Igloo Warper

1.19.x

Function:

Igloo Warper is an application that provides a canvas for the playback of images, videos and a variety of other content types. Igloo Warper also Warps and Blends the output, fitting the canvas to any shaped screen, geometrically correcting the warped image, and allowing for multiple projectors to be seamlessly blended together if there’s an overlap in projection.

The User Interface:

Note

Many items in the user interface can cause dramatic changes to the canvas. It’s advisable to make a backup of the IglooWarper folder at %localappdata%\IglooWarper “%ProgramData%\Igloo Vision\IglooWarper” as shown below

Settings that may dramatically change the operation of the Igloo will be marked in these boxes and it’s advised these settings are not changed without consultation from the Igloo support team

...

The file dropdown has a single item, save, which automatically saves all warper settings when hovered over with a mouse:

...

Config:

The config dropdown has a few items; Controller, High Performance Warping, Timing, Audio, Window, and Communication.

...

Note

Changing the input and output ports can disrupt the communication flow of the entire Igloo software suite. Changing these without consulting the Igloo support team is not advised.

Blending:

...

Overlaps: Defines the percentage of the content that is repeated at the given edge of the screen

...

Rotation degrees: Specific to circular or semicircular warping, rotates the entire mesh clockwise against the defined rotation amount.

Warping:

Replicates the warping tab from touchosc. See the Warping page for more information

...

View:

Change settings specific to how the canvas is viewed

...

Wrap rate: Continuously rotates the entire canvas clockwise. Speed of the rotation increases as the value does

Layers:

Allows settings to be applied to any input on a given layer, and allows the order of the layers to be defined.

...

Layouts and regions are set on an input by input basis.

Media Folders:

Allows the definition of folders that images and videos are stored

Media Files:

Shows a list of all available images and videos that a user can click on to play.

Note

When media is played this way it will retain any clip-based settings applied to the previously played clip. Clips must be played through Igloo Control in order to use settings exclusive to that file

Play:

Contains playback controls such as Play, pause, stop, etc. Also here, the startup behaviour can be set to play a movie immediately when Igloo Warper opens.

...

Auto Canvas Average Colour: Takes an average of all the colours from the content and sets that as the movie background colour

Output:

Allows the sharing of the Warper Canvas over Spout and NDI. Allows the creation of screenshots and .mov files from the Warper canvas.
