Monitoring (on a V-Node server)

Adding a monitoring output

Setting a monitoring output can be useful to check incoming signals from a camera or a computer that you would like to include in your projection.
You can either setup the monitoring using one of the physical outputs on the V-Node or by streaming it via NDI.

• In the V-Nodes tab Output section click on + and select Monitoring.
• Set the (x;y) to (0;0) and the resolution to 1920×1080.
• In the Preset section of the V-Nodes, with the Monitoring selected, click on +.
• This will open the Preset tab in the Editor panel.
• Set the rows to 3 and adjust the first two rows to have two colmuns using the + boxes in the top right corner of each row.
• Drag & drop the 4 outputs in the 4 boxes of the first two rows.
• Drag & drop the Render Surface from the Render Surface tab into the final row.

*If you use the Demo mode on your personal laptop, you can only use one Output, having a monitoring output is not yet possible.

Stream monitoring to NDI

It is possible to enable the NDI option to stream the monitoring via NDI and not use a physical output on the graphics card of the server.

• Select the Monitoring in the Output section of the V-Nodes tab.
• Check that the Out position is at (0;0) in the Output tab of the Editor panel.
• Toggle the NDI Enable.
  

!If you are using a real V-Node machine : you will need to toggle the concerned V-Node(s) to Online to be able to add a V-Node, a Render Surface, an Output, or Media.
