What is xCapture for ?  I see that it "captures data from the network" but I don't understand the use case... I tried searching the forums for any details.

Say you have Madrix software and want to capture some effects from it,  Xcaapture takes the artnet or E131 it captures from the stream Madrix sends out.  Of course you have to some setup...
