ProjectorControl Layer

The ProjectorControl layer animates projector parameters in the stage, and in turn, those parameters can be output to real projectors.

ProjectorControl layer properties

Mapping

The projector(s) being controlled by the layer.

Presets

The preset the projector(s) get their data from.

Creating a preset

The preferred workflow is to create presets in the projector control editor, as detailed in the ProjectorControl device topic. However, this functionality can also be achieved directly through the layer if required.

  1. Open the layer.
  2. Choose which mapping (group of projectors) you wish to control using the mapping property.
  3. Left-click the presets parameter.
  4. The presets manager will open.
  5. In the New projectorpresets field enter a name for the preset. For example, position 1. Projector presets Projector presets
  6. Add the desired projectors to the preset using the + and - buttons in the preset editor.
  7. Choose values for their Pan/Tilt, Focus, Zoom, Lens Shift (V/H), Intensity, Recall and Configuration properties.

Outputting to a projector

Once your layer is animating projectors, the output to the physical projector is controlled via the ProjectorControl device.
