OSPHERIX Photobooth is a Windows application for event photo sessions. It controls a DSLR camera, shows live view to guests, applies layouts and effects, supports local printing, and can be operated from another device over the local network.

Recommended setup

  • Windows laptop or mini PC (Windows 10 64-bit or later).
  • Supported DSLR camera connected by USB (Canon, Nikon, or Sony).
  • Stable AC adapter for the camera — avoid relying on battery during an event.
  • Optional: printer connected to the same PC for on-site printing.
  • Optional: local Wi-Fi router or LAN switch for Operator LAN and guest gallery.

Installing the application

  1. Download the latest installer from ospherix.com/download.html.
  2. Run OSPHERIX-Photobooth-Setup.exe and follow the on-screen prompts.
  3. When Windows Defender SmartScreen appears, click More info then Run anyway — this is expected for newly signed software.
  4. Allow Windows Firewall access on private networks if prompted.

First launch and license activation

On first launch the app displays the License Gate. You have two options:

  • Activate a purchased license: enter your license key and click Activate. The app will validate online and store a local signed token.
  • Start a demo: click the demo link to begin a 3-day trial of all features.
Validate the license while connected to the internet before taking the laptop to an event. Once validated, the app works offline until the license expires.

Initial configuration checklist

  1. Open Settings → Camera and select the backend matching your camera model.
  2. Open Settings → Print and configure the printer or export path.
  3. Set up a template in the Template Editor if you need custom overlays.
  4. Test one full capture cycle (live view → countdown → shutter → result) before guests arrive.
