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. 

...

 Each projector IP needs to be nested in a <projector></projector> tag as the below code snippet indicates.

Code Block
<projectors>
	<projector>
		<IP>192.168.1.182</IP>
	</projector>
	<projector>
		<IP>192.168.1.183</IP>
	</projector>
</projectors>

Controlling the projectors via TouchOSC

TouchOSC contains a page in the current layouts tilted Projector. This page contains all the controls that the warper Warper can use to interact with projectors. Image Removed

The majority of the above buttons actually refer to the type and format of 3D offered by various projectors. It's optimal to use this, rather than the projector remotes to hot-swap between 2D and 3D as this will hit all the networked projectors at the same time, resulting in a smoother transition.Clicking a button here sends a message to each projector defined in the projector control xml

  1. 3D Mode Off, DLP-LINK & IR are all different 3D states that a projector can be in. In

    our

    Igloo’s standard 3D installation, the mode is IR, and in 2D, should be 3D Mode Off

  2. Frame Seq, Top/Bottom, SBS and

    Fram

    Frame Packing are different 3D Formats. Standard format for 3D video playback is SBS

  3. 3D Sync Invert Off/On determine which "eye" of a 3D piece is being shown at what time -this can correct the 3D effects looking pronounced in the wrong way

    - ie things you'd expect to pop out actually being "inside" the screen (3D is fairly hard to describe, fair play)Projector off is an easy way to turn all the projectors off!

    .

  4. Projector on & off are standby controls for the connected projectors

For Projector On to function, projectors need to be set to receive network messages while on standby. This varies from projector to projector but commonly take the form of “Eco mode” or “Network standby”

OSC messages for projector control

These can be found in the warper Warper files inside OSCProtocol.txt
