When Baryon Pro is enough
Use Baryon Pro when you run Baryon Desktop as part of your own professional visual workflow, within your plan and device limits. That includes paid shows, festivals, and client gigs.
Example. A small AV studio runs Baryon Desktop Pro on its own machine and sends a Syphon feed into Resolume for a paid client show. Pro covers that use.
Teams & Installations
Contact us about purchasing multiple Desktop licenses, coordinating a rollout, or arranging site terms and support for a permanent installation.
Example. An AV integrator is building a permanent sound-reactive exhibit across several museum galleries. The museum needs Baryon on multiple playback machines and wants help planning the rollout and ongoing support.
Engine Licensing
A separate written commercial agreement is required to embed, redistribute, resell, white-label, or host Baryon or its engine. This covers shipping Baryon as part of a product or client installation, including hardware and companion software, and running an engine-powered service. Other commercial use of the engine source is governed by the engine license terms.
Example. A DJ equipment maker bundles the Baryon engine in its controller’s companion app so customers can generate cymatics from their mixes. Shipping the engine to those customers requires a written agreement.
This page is a public summary. The Desktop EULA governs Baryon Pro, and the written agreement governs any commercial license Baryon grants.
What remains free
Personal use, academic research, education, and contribution to this repository remain available under the engine’s PolyForm Strict terms. The commercial license is not required for private, non-commercial study and experimentation.
Attribution
Unless the written commercial license says otherwise, products distributed under a commercial license must include visible attribution to the Baryon engine and the baryon.live property.
