This means there is no longer a need for separate installations for these services. We have moved away from using multiple ports for different integrations. Both Streetview and Matterport can now be accessed through a single port, port 800, on the igloo-core-service. The updated URLs for accessing these services are e.g. * Streetview Control: `http://localhost:800/streetview/control/` * Matterport Control: `http://localhost:800/matterport/control/` For a full list of updated URLs, refer to: * [Google Street View - Documentation](http://atlassian.net/) * [Matterport - Documentation](http://atlassian.net/) #### **Automatic Migration with 1.3 Installation** The installation of 1.3 includes an automatic migration process to help with the transition to the updated system. This migration includes: * **Service Removal**: The standalone Streetview and Matterport services will be removed. No settings are deleted during this process. * **API Key Migration** : If existing API keys for Streetview and Matterport are found, they will be transferred to the igloo-core-service configuration file located at `C:\igloo\igloo-core-service\config.json`. * **Favorites**: Favorites, along with Streetview and Matterport sessions, will be updated to reflect the new port 800 access point. This ensures all your saved data remains intact and easily accessible under the new system. * **sessions**: any relevant URL's within the database are updated to use the new 800 port * **Redirects for Old URLs** : old URLs (such as `http://localhost:9070/control/`) will automatically redirect to the new corresponding igloo-core-service URLs, in this case `http://localhost:800/streetview/control/` ### API Breaking changes * load session message #### `session/load?id= ` Previously the id parameter was the database ID of the session. In 1.3 this has been changed such that the id expects the UUID of the session. This can be found via the Edit Session window. Sessions can still be loaded using the database ID using the following #### `session/load?databaseId=10` ### Known Issues * **WebView audio:** after prolonged usage the audio output from a WebView layer can sometimes stop outputting under certain hardware configurations --- version: "2.0.0" language: "en" --- # 1.4.x ## Highlights * **Triggers and Actions (New!)** : Allows users and integrators to create customisable experiences by defining events (Triggers) that initiate specific Actions [Triggers and Actions](https://docs.igloovision.com/documentation/current/triggers-and-actions.md) * **Control Panel Content Library Browser:**Browse and open Sessions and media files * **PDF Layer (New!)** : A dedicated layer for displaying PDF files, previously requiring a WebView layer [PDF](https://docs.igloovision.com/documentation/current/pdf.md) * **AppView Layer (New!)** : Capture and display locally running applications.

This feature may be disabled depending on your license - please get in touch if you'd like to request access. ## **Setup** Before using the AI Asset Generation features, you must configure at least one AI vendor with and API key. Igloo Core Engine supports multiple vendors, each offering one or more models: ### **Supported Vendors \& Models** **OpenAI** * **GPT Image** * **DALL·E 2** * **DALL·E 3** **Google** * **Gemini 2.5 (Nano Banana)** * **Gemini 3.1 (Nano Banana 2)** **Blockade Labs** * **Skybox 3** You may enable as many or as few vendors as you like. Each vendor is optional---if you only have an API key for one service, you can still use that vendor's models exclusively. *** ** * ** *** ### **API Key Configuration** To activate a model, you must supply your own API key for its vendor. 1. Locate the file: `AIUserSettings.json` This file is stored in the installation Directory `C:\ProgramData\Igloo Vision\IglooCoreEngine\settings\AI` directory. 2. Open the file in a text editor. 3. Each vendor has a field inside `"apiKeys"` configuration block. Add your API key to the appropriate field. For example: JSON "appSettings": { "apiKeys": { "blockadelabs": "YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY", "googleai": "", "openai": "" }, ...... ] 4. Save the file and restart the application. ![image-20251114-200317.png](https://docs.igloovision.com/__attachments/a_164d561991cfe2573894410b6261e595a07e875e2eb17eec03d40955fc13a3f0/image-20251114-200317.png?cb=69348757b458a98d48fde5652ee0066d) Once configured, the models associated with vendors that contain valid keys will appear in the AI Generation tab in the Settings wind. ### Next: [Image Generation](https://docs.igloovision.com/documentation/current/image-generation.md) ### Notes on API Keys API key generation differs per vendor and must be completed via each provider's platform: * OpenAI: * Google AI (Gemini): * Blockade Labs: [Integrations (List) \| Skybox AI](https://www.blockadelabs.com/integrations) API usage is typically billed separately from any subscription plans. Ensure billing is enabled on the vendor platform, otherwise requests may fail even if a key is present. --- version: "2.0.0" language: "en" --- # Apps The apps page shows a configurable list of applications that are available on the target media server. ![image-20260414-125201.png](https://docs.igloovision.com/__attachments/a_3845953e652fe3f5ef0e943dd00f0711b8d6352e4e7d97a125f0d7502118a0c1/image-20260414-125201.png?cb=48727dbb3417b1c9751394d2aa4d4254) Click an application to open it in Igloo Control Panel. ![image-20260414-125051.png](https://docs.igloovision.com/__attachments/a_74e3752a71c39a149e3b3444afdd524f4c8c16afdb1d3adfb917d127653778ce/image-20260414-125051.png?cb=f92b25212793bdabfe8340f306542d8a) The default apps are documented on this site, but any custom apps added to your installation may not have a dedicated page here. ## Apps Default apps: * [Matterport](https://docs.igloovision.com/documentation/current/matterport.md) * [Google Street View](https://docs.igloovision.com/documentation/current/google-street-view.md) * [Igloo FileDrop](https://docs.igloovision.com/documentation/current/ice-drop.md) Pre-configured apps: * [Open Stage Control](http://openstagecontrol.ammd.net/docs/getting-started/introduction/).

There is also a button which can be used to return to it at any time. ### Presentation Geometry * The presentation window has to remain fully contained within a display for it to be captured i.e. it cannot span multiple windows displays * The presentation window must also be positioned on a display which is connected to the same GPU as Igloo Core Engine The geometry settings control its position and size. You can also move and resize it like any other desktop window. But you will not be able to change it so that any portion is off the desktop To prevent the PowerPoint presentation window from appearing in front of the Igloo Core Engine output, enable "Always on Top" in the Screens settings. This ensures the output windows remain above the presentation during usage. ### Read-only fallback Due to the limitations imposed by a file that is set to be read-only. Igloo Core Engine can't force the slideshow to be windowed. Read-only files will be shown in the default mode which is full screen. This makes the slideshow window pop up on top for a brief moment before eventually being put behind the Igloo Core Engine window. For the best experience, consider changing the file to be editable and save it. *** ** * ** *** --- version: "2.0.0" language: "en" --- # Audio Window The Audio Settings window is opened via the toolbar **Settings \> Audio Settings** ## Sources ![image-20260211-151614.png](https://docs.igloovision.com/__attachments/a_baf1a4ea1d54557a617aef86758e4b055945b867b874e5aa43cb3ee2e7eb062b/image-20260211-151614.png?cb=43692469ad97554a159ae7d9539c57e5) Every audio capable Layer will show within the sources menu, where the volume and mute settings can be configured.

Select the output device from the list. **Please notice:** 1. On some systems, then a bug within the audio driver has been identified, that causes only Igloo Core Engine to output audio, blocking the audio from other apps. This issue is caused by the audio driver, forcing the audio device to enter exclusive mode, when Igloo Core Engine is registering the installed ASIO devices. This issue is not depending on whatever an ASIO audio device is installed or not. 2. For multiuser systems, where multiple users is logged in at the very same time, then it's recommended to ***disable the ASIO interfaces*** as stated below. Using ASIO audio devices in setup's like these, then Igloo Core Engine can crash - due to the exclusive nature of ASIO. For systems, where this issue is happening, then open the audioSettings.xml. Go to the \ tag, and change the attribute ***disableAsio="0"*** to ***disableAsio="1"***. This will force Igloo Core Engine to only use the Windows WASAPI audio devices, by disabling the ASIO devices in Igloo Core Engine. --- version: "2.0.0" language: "en" --- # Autodesk Navisworks and Revit **Autodesk Revit** ([https://www.autodesk.co.uk/products/revit/overview?term=1-YEAR\&tab=subscription](https://www.autodesk.co.uk/products/revit/overview?term=1-YEAR&tab=subscription) ) is a [building information modelling](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_information_modeling) software for architects, landscape architects, structural engineers, [mechanical, electrical, and plumbing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical,_electrical,_and_plumbing) (MEP) engineers, designers and contractors ( ). **Autodesk Navisworks** ([https://www.autodesk.co.uk/products/navisworks/overview?term=1-YEAR\&tab=subscription](https://www.autodesk.co.uk/products/navisworks/overview?term=1-YEAR&tab=subscription) ) is a 3D design review package used primarily in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industries to complement 3D design packages (such as [Autodesk Revit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autodesk_Revit), [AutoCAD](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AutoCAD), and [MicroStation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MicroStation)) ( ). ## Integration This integration is built by the Igloo software development team using the Navisworks and Revit API to create plugins to the native application. A menu appears in Navisworks/Revit to enable sharing of a 360 degree image of the current camera location with Igloo Core Engine. The image is received via NDI or Spout protocol. ## Configuration The configuration file for the plugin is located in the AppData folder of the current user in '\\Igloo Vision\\Navisworks\\Navisworks.xml' or '\\Igloo Vision\\Revit\\Revit.xml'. The resolution of the image which is sent to Igloo Core Engine can be modified in this file (width and height are in pixels and must be the same value). Also the protocol can be specified here as either NDI or Spout. 2048 2048 Revit False False CPU NDI ## Using the Igloo Plugin A button called 'Display in Igloo' will appear in the Add-ins menu as shown below in Revit 2022. ![revit1.png](https://docs.igloovision.com/__attachments/a_b624ef4a2f982a98e03b8a70ca3481ca0daced632006e161952b20b3b01ead5b/revit1.png?cb=02fc6751ee43135432cf9d29eea1d9c6) Display in Igloo button.

When the device goes in or out of use (as defined by the device itself) the service will undertake the configured actions. For ease, the service can load and remove a `.iceLayer` file when the device goes in or out of use. If more complexity is required, it can also execute arbitrary shell commands when the same events occur. ### Example (after correct configuration) 1. Open the ClickShare app and select the target device. 2. The configured `.iceLayer` file will be added to the workspace. 3. The sharing code becomes visible on-canvas after addition of the layer. 4. Enter the code into the ClickShare app and start screen sharing 5. When the app is closed or sharing is stopped, the layer will be removed. ## Configuration In `config.json` under the `clickshare` key, provide an array of clickshare device descriptors. JSON "clickshare": { "devices": [ { "enabled": false, "loadLayer": true, "removeLayer": true, "layer": "C:\\dev\\igloo\\igloo-core-service\\dist\\layers\\clickshare.iceLayer", "ip": "", "enabledAction": { "cmd": "", "args": [] }, "disabledAction": { "cmd": "", "args": [] } } ] } * `enabled` - whether to subscribe to device events. * `loadLayer` - whether to add the configured `.iceLayer` file when the clickshare device starts being used. * `removeLayer` - whether to remove the configured layer when the device goes out of use. * `layer` - path to `.iceLayer` file * `ip` - IP address of the target ClickShare device on the local network. * `enabledAction` * `cmd` - shell command to execute when the device starts being used. * `args` - arguments to that shell command * `disabledAction` * `cmd` - shell command to execute when the device stops being used. * `args` - arguments to that shell command. --- version: "2.0.0" language: "en" --- # BaselineZ BaselineZ ([https://baselinez.com](https://baselinez.com/)/) is a real-time VR application for Geoscience data visualisation and collaboration.

The view in the scene can be changed while the presentation is running. The Welcome Tour is an example 3D Story. ### Navigation BaselineZ has an on-canvas user interface which can be controlled from Igloo Control Panel or a Game Controller. From the console you can use keyboard control WASD to move forward, left, back, right. Use the Game Controller tab in Igloo Control Panel to move around in the scene. If available, this will utilise the gyro mechanism to adjust the cursor position. Use the joystick to navigate around the scene. Direct the cursor at an object or a floating menu item and press B to select it. There is a mode selection using the A, X and Y buttons. Toggle each mode on and off using the appropriate button: A (pan mode), X (scale mode) and Y (rotation mode) and use the joystick to adjust the pan, scale and rotation values. See the Getting Started guide for more detailed navigation info. ## I have an Issue!

Sessions can be grouped into collections and sorted by when they were last loaded. [Session collections](https://360igloo.atlassian.net/wiki/display/STD/Session+collections) --- version: "2.0.0" language: "en" --- # Black Level Tab Requires Igloo Core Engine version 1.5.0+ Projectors tend to leak some light, even when displaying a completely black image. This light becomes very noticeable in the areas where projectors are overlapping. To hide this noticeable light leak in the projector overlap areas, it helps to raise the light level in the areas where the projectors do not overlap. When setting up the black level adjustment, then it is critical that the Warping and Blending has been correctly set, and the projectors have been turned on for at least 10mins. This warm up period is critical, as the projectors mechanical and electrical parameters will change during this warm up period. **Some of the issues you might encounter are** * Misaligned projector overlap areas -- due to the mechanical properties of the projector optics. * Misaligned black level values, as the electrical properties of the lamp, DLP or SXRD chips changes. **Pre black level adjustment checklist** 1. Make sure all the projectors are at normal operating temperature 2. Make sure all projectors are outputting the same luminance, using a bright image. 3. Make sure all Warp and Blend adjustments are done properly ## Configuration ### **Setup the projector non overlap areas** 1. Enable the 'Black Level' tab: The Black level tab is hidden by default. To Enable, from the main menu bar 'view \> Black Level Tab' 2. Within the Black Level tab enable the***Regioning Mode.*** 3. Enable the warping control points, they should now appear blue. 4. Using the normal Warping controls, mark the areas where the projectors***do not overlap***. ### **Setup the black level blending** Blending should only be used in cases where the projector has overscanning which cannot be disabled. Disabling projector overscan will provide much better results and will be significantly easier to maintain. While the Black level regioning mode is enabled, then you can configure the blending using the normal blending tool's. When using the Blending, a small overlap can be used to hide/smear out the sharp edge between the non-overlapped, and the overlapped area. This is achieved by defining the non-overlapped area a few pixels into the projector overlap area. If the blend area is too wide, then this can cause some unwanted artefacts within the blend area. ### **Configure the Black Level uplift parameter** 1. Using the ***Uplift Amount***, adjust the value to match the luminance of the center of the overlapped area. 2. Depending on the projector setup used in the installation, you maybe need to adjust the amount of uplift by different amounts to match the corners of the overlapped area. This can be done with the ***Upper left*** **,** ***Lower left*** , ***Upper right*** , ***Lower right*** and ***Right center compensation***. Adjust these values to get the a uniform black level uplift. ### **Configure the Black Level roll off parameters** 1. At higher luminance values, the adjustment at the non-overlapped regions can overshoot their luminance artificially as a result of the ***Black level*** adjustment at low luminance values. The parameters **Threshold** and**Width** correct the **Black level** adjustment for higher luminance values by gradually scaling its value to zero after a threshold luminance value. 2. The parameter **Threshold** controls the luminance value after which the **Black level** adjustment decays to zero. The parameter **Width** controls how fast the adjustment falls off to zero. 3. Figure 1 illustrates the shape of the **Blacklevel rolloff** as a function of image luminance. The x-axis represents the image luminance and the y-axis represents the scaling of the ***Black level*** adjustment. The **Blacklevel Threshold** value is 0.5 and the **Blacklevel Width** is 0.1. ![Sigmoid_avg05_sig01.png](https://docs.igloovision.com/__attachments/a_1b0bbaf3d4c12f1c07d086d5d07a9438bb5490a6bf0623d3e1d97cd1323020f3/Sigmoid_avg05_sig01.png?cb=3d346ae58a0e558dafc85f8a08446dcc) 4. Figure 2 shows the effect of changing the **Blacklevel Threshold** value to a lower value 0.2. The code snippet below can be used to visualise different **Blacklevel rolloff**shapes. ![Sigmoid_avg02_sig01.png](https://docs.igloovision.com/__attachments/a_71e9768241c52c79173f651480d94ff5298f7b104c26b86fefba5f382ce69ede/Sigmoid_avg02_sig01.png?cb=bac6c0b049f0193d2d20a2d574e71ad3) ### **Export Black Level Settings** When done, enabled the **Black Level** checkbox in the **Export** Tab. Igloo Setup will then export a set of black level image masks and settings for Igloo Core Engine to use. --- version: "2.0.0" language: "en" --- # Blackmagic Igloo Core Engine has support for the Blackmagic cards which are compatible with the Blackmagic Desktop Video drivers. These cards include the Decklink and Intensity series. The Blackmagic Layer enables users to select from available video inputs to initialise video capture. ## Setup 1. Create a new Blackmagic layer. From the toolbar navigate to Layer \> Add Layer \> Blackmagic 2. With the Blackmagic layer selected in Igloo Core Engine, you will see a list of available video inputs for your capture card within the Layer properties panel. 3. Simply select the input you wish to capture from. You can change this selection at any point. 4. Once the input is selected, the software will initialise video capture from that input. ### Troubleshooting Should you encounter any issues while using a Blackmagic capture card in Igloo Core Engine, please take the following steps: 1. Ensure that the capture card is correctly installed and recognised by your system, this can be verified within windows device manage and the Blackmagic Media Express application. 2. Check that the appropriate drivers for the card are up-to-date. 3. Make sure the video source connected to the selected input of the capture card is sending out the signal correctly --- version: "2.0.0" language: "en" --- # Blending Tab ## Edge Blend to Soften Aliasing A small edge blend can be used counteract aliasing. Typically, you may see this on the top edge of the Warp after exporting for a cylindrical screen. * In the Warpers blend settings, set the Top Global Gamma to 0 * Increase the Top Width setting until the blend covers between 1-5 pixels * Increase the Top Global Gamma until you see a smooth transition to black * Repeat for all Projectors --- version: "2.0.0" language: "en" --- # Blockade Labs Skybox This integration enables 360 images to be generated using Blockade Labs Skybox AI and viewed in an Igloo. Please note there is a new method for generating images using AI models, introduced in IglooCoreEngine 2.0, see [Image Generation](https://docs.igloovision.com/documentation/current/image-generation.md) Scroll down for a description of the legacy method for using Blockade Labs Skybox. **Integration within Image Layer properties** We have integrated with a number of different AI models for image generation.

Some layers are better controlled using custom UI rather than the default controls. You may also want to: * Simplify the UI for end-users * Hide controls that shouldn't be modified * Provide a custom interface tailored to a specific workflow Metadata allows you to control exactly what is shown in the Control Panel. *** ** * ** *** ## What can be done? * Hide a layer from the Control Panel layer list * Modify what elements of a layer's UI are displayed (the right hand side of the screen on desktop) * Create and display new *blocks* within the layer's UI. ### Blocks Three types of blocks can be created: * `web` * Display a webpage * e.g. a control page (Streetview, etc.) * `image` * Display an image from Igloo Core Service's `public/` directory * e.g. button map for a layer that uses a controller * `builtin` * Display some additional predefined UI component on any layer type * e.g. presentation controls on a WebView showing [slides.com](http://slides.com/) or similar * `text` * Display formatted text content using markdown * e.g. instructions for how to use the layer with description and links to external documentation *** ** * ** *** ## How? See the Igloo Core Engine metadata documentation [Misc \| Metadata](https://docs.igloovision.com/documentation/current/misc.md#Metadata) for information on how to add/edit metadata. These are the available options in brief: JSON { "hideFromLayerList": false, "hideEverything": false, "hideTopRow": false, "hideName": false, "hideMoveToRegion": false, "hideDelete": false, "hideLayerTypeUi": false, "hideLayerProperties": false, "hideGeneral": false, "hideGeometry": false, "hideTruePerspective": false, "block": { "streetview": { "type": "web", "url": "$ics/streetview/control", "title": "Streetview" } } } Full documentation is accessible using the JSON schema methods discussed below. You can provide this configuration to Control Panel in two ways: *** ** * ** *** ### JSON Configuration can be provided as JSON, as demonstrated above, using the metadata key `controlPanel`. The available metadata configuration for your version of Igloo Control Panel is provided as a [JSON schema](https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/json-schema-core). You can make use of this in an editor that supports JSON schema validation by creating a JSON file containing the structure below, ensuring it refers to the address of an accessible instance of the Igloo Core Service. We recommend JSON { "$schema": "http://localhost:800/api/control-panel/metadata-schema.json" } Presuming that the text editor is set up correctly, it will provide autocomplete + validation of metadata declaration you're now writing (including documentation for each of the available properties). You can view the same information in a browser, without the need for a text editor, using [json-schema.app](https://json-schema.app/start) -- paste the URL from above into the input field. ([This link](https://json-schema.app/view/%23?url=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A800%2Fapi%2Fcontrol-panel%2Fmetadata-schema.json) points to `localhost`, which will work locally on the media server). Once you've built your configuration, you can copy paste it into the value of a layer metadata field with the key `controlPanel`. ### Flat (individual keys) Any key from the above JSON format can be provided as a standalone key. This can be helpful when only minimal configuration is needed, or when testing. Flat keys are merged with the JSON described above (i.e. both can be defined at once and the resulting properties will be merged). For example, to hide the "move to region" button from a layer, you can provide the metadata key `controlPanel.hideMoveToRegion` with no value. ### `web` blocks Two variables are available to blocks with the `web` type. * `$ics` is replaced with the full URL pointing to the `igloo-core-service` on the machine that Control Panel is connected to (e.g. the equivalent of `http://localhost:800/`) * `$imp` is replaced with the IP *only* of the same machine (e.g. the equivalent of `http://localhost`) -- this allows you to reference other web servers that might be running on that same machine. *** ** * ** *** ## Examples An example session demonstrating the capabilities of custom blocks and metadata is included with Igloo Core Engine. You can import it from: C:\ProgramData\Igloo Vision\IglooCoreEngine\example sessions\Blocks Example This session provides working examples of: * Web, image, built-in, and text blocks * UI customisation and layout control * Practical configurations for real-world use cases It's recommended to explore this session alongside the following examples to better understand how the configuration behaves in practice. *** ** * ** *** ### Show Only Layer Type Controls ![image-20260414-113550.png](https://docs.igloovision.com/__attachments/a_2c70480ac4450d6c87b18b61a3308af9bbaeea68e91669fa33efaa9c3b327cc3/image-20260414-113550.png?cb=4a7184743f86687f213b4b049f11f887) Hide General / Geometry but keep layer-specific controls (e.g. playback, PDF navigation): { "hideLayerProperties": true } #### Flat The following layer metadata: | **Key** | **Value** | |------------------------------------|-----------------------| | `controlPanel.hideLayerProperties` | `(no value required)` | *** ** * ** *** ### Full UI Replacement (Maximised Web App) You could embed the control page and hide all other built-in UI for a layer which provides its own frontend interface using the following configuration (using streetview as an example) #### JSON Layer metadata with key `controlPanel` and the value set to: JSON { "block": { "streetview": { "type": "web", "url": "$ics/streetview/control", "features": { "maximisable" : true } } }, "hideEverything": true } #### Flat The following layer metadata: | **Key** | **Value** | |--------------------------------------|---------------------------| | `controlPanel.block.streetview.type` | `web` | | `controlPanel.block.streetview.url` | `$ics/streetview/control` | | `controlPanel.hideEverything` | (no value required) | *** ** * ** *** ### Button map ![image-20260414-113709.png](https://docs.igloovision.com/__attachments/a_9c4ab273f1d93f9c8491c5293333e88e14ac1c47c03f2e2b6c98e31159c55857/image-20260414-113709.png?cb=35f7bf4b1fd7cce8d790d67fcd112526) Place your desired button map image in `C:\igloo\igloo-core-service\public\` (let's call it `ButtonMap.jpg` for now). This will place the image at the top of the layer UI section, as well as hiding: * the layer's built in UI (e.g. the Spout sender selection controls) * the "general" and "geometry" layer property sections (leaving access to the "True Perspective" section) But leaving everything else intact. #### JSON JSON { "block": { "button_map": { "type": "image", "path": "ButtonMap.jpg" } }, "hideLayerTypeUi": true, "hideGeneral": true, "hideGeometry": true } #### Flat | **Key** | **Value** | |--------------------------------------|---------------------| | `controlPanel.block.button_map.type` | `image` | | `controlPanel.block.button_map.path` | `ButtonMap.jpg` | | `controlPanel.hideLayerTypeUi` | (no value required) | | `controlPanel.hideGeneral` | (no value required) | | `controlPanel.hideGeometry` | (no value required) | *** ** * ** *** ### Presentation Controls for a WebView (maybe displaying [slides.com](http://slides.com/)) ![image-20260414-113843.png](https://docs.igloovision.com/__attachments/a_b6a498f2d313b8974bca8c20d5118506088d323d856cd3f89c93eb1c4d95c3e8/image-20260414-113843.png?cb=1cb38bbac979e506dbf02439ef53bf4b) Add the presentation controls, but don't change anything else about how the layer's UI is displayed #### JSON JSON { "block": { "c": { "type": "builtin", "builtin": "presentationControls" } } } #### Flat | **Key** | **Value** | |--------------------------------|------------------------| | `controlPanel.block.c.type` | `builtin` | | `controlPanel.block.c.builtin` | `presentationControls` | *** ** * ** *** ### Text Instructions Block ![image-20260414-114537.png](https://docs.igloovision.com/__attachments/a_ebaa6aa4c5be8bdef8efd2bce097adc11eb4040de24f2f3795e11caa393ab488/image-20260414-114537.png?cb=9ec0380b74d2b4e433a9b7bad59753d2) Provide inline instructions for users include link to external documentation@ JSON { "block": { "info": { "type": "text", "title": "WebView Controls", "body": "**Navigation**\n- Enter a URL and press **→** to load a page\n- Use **←** / **→** to navigate\n- Press refresh to reload\n\n---\n\n[WebView documentation](https://docs.igloovision.com/documentation/current/webview)" } } } ### Maximisable Web Block with True Perspective ![image-20260429-152014.png](https://docs.igloovision.com/__attachments/a_2bbde3e679d8eff387ec13bab07682ba1a0f9d004fac08e7165c5f772d1b4124/image-20260429-152014.png?cb=6b251d5a46b8a1469f21fd7c76332662) Use this approach when the main control UI should be an embedded, maximisable web block, while still keeping the True Perspective settings available. This is useful for app-style layers such as Kuula, where the user mostly interacts with the custom web controls but may still need to adjust True Perspective. Layer metadata with key `controlPanel` and the value set to: { "hideGeometry": true, "hideGeneral": true, "block": { "controls": { "type": "web", "url": "$ics/kuula/control", "title": "App Controls", "features": { "maximisable": true } } } } This shows the embedded web controls as a maximisable block and hides the General and Geometry sections, leaving True Perspective visible alongside the custom controls. --- version: "2.0.0" language: "en" --- # Canvas Configuration ## Output rotation The output canvas rotation can be adjusted to suit your needs. This feature is particularly useful when the projectors or Igloo Setup regions result in the canvas centre being located in a corner of the room. By default, new layers in Igloo Core Engine are placed at the centre of the canvas. However, in most cases, it is more desirable to have the canvas centre positioned in the middle of the room. ![image-20230310-153407.png](https://docs.igloovision.com/__attachments/a_7a8f22a6d67925d2068e3257068f0bf1036f652018c1fac4c7c0cef2ddec4e5a/image-20230310-153407.png?cb=5c1d3b20557b06361a403d42bcd158e9) Not ideal ![image-20230310-153442.png](https://docs.igloovision.com/__attachments/a_877b134d21baaf5ef8d063944cbfb1adb0ead673c65fe8cb7f066c0e3c5dac7a/image-20230310-153442.png?cb=0b3baa04f0ba83c3c0de3aa7506d880e) Better output orientation When adjusting the output rotation, it is important to note that the changes will only impact the output before warping is applied. This means that the desktop canvas tab view will remain unchanged. To see the effects of the new rotation, navigate to the Screen tab. Here, you can observe how the canvas is applied to the 3D preview of your screen. ### Floors and walls In the Igloo Setup app, you have the option to export both a wall and a floor region. While a wall region is always exported, the floor region is optional. This will create two separate regions in the output settings file named CanvasSettings.xml. The rotation of the wall is applied horizontally, causing the output to shift accordingly. On the other hand, when you apply rotation to the floor region, it will rotate around its own center. ### CanvasSettings.xml The output settings file named CanvasSettings.xml is exported from Igloo Setup and is also where the default settings are saved. Please note that a wall "roi" (region of interest) is always exported. However, the floor region will only be included if it is selected in Igloo Setup. XML 4000 1000 Box 1 1 0 0 ![image-20260414-201341.png](https://docs.igloovision.com/__attachments/a_031e9957bbafc5200526b91ce77fbdb6b237de512d2f278171fb78fd086e8c73/image-20260414-201341.png?cb=2f1de64ef498f932156742e559725981) ## Ignore rotation for True Perspective The two checkboxes named "Ignore wall/floor rotation TP" determine how layers using the TruePerspective (TP) effect behave in relation to the canvas rotation. Rotating the canvas output of a true perspective layer can disrupt the true perspective effect. For example, the true perspective effect expects the corners of the room to be in a fixed position, but changing the output rotation can cause the corners calculated by the true perspective shader to be misaligned with the physical corners of the room. When "Ignore wall/floor rotation TP" is enabled, all layers that use true perspective will automatically adjust their output to compensate for the canvas rotation. As a result, even though other UI elements and non-TP layers may be rotated, the image of a TP layer will appear to remain in the same position. To change the orientation of a TP layer, you should adjust the "Heading" variable in the TP menu. It is important to note that when "Ignore wall/floor rotation TP" is enabled, the TP layer texture will still be rotated in the console Canvas tab. However, what you see on the output is the compensation for the rotation being applied, which makes the TP layer appear stationary.. ![image-20230313-104643.png](https://docs.igloovision.com/__attachments/a_a9e308ed7a708a48a117fc6c10186506e9d165ae86945e27553ef38796724b9f/image-20230313-104643.png?cb=9dfa74ecde1d1c5575d2dd9c0a68d01e) Ignore rotation ON ![image-20230313-105238.png](https://docs.igloovision.com/__attachments/a_f3aedae9106a15e2dfdd8974d053841867efcf1767be5f0f7031b29052bd5500/image-20230313-105238.png?cb=d318a930240fef27ec7c150b1b51b608) Ignore rotation OFF --- version: "2.0.0" language: "en" --- # Canvas Recording \| Screenshot You have the capability to capture your workspace activities in the form of a video file, as well as take still snapshots.

You can customize it to your preference. #### Folder This is the location where your recorded files will be stored. Choose a folder on your system where you want the recordings to be saved. #### Format You can choose the quality and corresponding format of your video from the following options: 1. High Quality (Hap): This option gives you superior video quality but results in larger file sizes. 2. Medium Quality (H.265): Offers moderate video quality with reasonable file sizes. 3. Low Quality (H.264): This choice provides lower video quality but ensures smaller file sizes. #### Scale This optional setting allows you to adjust the resolution of the video. You can specify a scaling value to alter the video resolution while keeping the original aspect ratio intact. #### Frame rate This is the desired frames-per-second (FPS) rate of your recording. Higher frame rates yield smoother video playback, but can result in larger files. #### Audio You can enable this setting if you wish to capture audio along with the video. If disabled, the output file will be a silent video. #### Source This setting determines the origin of the audio that will be recorded. By selecting 'App audio', you can capture the sound from the Igloo Core Engine application. Alternatively, you can choose any available connected audio devices from the list to record audio from those sources. *** ** * ** *** ![image-20230717-114057.png](https://docs.igloovision.com/__attachments/a_141b0286123ccbb7e1a3ef1c286bd74ac7ae35fab8a8a1200f71b2ef6e466811/image-20230717-114057.png?cb=bc8b15053a25a08ead5b18808ee74361) ### Canvas Region The Canvas Region is where you define a specific portion of your workspace to be captured when recording a video or taking a screenshot. You can customize the area to be captured using the following parameters: #### Position X This parameter specifies the horizontal position (left to right) of the top-left corner of your selected region on the workspace. #### Position Y This defines the vertical position (top to bottom) of the top-left corner of your chosen region on the workspace. #### Width This denotes the horizontal extent of the region to be captured. Adjust this to increase or decrease the breadth of the captured area. #### Height This sets the vertical extent of the region to be captured. Modify this to increase or decrease the height of the captured area. ### Screenshot #### Folder This setting represents the directory where your captured screenshots will be saved. You should select a suitable location on your system to store these images. #### Image Format You can choose the format for your screenshots from the following options: 1. PNG: Portable Network Graphics format, best for images requiring transparency. 2. JPEG: Joint Photographic Experts Group format, generally preferred for its balance of image quality and file size. --- version: "2.0.0" language: "en" --- # Canvas Share Window The Canvas can be shared using via and . * NDI - Streams the Canvas over the network to other machines and NDI-compatible applications. * Spout - Shares the Canvas texture locally between applications on the same machine (GPU-to-GPU).

The canvas region is a composition of all screens in the projection scene with empty space in between. The canvas border is an axis aligned bounding box whose purpose is to give a visual cue of the canvas region and is drawn as thick yellow line. ## Canvas Topology The topology of the canvas can be adjusted to suit the installation. For a projection scene with no floor projection, the topology would typically be a horizontal row of screens. However, if the horizontal resolution is greater than 16k pixels, then moving some of the screens to form a grid instead of a row will allow the canvas to fit within the 16k x 16k limit. For a projection scene with floor projection, it is common to have a grid arrangement, with the floor screens, positioned below the screens used for the walls. The advantage of this approach is that the width of the walls corresponds to the width of the canvas, and this has benefits when moving and scaling content. Also content can be moved from the walls to the floor with an intuitive 'downward' action. The illustration below shows how the floor screens can be repositioned using the left mouse button to drag them to a new location. ![igloo_setup_canvas.gif](https://docs.igloovision.com/__attachments/a_0cb357e01f010b58d310ee3458ff1cac520a3cf619c5e280fb873e5100fd4544/igloo_setup_canvas.gif) Moving the floor screen below the walls. For performance reasons it is recommended to adjust your canvas topology to minimise empty space. The larger the canvas resolution the more GPU memory will be required. ### Canvas Resolution The **Canvas Resolution (px)** valuesgive the overall canvas resolution in pixels specified in width and height respectively. The canvas resolution is calculated using the resolution of one of the width and height parameters together with the aspect ratio of the screen. Enter the known value of one of the parameters, based on the immersive space design drawings. The other dimension will then be automatically calculated and updated. The height and width values of each of the screens which make up the projection scene are also calculated automatically. These are displayed below the Canvas Resolution as width, height pairs and labelled **Left Resolution** , **Front Resolution** , **Right Resolution** etc. --- version: "2.0.0" language: "en" --- # Canvas UI ![image-20260414-200707.png](https://docs.igloovision.com/__attachments/a_6f85150995dfa9ba198e0d0cf176c72c402a5c8c773e69bd54697d14019de510/image-20260414-200707.png?cb=8921f25bf4b81179b387d8e95bb24d5c) The tutorials in this section are all based on using the Igloo Core Engine canvas user interface. * [Canvas UI - The Canvas User Interface](https://docs.igloovision.com/documentation/current/canvas-ui-the-canvas-user-interface.md) * [Canvas UI - Layers and Sessions](https://docs.igloovision.com/documentation/current/canvas-ui-layers-and-sessions.md) * [Canvas UI - Launching Sessions from the Homescreen](https://docs.igloovision.com/documentation/current/canvas-ui-launching-sessions-from-the-homescreen.md) * [Canvas UI - Viewing YouTube 360 Movies](https://docs.igloovision.com/documentation/current/canvas-ui-viewing-youtube-360-movies.md) * [Canvas UI - Video Conferencing](https://docs.igloovision.com/documentation/current/canvas-ui-video-conferencing.md) * [Canvas UI - Viewing PDF Documents](https://docs.igloovision.com/documentation/current/canvas-ui-viewing-pdf-documents.md) * [Canvas UI - Designing Dashboards](https://docs.igloovision.com/documentation/current/canvas-ui-designing-dashboards.md) * [Canvas UI - Exploring Google Street View](https://docs.igloovision.com/documentation/current/canvas-ui-exploring-google-street-view.md) * [Canvas UI - Using the Matterport App](https://docs.igloovision.com/documentation/current/canvas-ui-using-the-matterport-app.md) * [Canvas UI - Canvas Sharing (Video Conferencing)](https://docs.igloovision.com/documentation/current/canvas-ui-canvas-sharing-video-conferencing.md) * [Canvas UI - Content Bank Control](https://docs.igloovision.com/documentation/current/canvas-ui-content-bank-control.md) * [Canvas UI - Additional Tutorial Videos](https://docs.igloovision.com/documentation/current/canvas-ui-additional-tutorial-videos.md) * [Canvas UI - Annotation](https://docs.igloovision.com/documentation/current/canvas-ui-annotation.md) --- version: "2.0.0" language: "en" --- # Canvas UI - Additional Tutorial Videos **Creating Office Dashboards** [Creating Office Dashboards.mp4](https://docs.igloovision.com/__attachments/a_c0928e839349292bfa8ca52f96ae7fdd79b87e4ffa32eb9f57bfc0a2af0a6134/Creating%2520Office%2520Dashboards.mp4.md) Creating Office Dashboards **Using Powerpoint** [Using Powerpoint.mp4](https://docs.igloovision.com/__attachments/a_bb48c07d8645142859409f95069d289625cce5c5797f45853986009041ddbdbc/Using%2520Powerpoint.mp4.md) Using Powerpoint --- version: "2.0.0" language: "en" --- # Canvas UI - Annotation The Igloo Core Engine Annotation system provides a way to annotate directly on the Igloo Core Engine Canvas. It can be accessed from the canvas toolbar. ## Accessing Annotation System **To Show/Hide Annotations** : On the canvas toolbar, click the **Annotation Button**. This action toggles the visibility of the annotation system on the canvas. ![image-20240109-093416.png](https://docs.igloovision.com/__attachments/a_9ae8e183e7d0157d1d0ee0634c65f03142485eba401fcc4618ed5c0503b838e7/image-20240109-093416.png?cb=9564c01e3a2e30886995a9e4cbdcf025) ### Available Annotation Tools The following tools are available in the annotation system: 1. **Pen:** For freehand drawing and writing on the canvas. 2. **Text:** To add text annotations. 3. **Shapes:** Insert various geometric shapes. 4. **Lines:** Draw straight lines. 5. **Undo:** Reverse the last action. 6. **Redo:** Reapply an action that was undone. ![image-20240109-093636.png](https://docs.igloovision.com/__attachments/a_af4bd2f6707af43c5b841c2681141c920fcfc618d2bbf49307a92db3c0ed052f/image-20240109-093636.png?cb=a62adcae38df8860bf3a3372f5018d1c) ### Important Notes * **Going Home:** Navigating to the home screen in Igloo Core Engine will clear any current annotations. * **New Session:** Loading a new session will also clear existing annotations. ### Configuration The annotation tool can be tailored to specific preferences. This customisation is achieved by modifying the `config.json` file located in `C:\\igloo\\igloo-core-service`. Below is a guide on how to configure these settings. #### Accessing the Configuration File 1. **Locate the File:** Navigate to `C:\\igloo\\igloo-core-service` on your system. 2. **Open** `config.json` #### Customization Options The `annotation` section of the `config.json` file contains several parameters that you can customize: * `"defaultColour"`: Sets the default colour for the pen and shapes. For example, `"white"` sets the default color to white. You can change this to any valid color name or hexadecimal colour code e.g. "#ff0000" for red. * `"defaultFontSize"`: Adjusts the default font size for text annotations. * `"defaultStrokeWidth"`: Defines the default stroke width for the pen and shapes. * **Position Settings:** These settings define the positions of various elements in the annotation interface. Each position is determined by `x` (horizontal) and `y` (vertical) coordinates: * `"eraserMenuPos"`: Position of the eraser menu. * `"sidebarPos"`: Position of the sidebar. * `"toolMenuPos"`: Position of the tool menu. * `"clearAllPos"`: Position of the 'Clear All' option. For example, `"x": 0, "y": 0` places the element at the top-left corner of the canvas and `"x": 50, "y": 50` places the element in the middle of the canvas top-left aligned. #### Applying Changes 1. **Edit the Values:** Change the values in the `annotation` section as per your requirements. 2. **Save the File:** After making the changes, save the `config.json` file. 3. **Refresh the annotation page** --- version: "2.0.0" language: "en" --- # Canvas UI - Canvas Sharing (Video Conferencing) The Igloo Core Engine Canvas can be shared using the NDI protocol [NDI.tv \| Your Official Destination for All Things NDI®](https://www.ndi.tv/) This feature is particularly useful when using Igloo Core Engine in a Video Conferencing setting, as it allows a region of the Canvas to be shared back to the call. ## Enabling Share From the Canvas Toolbar, click the Canvas Share toggle button. ![canvas_share.png](https://docs.igloovision.com/__attachments/a_2039a9202b425ffa37e2cf2877ee30e6d2a2501919e1ea477f631faff3dca11d/canvas_share.png?cb=63be98f824699fcf532ba99617299019) * Start/Stop Sharing Creates or deletes the NDI sender. * Show/Hide area Controls whether the Canvas Share widget is visible on the canvas. The area is shown by a bounding red rectangle and a green/red circle indicator in the top-left for indicating if the sharing is currently started or stopped. * Edit Controls The remaining icons provide methods to draw and manipulate the sharing area of the canvas.

These are known as **dashboards** and can give an at-a-glance view of the status of a complex design, project or system. This tutorial uses the **Layouts** feature of Igloo Core Engine for defining regions on the canvas. Layouts can be created and modified using the Desktop UI. **Tutorial Video** [5. Viewing Dashboards.mp4](https://docs.igloovision.com/__attachments/a_d9bb703ec7e6f1006217e6a1f29b48eb8757def2298350c083f481def7ef3481/5.%2520Viewing%2520Dashboards.mp4.md) Designing Dashboards **Creating a Simple Dashboard** This section will describe creating a simple dashboard consisting of 4 WebViews pointing to news channels. Press the Add Content button and select New \> WebView. Repeat this 3 more times so that you have 4 WebViews. For one of the WebViews, set the URL to . ![dashboard1.png](https://docs.igloovision.com/__attachments/a_b45d82b44107b23390fe7faafb174486dadfe84e05a2952fd264f53ec3e8168e/dashboard1.png?cb=b9bdbd1636783ecb68d08cbce2bf818e) In the **Layers action menu** on the Canvas Toolbar, set the BBC News layer to**Region 1** in the **Default Layout**. This will move the layer to a specific area of the Canvas. ![dashboard2.png](https://docs.igloovision.com/__attachments/a_e5ee6441fd88e110932c15a8f3cf326dd18068d16a271d5d140c4791e3a2f10b/dashboard2.png?cb=63ba46d28c76815094e79d57bf69e937) Next, select **Maximise** from the **Geometry** menu. This will resize the WebView so that it fills the region it is contained in. Set the URLs of the other WebViews to the following: Set the WebViews to **Region 2** , **Region 3** and **Region 4** of the **Default Layout** and **Maximise** each one. This will give a WebView dashboard which fills the entire canvas. ![dashboard3.png](https://docs.igloovision.com/__attachments/a_87dbb58aa6f534dee6fd35197ef7a6f7941722577d04e97c881501d6222697a2/dashboard3.png?cb=e19d8f0572cf24a045f3a36706bcd8b1) News Dashboard consisting of 4 WebViews Once completed, save all the WebViews into a single session, called 'News Dashboard'.

This can be used to display groups of tiles for quick and easy launching of sessions. This tutorial requires a Home layer to have been built using the Desktop UI. See [Desktop UI - Building a Homescreen, part 1](https://docs.igloovision.com/documentation/current/desktop-ui-building-a-homescreen-part-1.md) **Tutorial Video** [9 Launching and saving sessions.mp4](https://docs.igloovision.com/__attachments/a_1ec2d1adfe09412c8b97105a17ab28ef8f4e6a777e336c4ed2de826104da581f/9%2520Launching%2520and%2520saving%2520sessions.mp4.md) Launching Sessions from the Homescreen **Launching a Session** Move the mouse pointer over one of the tiles and click. This will load the session and hide the Home layer. ![home1.png](https://docs.igloovision.com/__attachments/a_73a6a07821023fde34df98a0d6261103ebf365ab6d60e8fe4f90b2e1bf7b32e6/home1.png?cb=7e4879a43d99bc3833aa1f2e3678c4ee) Example Home Layer **Returning to the Home Layer** ![homebutton.png](https://docs.igloovision.com/__attachments/a_301937fdd562a82fd79fcf099a368ecd2042a71e67a8b768537df2099060a43a/homebutton.png?cb=65b427904c36218c814d1548ff07d598) Click the Home icon on the Canvas Toolbar. This will remove all unpinned layers and show the Home layer. It also brings the Home layer to the front, i.e. on top of all the other layers. ![homescreen2.gif](https://docs.igloovision.com/__attachments/a_1b0023b8bee3c0f51a572915a01e13cb513d51dbd3f1c73f7526644b4ee1832b/homescreen2.gif) Launching sessions from Homescreen tiles **Recent Sessions** If your Home layer includes a grid with fill type **Recent**, it displays the most recently created sessions (with a defined limit such as 10). The most recent session is shown in the top-left of the grid. **New session** Your Home layer may include a single large tile with the label **'Start a new session'**. This will hide the Home layer and the Canvas Toolbar, together with any pinned layers, will be visible. If you save a new session then it will appear in the Recent sessions grid. TIP: Any sessions not displayed on the Home layer can be selected from the Content Library dialog (accessed from the Canvas Toolbar, Add Content \> Load).

The layer is now a pinned layer and this stops it from being removed when the Home button is pressed or a new session is started. A button is dynamically added to the Canvas Toolbar for each pinned layer. The button acts as toggle to either **Show** the layer and **Bring to Front** or **Hide** the layer and **Send to Back**. Try pressing the toggle button to show and hide the layer. ![pinnedlayerbutton.png](https://docs.igloovision.com/__attachments/a_6fcb7c2b67856dc02044bf99839f1be1583285489cf412bcbf9b93801c48e0ab/pinnedlayerbutton.png?cb=5c7c8c1959bf73b1109e5f908fd3c663) Canvas Toolbar with pinned layer button highlighted (red square) **Removing Layers** ![unpinlayer.png](https://docs.igloovision.com/__attachments/a_75ddbfb75d7add0d017a5f834ce3dc48c067698eaccbce5f4f7b0c14a503df4d/unpinlayer.png?cb=b8d53dacfcf71aad3e7e10d90f6c21e4) On the Canvas Toolbar, select the layer from the Layers dropdown and then select **Unpin layer**. Note how the toggle button disappears from the Canvas Toolbar. Next, select the **Delete layer** item from the layer actions menu. This removes the layer from the canvas and also from the layers dropdown menu. **Adding Layers** ![image-20230418-150606.png](https://docs.igloovision.com/__attachments/a_9e46ee7f3d996fb6311e713133fd5dd96b93909eef4139f9fbafc3bbe9daf1b6/image-20230418-150606.png?cb=c8043549ddc4538910e0d40bdccc13c2) Press the **Add Content** button and select **Web \> New**. This will create a new WebView layer on the canvas and in the layer list. Modify the URL by clicking in the WebView toolbar and typing in a new URL e.g. `http://www.youtube.com`. ![youtube_layer.png](https://docs.igloovision.com/__attachments/a_49182850cd62a3b6758a2d68cf9ec2f1ac265b7bf05ae7c1bd0a13d37557266c/youtube_layer.png?cb=4c0279462f561d36e243c583c67a3018) New WebView Layer set to YouTube URL **Settings** ![ui_settings.png](https://docs.igloovision.com/__attachments/a_dd53dd69e5fe2b647bec5d64373c8df1b8b818a50df4ab76fb6e3a65f29bb1eb/ui_settings.png?cb=b9e72d9c6cd76b00acd0aba17ab5ccaa) Press the **Settings** button to access controls for the master volume, cursor size, cursor sensitivity. There are also controls for sharing the canvas and these are described in a later section: [Canvas UI - Canvas Sharing (Video Conferencing)](https://docs.igloovision.com/documentation/current/canvas-ui-canvas-sharing-video-conferencing.md) Play a YouTube movie and adjust the volume using the slider. Press the mute button to silence the audio. Click on the '+' button for Cursor size and see how the mouse cursor size increases with each click. The Cursor sensitivity setting determines how quickly the cursor moves across the canvas. The larger the sensitivity value - the further the cursor moves. **Saving Sessions** ![savesession.png](https://docs.igloovision.com/__attachments/a_b28295b90177aeefa1fa6fc54b4a8e16d3a6462359e1dcb516397ec12622ae2b/savesession.png?cb=1abc62d425b4f11e600569497662586d) Press the **'...'** button on the Canvas Toolbar and then select **Save session as**. ![save_session.png](https://docs.igloovision.com/__attachments/a_244f34ab8b059089b6463de50eb25933e233b7a4d3c7fde104c1feaf975cd810/save_session.png?cb=d0df0b46e17d2c303e6c895cdc0d2c68) Enter the name YouTube for the session name. You will be able to reload the layer at a later date by selecting this session. *(If a session with same name already exists, a dialog box will be displayed with suitable options.)* Next select **New session** from the same menu. This will remove all unpinned layers and the Canvas Toolbar will still be accessible on the canvas. **Loading Sessions** Press the **Add Content** button and select **Content Library**. The Content Library dialog will be displayed. The list of sessions are shown in a table. Click on the table headings to reorder the table. ![contentlibrary.png](https://docs.igloovision.com/__attachments/a_c58b85a55b69601b526d3a9f39fa92e97922d22c502616032ac2a8a789e45049/contentlibrary.png?cb=b589d63ebaf46cecec498a79c99b5bf2) Finding a session using the search field in the Content Library Find the YouTube session and select it.

This is called the Canvas UI because it works directly on the Igloo canvas. This UI is designed to be simpler and easier to use, with less functionality than the Desktop UI but enough to enable the most commonly used features. The following tutorials assume that you are able to interact with the Canvas using the Casting feature of Igloo Control Panel or by using the mouse in the Canvas preview tab of the Desktop UI.

By configuring this setting, you can create a shortcut that launches the Igloo Core Engine with the desktop interface visible (i.e., setting `alwaysOnTop=0`). **Format** : `alwaysOnTop=` **Example** : `alwaysOnTop=0` ### Safe Mode **Description** : This setting launches Igloo Core Engine in the following state * No startup workspace is loaded. * Triggers and Actions is disabled **Format** : `safeMode=` **Example** : `safeMode=1` --- version: "2.0.0" language: "en" --- # Command Line Options `IglooSetup.exe` supports command-line arguments that allow for automatic exporting of project data without user interaction. *** ** * ** *** ## **Usage** `IglooSetup.exe [Project to load] -doAutoExport -autoExportOutputPath [Export path] ` *** ** * ** *** ### **Arguments** #### `[Project to load]` *(Optional for auto export)* The full path and filename of the IglooSetup project to load. * Required when launching the application by double-clicking a project file. * Optional when using `-doAutoExport`. If not specified, the **startup project** defined in the application settings will be used. #### `-doAutoExport` Initiates an **automatic export** of the loaded project and **automatically exits** the application once complete. * If any errors occur during export, they are written to a **log file** for review. * Use this flag to automate project exports in scripts or scheduled tasks. #### `-autoExportOutputPath [Export path]` *(Optional)* Specifies a custom **output directory** for the exported data. * If omitted, the project's default export path is used. *** ** * ** *** ### **Example** `IglooSetup.exe "C:\Projects\MySetup.igloosetup" -doAutoExport -autoExportOutputPath "D:\Exports\MySetupExport" ` This command loads the specified project, performs an auto export to the defined directory, and closes the application when finished. --- version: "2.0.0" language: "en" --- # Common Issues ## Startup Issues ### Update Nvidia Drivers Outdated or incompatible Nvidia drivers can lead to issues, ensure that drivers are up-to-date: Steps to Update Nvidia Drivers 1. Visit the [Nvidia website](https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx) and enter your GPU details. 2. Download and install the latest driver package. 3. Reboot the system after installation. ### Install Missing Redistributables If the application fails to start or displays missing DLL errors, this is often due to missing Visual C++ Redistributables. The Igloo Core Engine Installer should install these automatically. The following are required * Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributables (x86 and x64) * Visual C++ 2013 (x86 and x64) * Visual C++ 2010 (x86 and x64) Steps to Install Redistributables: 1. Download Redistributables: Download the appropriate version from the official [Microsoft Download Center](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-160). 2. Install Both x86 and x64 Versions: Install both the 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x64) versions to ensure compatibility with different components. 3. Reboot the System after the installation is complete. *** ** * ** *** ## Blank WebViews If WebViews appear blank or Canvas layers don't load correctly, this could be a GPU configuration issue in systems with dual GPUs ### Laptops with Intel + Nvidia GPUs Steps to Correct GPU Settings: 1. Open Nvidia Control Panel: Right-click on the desktop and select "Nvidia Control Panel." 2. Manage 3D Settings: Go to "Manage 3D settings" \> "Program Settings." 3. Select Igloo Core Engine Executable: Find or add the Igloo Core Engine executable to the list. 4. Preferred Graphics Processor: Set the preferred graphics processor to High-performance Nvidia GPU. 5. OpenGL Rendering GPU: Ensure the primary GPU is selected for OpenGL rendering. 6. Connect the Console to Primary GPU: Make sure the console display is connected to the primary GPU to avoid rendering issues. ### Machines with Dual Nvidia GPU's * **Verify GPU Settings for Igloo Core Engine:** Ensure that the GPU assigned to the Igloo Core Engine profile in the Nvidia Control Panel matches the GPU selected in Windows Graphics settings. Mismatched GPU settings can cause rendering issues, such as the OpenGL and DirectX contexts being created on different GPUs, which can lead to blank WebViews. * **Set GPU Preference to Auto-Select:** In the Nvidia Control Panel, set the GPU preference for Igloo Core Engine to "Auto-select." This will ensure that the GPU connected to the primary display is used for creating the OpenGL context. If Windows Graphics settings are using default settings (no custom profile), this configuration should resolve any rendering issues. * **Manual GPU Assignment:** If you prefer to manually assign a specific GPU for the Igloo Core Engine in the Nvidia Control Panel, ensure that Windows Graphics settings also use the same GPU. Both OpenGL and DirectX contexts must be created on the same GPU to prevent rendering issues. *** ** * ** *** ## Media Loading Delay on Network Drives If you are using media files stored on network locations (UNC paths), you might notice that the application sometimes hangs or takes longer than expected to load your media list. This can happen when you open the Load Content window, switch to the Select Media Files tab, and click the Sync button. ### What's Happening * **Network Latency:** When the application checks for media files on a network drive (for example, paths like `\\Server\Share\...`), slow or unresponsive network conditions can cause delays. This check may take over 20 seconds if the network drive is not responding promptly. * **Temporary Hang:** During this time, the user interface may appear frozen. This is because the system is waiting for a response from the network drive before continuing. #### What You Can Do * **Check the Logs:** Detailed log files are generated during these operations. If you experience a hang, please review the logs for entries related to file or drive checks. These logs will provide information on how long the check took. * **Network Drive Conditions:** Ensure that your network drive is online and accessible. If possible, verify that there are no network issues causing delays. This delay is known behavior when working with UNC network paths, and monitoring the logs is the best way to understand what's causing the delay. --- version: "2.0.0" language: "en" --- # Composition A **Composition** groups multiple sources (called **sub-layers**) into a single layer. This is useful when you want to manage several items as one unit (move/scale/enable/effects together), while still being able to edit each source independently. *** ** * ** *** ## Setup ### Add a Composition layer Create a new **Composition** from the **Add Layer** menu (or File \> New \> Layer). ### Composition resolution By default, a new composition uses the **Workspace Canvas resolution** . You can change the composition resolution if needed (for example, if you want a lower-resolution composite for performance, or a fixed resolution such a compositing cubemap faces) ![image-20260220-151807.png](https://docs.igloovision.com/__attachments/a_754d4ee1115dcc847c5df4429eb1a7622eabb8ce53e01a4adf246bd1bbb865b9/image-20260220-151807.png?cb=f297d43134e321f4e5b2144763765514) *** ** * ** *** ## Managing sub-layers (sources) Sub-layers are managed from the **Sublayers** list. ### Add a sub-layer Select **Add Sublayer (+)**: * **New**: create a new source inside the composition * **Load**: add an existing source from the library ### Remove a sub-layer Right-click a sub-layer in the list and select **Remove** . This removes it from the composition (it does not delete the original item from your library). ### Edit a sub-layer Right-click a sub-layer and select **Edit**. When editing, you'll "enter" the sub-layer and the UI will update to show: * A **breadcrumb trail** at the top (shows where you are: *Composition / Sub-layer*) * The **Layer settings panel** for the selected sub-layer (so you can change its URL, resolution, sender, playback settings, etc.) To stop editing the sub-layer and return to the composition, use the **breadcrumb** to go back to **Composition**. ![image-20260220-151840.png](https://docs.igloovision.com/__attachments/a_4ce94e65c50c0c5b4bb16573176582df90f74851baac65c89686c85d4fffec0c/image-20260220-151840.png?cb=4326161c90303ca9b04a781aace1751e) --- version: "2.0.0" language: "en" --- # Configuration Most of the Igloo Core Service's settings are managed in the `config.json` file in its install directory. This is validated when the service is run, so there won't ever be unused or extra options present in this file. This means that if something is missing, it isn't supported by the version of the service that you have installed. Settings files from the `igloo-cast-sources` service can be automatically migrated to this format when installing the Igloo Core Service. *** ** * ** *** ## config.json This section is arranged according to the keys present in `config.json`. It'll probably make more sense if you're looking at a copy of the file; the default is shown at the bottom of this page. Most settings don't require the service to be restarted for them to take effect; you'll generally just need to refresh the browser page that the setting will have an effect on.
