nDisplay Root Actor Reference

Viewport Screen Percentage Multiplier

This parameter defines the resolution for the viewport. 1.0 means full resolution.

In complex and large clustered rendering setups, we recommend lowering this value to improve the Editor's frame rate during preview. Lowering the value lowers the resolution of what's displayed.

Viewport Screen Percentage

Dropdown section that shows all viewports in the nDisplay cluster. Set the Viewport screen percentage per viewport. The Viewport Screen Percentage Multiplier is combined with the per-viewport screen percentage setting to determine the resolution.

This is especially useful for viewports that are used only for lighting during in-camera VFX shoots. You will typically want to lower the resolution for the ceiling displays, unless you need high quality reflections from them in your scene.

Viewport Overscan

With Viewport Overscan enabled, the Engine will render a larger frame than specified for the viewport, to achieve continuity across displays when using post-processing effects. See Overscan Support for more details on what is supported with overscan in nDisplay.

Expand the dropdown to show all viewports in the nDisplay cluster, and change overscan settings per viewport. See Viewport Overscan Settings Per Viewport below for the per-viewport options.

Content Hidden from Entire Cluster

Content added to the arrays here will not show up on any display in the cluster, and will not appear in the inner frustum if it's enabled. Content can be added by specifying Layers , or Actors individually.

This is useful for cases when you need an Actor in your project but don't want it displayed through nDisplay. For example, if you're using an Actor for tracking during an in-camera VFX shoot and don't want it displayed but need it for compositing with Composure.

Content Hidden from Viewports

Content added to the arrays here will not show up on the outer frustum, but will appear in the inner frustum if it's enabled. Content can be added by specifying Layers , or Actors individually.

Mode

Enable or disable overscan for the viewport by selecting the desired mode. Options include:

• Disabled

• Enabled: Pixels Values

• Enabled: Percent Values

Adapt Resolution

When enabled, the resolution of the rendering output increases based on the settings below.

When disabled, the rendering output is scaled from the original resolution of the viewport to reach the size in the settings below.

This option is enabled by default.

Left

If overscan is enabled, increases the resolution for the left side of the render by this amount. Units are in pixels or percent, depending on which Mode is selected.

Right

If overscan is enabled, increases the resolution for the right side of the render by this amount. Units are in pixels or percent, depending on which Mode is selected.

Top

If overscan is enabled, increases the resolution for the top of the render by this amount. Units are in pixels or percent, depending on which Mode is selected.

Bottom

If overscan is enabled, increases the resolution for the bottom of the render by this amount. Units are in pixels or percent, depending on which Mode is selected.

Enable Inner Frustum

Enable this option if you want to use the inner frustum with your nDisplay setup. Disabling this option overrides the inner frustum settings on the individual ICVFX cameras.

When you have multiple cameras, disabling this option disables the inner frustum for all of them.

Inner Frustum Visible in Viewports

Dropdown section that shows all viewports in the nDisplay cluster and the option to render the inner frustum on the viewport.

Disable this option if you don't want the inner frustum to appear in the viewport. This can be particularly useful when you don't want the inner frustum to appear on the ceiling during in-camera VFX shoots, and potentially change the lighting and reflections on the set.

Inner Frustum Priority

This list determines which camera's inner frustum is rendered on top, when you have multiple ICVFX cameras and their inner frustums overlap on the display. The priority is determined by the order of the list, with the first camera as the highest priority.

Enable Entire Cluster Color Grading

When enabled, applies the color grading settings from the Entire Cluster section to all the nDisplay viewports and inner frustums.

The color grading is only applied to nDisplay renders. It will not change the color of the project in the Editor, or the renders from Movie Render Queue .

Color Grading

Expand the section to view the color grading options. See Color Correction for details on the color grading options exposed.

Enable Viewport Color Grading

When enabled, applies the color grading settings from the Color Grading section to all viewports defined in Apply Color Grading to Viewports .

The color grading is not applied to inner frustums that appear on the nodes, if they're enabled. To apply color grading only to an inner frustum, see the Color Grading section of the ICVFX Camera settings.

Include Entire Cluster Color Grading

When enabled, applies the color grading settings defined in Entire Cluster before applying the settings defined in the Color Grading section to the specific viewport.

When disabled, the color grading settings defined in Entire Cluster will not be applied to the viewport. The settings defined in Color Grading will still be applied to the viewport if Enable Viewport Color Grading is enabled.

Color Grading

Expand the section to view the color grading options. See Color Correction for details on the color grading options exposed.

Apply Color Grading to Viewports

The color grading settings can be applied to multiple viewports. Add an Array element for each viewport to which you want to apply these color grading settings.

The list of viewports shown in the dropdown is the same as the list defined in the nDisplay Config Asset.

Enable Viewport OCIO

When enabled, applies the OCIO configuration to all nDisplay viewports.

The configuration is not applied to inner frustums that appear on the nodes, if they're enabled. To apply an OCIO configuration only to an inner frustum, see the OCIO section of the ICVFX Camera Component settings.

The OpenColorIO configuration set here is only applied to nDisplay renders. It will not change the color of the project in the Editor, or the renders from Movie Render Queue .

If you already have an OCIO configuration applied to your project, this will override those settings on the nDisplay viewports.

All Viewports Color Configuration

Expand this section to set the Configuration Source , Source Color Space , and Destination Color Space . See Color Management with OpenColorIO for more details on using OpenColorIO in your project.

Per-Viewport OCIO Overrides

You can apply OCIO settings to an individual viewport or groups of viewports. Add an Array element and modify the settings described in Per-Viewport Array Elements to apply color grading to specific viewports.

Enable Per-Viewport OCIO

When enabled, applies the OCIO configuration from the Viewport OCIO section to all viewports defined in Apply OCIO to Viewports .

If you already have an OCIO configuration applied to your project or all your nDisplay viewports, this will override those settings on the nDisplay viewports defined in Apply OCIO to Viewports .

The configuration is not applied to inner frustums that appear on the nodes, if they're enabled. To apply OCIO configurations only to an inner frustum, see the OCIO section of the ICVFX Camera Component settings.

Viewport OCIO

Expand this section to set the Configuration Source , Source Color Space , and Destination Color Space . See Color Management with OpenColorIO for more details on using OpenColorIO in your project.

Apply OCIO to Viewports

The OCIO settings can be applied to multiple viewports. Add an Array element for each viewport to which you want to apply these OCIO settings.

The list of viewports shown in the dropdown is the same as the list defined in the nDisplay Config Asset.

Enable Light Cards

When enabled, all Light Cards defined in Light Cards Content will be displayed in the nDisplay viewports.

Blending Mode

There are two modes for how Light Cards are rendered when the inner frustum overlaps them:

• Lightcard Over Frustum: The Light Card renders on top of the inner frustum when they overlap.

• Lightcard Under Frustum: The Light Card is hidden by the inner frustum when they overlap.

Light Cards Content

Light Cards can be added by specifying Layers , or Actors individually.

Enable Editor Preview

When enabled, a preview of the Unreal Project appears on the nDisplay Root Actor's meshes in the Level Viewport. The Color Management options and other settings defined in the nDispay Root Actor will appear in the preview.

This option is enabled by default. We recommend disabling this option when you're not previewing in the Level Viewport and need to improve performance.

Preview Node

This parameter defines which nodes you want to preview in the Level Viewport. Options are None , All , or specific Cluster Nodes in your nDisplay cluster.

Render Mode

This parameter defines the Render Mode for the nDisplay cluster preview. Options include:

• Mono

• Stereo: Side By Side

• Stereo: Top Bottom

See Stereoscoping Rendering in nDisplay for more details on the options.

Tick Per Frame

This parameter defines the time interval between updates for the preview in the Editor.

Preview Screen Percentage

This parameter defines the value by which the preview texture's resolution is scaled.

Enable Inner Frustum

When enabled, shows the inner frustum from this ICVFX camera in the nDisplay cluster.

Cine Camera Actor

When you assign a Cine Camera Actor to this parameter, that camera is used to render the inner frustum instead of the default nDisplay camera.

Inner Frustum Screen Percentage

This parameter defines the percent multiplier for the resolution of the inner frustum. 1.0 is the same as full resolution.

Field Of View Multiplier

This parameter defines what value is used to scale the inner frustum from its original size.

A multiplier greater than (>) 1 will expand the inner frustum. A multiplier less than (<) 1 will shrink the inner frustum.

Soft Edge

These parameters define how much of the edges are feathered. You can set the Top and Bottom , and the Sides of the edges separately.

It can be useful to feather the inner frustum's edges so its hard line doesn't appear in a reflection during an in-camera VFX shot.

Inner Frustum Rotation

This rotation offset is applied to the inner frustum.

Inner Frustum Offset

This translation offset is applied to the inner frustum.

Mipmapping

When the inner frustum is smaller, in terms of LED wall pixels, than the resolution you configure nDisplay to render, mipmaps can be generated to create a nicer small inner frustum. Generating mipmaps for the inner frustum might affect performance slightly.

To use mipmapping on your inner frustum, enable Auto Generate Mips . You can choose which mips sampler filter to use:

• Nearest

• Bi-linear

• Tri-linear

• Default (from Texture Group)

Auto Generate Mips and the Tri-linear sampler filter are selected by default for the ICVFX camera.

Camera Motion Blur

See Camera Motion Blur for more.

Content Hidden from Inner Frustum

Any Actors added here will not display in the inner frustum. Content can be added by specifying Layers , or Actors individually.

Motion Blur Mode

Specify the motion blur mode for the inner frustum and how it corrects for the motion of the camera. Blur due to camera motion will be incorrectly doubled in the physically exposed image if there is already camera blur applied to the inner frustum.

There are three modes:

• ICVFX Camera Blur Off: Subtracts blur due to motion of the ICVFX camera relative to the nDisplay root, but preserves blur from both object motion and movement of the nDisplay root, which can be animated to represent vehicular motion through an environment.

• ICVFX Camera Blur On: Allows blur from camera motion. This option should not normally be used for camera shooting, but may be useful for diagnostic purposes.

• All Camera Blur Off: Subtracts blur due to all global motion of the ICVFX camera, but preserves blur from object motion.

ICVFX Camera Blur Off is selected by default.

Translation Scale

This parameter defines how much translation should be scaled for generating motion blur.

Enable Settings Override

If enabled, override the overall motion blur settings that would otherwise come from the current post-process volume or CineCamera.

Amount

This parameter defines the strength of the motion blur.

Max

This parameter defines the max distortion caused by motion blur, specified by screen width percentage.

Per Object Size

This parameter defines the minimum projected screen radius for a primitive to be drawn in the velocity pass. This parameter is specified in terms of screen width percentage. The smaller the number, the more draw calls there are.

The default value is 4% .

Enable Inner Frustum Chromakey

When enabled, turns the entire inner frustum the solid color set in Chromakey Color and applies Chromakey Markers if they're enabled.

This setting is typically used to apply a green screen and tracking markers to the display during an in-camera VFX shoot. Since only the inner frustum changes, the outer frustum can continue to be used for reflections while filming.

Chromakey Color

This parameter defines the color used for chroma keying.

Enable Chromakey Markers

When enabled, tracking markers are generated and applied to the inner frustum's chroma key content.

Marker Color

This parameter defines the color of the tracking marker.

Marker Tile RGBA

This parameter defines the texture used for the tracking marker. A texture with a plus icon is assigned by default.

Marker Tile Scale

This parameter defines the size of the tracking marker.

Marker Tile Distance

This parameter defines the distance between tracking markers.

Marker Tile Offset

This parameter defines an offset applied to the tracking markers' default location.

Use Custom Chromakey

When enabled, only turns the content defined in Custom Chromakey to the Chromakey Color and applies Chromakey Markers when the content appears in the inner frustum. The content is hidden in the outer frustum and will only appear in the inner frustum.

This setting is for green screen halo.

Custom Chromakey Content

Content can be added by specifying Layers , or Actors individually.

Post Process Blur

You can choose to apply a blur to the content defined in Custom Chromakey Content.

There are three modes you can set Post Process Blur to:

• None

• Gaussian

• Dilate

For Gaussian and Dilate , you can set the Kernel Radius and Scale to change the look of the effect.

Enable Viewport Texture Replacement

When enabled, replaces the inner frustum view with the texture defined in Source Texture . The texture moves with the camera.

The replacement won't be visible if the entire inner frustum is used for chroma keying.

Source Texture

The texture applied to the inner frustum when Enable Viewport Texture Replacement is checked.

Use Texture Crop

When enabled, only uses the rectangle defined in Texture Crop of the Source Texture .

Texture Crop Origin

Defines the upper left corner of the rectangle using the X and Y parameters.

Texture Crop Size

Defines the width and height of the rectangle from the starting point using the W and H parameters.
