Send Image (WebSocket) Description

Facilitates real-time image transmission via WebSocket for AI artists, enabling direct server/client sharing without disk storage.

Send Image (WebSocket):

The ETN_SendImageWebSocket node is designed to facilitate the transmission of images through a WebSocket connection. This node is particularly useful for AI artists who need to send generated images directly to a web server or client application without saving them to disk. By leveraging WebSocket technology, the node ensures real-time, efficient, and seamless image transfer, which is ideal for applications requiring immediate image previews or updates. The primary function of this node is to convert image tensors into a format suitable for WebSocket transmission and then send these images to a specified server. This capability is essential for interactive AI art applications, where quick feedback and image updates are crucial.

Send Image (WebSocket) Input Parameters:

images

The images parameter expects a list of image tensors that you want to send via WebSocket. Each tensor represents an image in a format that can be processed by the node. The node will convert these tensors into PNG images and transmit them to the WebSocket server. This parameter is crucial as it defines the images that will be sent, and its content directly impacts the node's execution and results. There are no specific minimum, maximum, or default values for this parameter, but it must be a valid list of image tensors.

Send Image (WebSocket) Output Parameters:

This node does not produce any direct output parameters. Instead, it performs the action of sending images through a WebSocket connection. The success of this operation can be monitored through the WebSocket server or client application receiving the images.

Send Image (WebSocket) Usage Tips:

  • Ensure that the images parameter contains valid image tensors to avoid errors during the conversion and transmission process.
  • Use this node in scenarios where real-time image updates are required, such as interactive AI art applications or live previews.
  • Make sure your WebSocket server is properly configured to receive and handle the incoming image data.

Send Image (WebSocket) Common Errors and Solutions:

Invalid image tensor format

  • Explanation: The images parameter contains tensors that are not in a valid format for conversion.
  • Solution: Verify that the tensors in the images parameter are correctly formatted and compatible with the node's processing requirements.

WebSocket connection failure

  • Explanation: The node is unable to establish a connection with the WebSocket server.
  • Solution: Check the WebSocket server address and ensure that the server is running and accessible. Verify network connectivity and firewall settings.

Image transmission error

  • Explanation: An error occurred while sending the image data through the WebSocket connection.
  • Solution: Ensure that the WebSocket server is capable of handling the image data being sent. Check for any server-side issues or limitations that might be causing the transmission error.
