Install BPMediaNode Desktop

Before you start

• Windows or macOS machine — Linux Desktop is not offered.
• Prefer the stable channel on Download.
• ShowServer is not required to install or open MediaNode. Pair later only if you want Interactives / WebRTC on the same show.

Windows

1. Open Download and take the primary Windows installer (x64), or pick ia32 from Other platforms if you need it.
2. Run the setup.exe and finish the installer prompts.
3. Launch BPMediaNode from the Start menu or desktop shortcut.
4. Confirm the desktop window opens — this is MediaNode’s own UI, not a browser tab.

macOS

1. Open Download and take the matching DMG (Apple Silicon or Intel).
2. Open the DMG and install as prompted.
3. Launch BPMediaNode.
4. Confirm the desktop window opens.

After install

1. Route a source → sink on the desktop A/V crosspoint (NDI, streams, AirPlay, Cast, and more). See BPMediaNode docs.
2. Optional: connect to a reachable ShowServer when you want Interactives or WebRTC on the same show graph.
3. Optional Unreal movie path: MediaNode setup (UnrealRTC).
