Cursor Control

The cursor control page allows manipulation of ICE’s on-screen cursor from a remote device.

Usage

Click or tap the “Start casting” button to begin controlling the cursor.

If you’re using a mouse and keyboard, your mouse will be locked to the Control Panel window, and all further mouse movement and keyboard interactions will be forwarded to ICE. Press [Escape] to unlock your mouse and stop controlling the ICE cursor.

If you’re using a touchscreen, a touchpad will be shown. You can use this like a laptop’s standard touchpad. Press the “Open keyboard” button to show your device’s on-screen keyboard if required.

Pre-requisites

As for all ICE Control Panel usage, the Igloo Core Service must be installed and running on the media server.

To display any Canvas UI, including the cursor that this page controls, ICE needs to be set to Immersive Mode.

An appropriate controller must also be configured.

1. Open the Controller menu from Config -> Controller

3. Change the controller’s Mode to Cursor.
