For large scale nDisplay setups involving clusters, each node needs some pre-requisits setup before nDisplay can function.
These include:
Setting up the nDisplay listener to run on Startup
Mapping a network drive for the content
Setting the IP address and recording it
Ensuring that firewall permissions are granted
Syncronising the displays
Testing with test content.
nDisplay Switchboard Listener
This is the easiest part of the install as we’ve automated the process.
Download this zip: nDisplay Cluster Installation Files
Extract it to the desktop of the PC.
Run the InstallClusterFiles.bat batch file (and allow administrator privilages)
Run C:/Program Files/Switchboard/switchboard_Listener.exe
The last step is optional, because once a restart is completed the listener will run automatically every time.
However, it’s helpful to do after due to it asking for firewall access on it’s first run.
Part of the setup would’ve seen the installation of the UE4/5 Prerequisits which are also a requirement for any Unreal game to function. Due to a dll being required for the switchboard listener, they have been installed as part of this setup process.
