The V-Nodes menu gives access to the following actions:
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Online | Synchronize Modulo Kinetic Designer to all V-Node server(s) and upload the show and media |
| Online no media sync. | Synchronize Modulo Kinetic Designer to all V-Node server(s) and the show without loading new media |
| Offline | Disconnect Modulo Kinetic Designer from all V-Node server(s) |
| Remote settings | Open a pop-up window to setup your V-Node server(s) remotely. More details |
| Auto-calibration 2d | Open a pop-up wizard to perform an automatic calibration of the outputs (License required). More details |
| LUCID Camera management… | Open a pop-up window to manage all LUCID cameras connected to the network. This is useful to simplify Auto-calibration 3d workflows |
| VNC client | This option does nothing and will be removed shortly. Image will be updated as well. |
| Camera calibration | Open a pop-up wizard to auto-discover camera parameters by placing patterns in the field of view of the camera. |

| Export… | Export the V-Nodes geometry of the current project |
Import/Export of V-Node geometry
From Kinetic Designer v6.1.5 and onwards the geometry of the V-Nodes can be exported and imported between projects.
This is useful when designing multiple projects to run on the same Designer/V-Node setup.
We strongly recommend first creating a Master project in which only the V-Node setup and its geometry will be set.
Once the geometry for your setup is finished, use the Export… function on this project to export the saved geometry to a .vno file.
Create your different project folders and in the shows created use the Import… function to import the geometry from the Master project.
This will ensure that all the UUIDs referencing your V-Nodes, Outputs, and X-Maps remain the same between your Master Project and your other projects.
Whenever your geometry requires changes, the changes can be brought to the Master Project and a new Export… can be made.
This new .vno file can then be imported into the other projects to reflect the changes to geometry.
