Preview for players

Postby lucken » Sat Nov 19, 2011 3:05 pm

A preview for players should be nice:
- full screen is on second screen
- control is done via ArtNet
- on the second screen is a ledwall connected with low resolution
- then it is hard to see what you are doing
- so if the preview window - global view still could be used at the same time, that would be nice

Hi lucken,

I can understand your need for having a separate preview.
As far as I know it is not as easy to have both renderings at the same time. Besides "stealing" the performance for the real rendering the preview is handled absolutely different as the full screen one. Toggling both outputs to fullscreen you have to have set the exact same resolution as the render engine can always only exist twice at the same size. This would be not given when having a fullscreen and a preview rendering.

As I am not a developer I am not absolutely sure how or how easy your request could be achieved.
Nevertheless I understand the goal of having both at the same time. So I will add it to the list.

Hi,

for now it will not be possible to do that since the preview is working on the same render engine as the full screen. And as Markus said, the outputs need to be on the same resolution you will get in issues with that setup. The only way to work this out is to run a Manager or a Player as Master with Preview plus one Player as client for the LED screen.

Anyway, I will put this on the list, but I guess it will not be in one of the next updates.....

best regards

Patrick
