NG360 Driver
このコンテンツはまだ日本語訳がありません。
The NG360 Driver receives automation data from NG360 encoder devices.
These devices typically provide rotational or positional encoder values that can be used to drive automation axes inside Disguise. The driver supports both standard network configuration and additional NG360-specific properties used to identify the encoder, define the serial communication port, and manage axis distribution.
Most installations operate correctly with the default configuration. Update the settings only when your NG360 device is using custom addressing or connected via a specific COM port.
Use the NG360 Driver when integrating NG360 encoder hardware that outputs precise rotational or positional data for automation workflows inside Disguise. NG360 devices are commonly used in mechanical systems, robotics, motion rigs, optical encoders, and installations requiring accurate real-time movement tracking.
This driver is especially useful when:
- Receiving continuous encoder values for driving automation axes.
- Synchronising virtual objects or content with physical rotation or motion.
- Monitoring encoder behaviour during rehearsal, calibration, or system testing.
- Differentiating between multiple NG360 devices through unique encoder addresses.
- Using serial-connected NG360 units when working without network infrastructure.
- Creating feedback-driven systems where encoder movement influences logic or scene behaviour.
- Controlling or validating mechanical movement in interactive or media-driven installations.
As NG360 devices deliver highly stable encoder readings, this driver is well suited for workflows that require precise rotation, incremental motion tracking, or synchronisation between physical hardware and virtual content.
Driver Properties
Section titled “Driver Properties”
Network Properties
Section titled “Network Properties”The UDP port on which NG360 data is received.
Modify this if your encoder system broadcasts on a non-default port.
IP Filter (optional)
Section titled “IP Filter (optional)”Limits incoming data to a specific source IP address.
Useful when multiple devices are broadcasting on the same network or to ensure data is received only from the intended encoder.
Multicast Address (optional)
Section titled “Multicast Address (optional)”The multicast group from which NG360 data is transmitted.
Set only if your system is explicitly configured for multicast routing.
NG360-Specific Properties
Section titled “NG360-Specific Properties”Encoder Address
Section titled “Encoder Address”Identifies the encoder address that this driver instance should listen to.
Use this when multiple encoders are active or when addressing is required to differentiate units on the network.
COM Port
Section titled “COM Port”Specifies the serial COM port used by the NG360 device when connected locally.
Required when the NG360 encoder communicates via USB/serial rather than over the network.
Distributor
Section titled “Distributor”Controls how incoming NG360 encoder data is routed to automation axes inside Disguise.
In most cases, the default option (None) is sufficient and passes values directly to the configured axes.
Some versions of the interface may display a Sender field, which represents the internal routing method used by the distributor.
If None is the only available option, no alternative routing modes are supported for this driver.
Use this setting only when working with advanced setups that require custom routing or value distribution.
