What is it?

Projector control, as a principle, allows the user to control the projectors via TouchOSC (via the control app and warper). There are a number of reasons to want to use this, such as an easy way to turn all the projectors off, to more important features such as turning the 3D on all the projectors with the click of a button

How do we make the warper do the thing?

2 files are needed to be edited here, IglooWarperMainSettings.xml and ProjectorSettings.xml, both are stored in c:\users\%username%\Appdata\Local\Igloo Vision\IglooWarper.The Warper is capable of sending messages, over a variety of protocols, to enable remote control of a group of projectors. This is typically done at set up and usually needs no reconfiguring.

Turning on Projector Control:

IglooWarperMainSettings.xml, stored in %localappdata%\"Igloo Vision"\IglooWarper, must be edited to enable projector control:

Warper main settings:

<useProjectorControl>0</useProjectorControl> indicates that projector control is off where  <useProjectorControl>1</useProjectorControl> indicates that projector control is on. Projector

The above screenshot is an example projector control file. In most cases the default settings are correct for projector communication. Consult an Igloo representative if you have trouble controlling the projectors with these settings. The projectors to control, however, do need to be defined. This is done inside the <projectors></projectors> tag. 

What can you do when projector control is enabled and nice?
