OSPHERIX Photobooth v2 is a Windows application that guides an event through Set up, Experience, and Deliver. It supports direct tethered cameras, webcam/USB and IP sources, guest capture, templates and effects, local printing, QR galleries, secondary displays, and Operator LAN.

Recommended setup

  • Windows laptop or mini PC (Windows 10 64-bit or later).
  • A compatible DSLR/mirrorless camera connected by USB, a UVC webcam, or an IP/MJPEG source.
  • 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 the Ospherix-Photobooth-v2-Setup installer 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. Under Set up, choose an event folder and configure the camera source. For tethered capture, select DSLR / Mirrorless (Direct) and click Detect Camera.
  2. Under Experience, choose the layout, orientation, countdowns, review behavior, effects, and design.
  3. Under Deliver, configure printing, QR/LAN sharing, the secondary guest page, and gallery management.
  4. Check the Event readiness indicator before launch.
  5. Test one full capture cycle (live view → countdown → shutter → result) before guests arrive.
