  • Name: Name of the output that is displayed in the output list.

  • Host: Host address where Viz Engine runs.

  • Port: The port to connect to.

  • Control channels: Toggle between communication done via Global Shared memory map (default, typically used with Control Objects) or Scene-local Shared memory map (typically used with Control Channels).

The UDP and Scene ID fields are read only and are auto-populated on first connect.

Scene ID: Make sure the scene is loaded in Viz Artist before connecting to the Viz Engine, as the Output automatically fetches the Scene ID of the main scene. Should there be an error reported in the Scene ID field, or should you change the scene in Viz Artist after having connected to it, please temporary disable and re-enable the output to force a new scene ID fetch.

To learn more about configuring a Viz Engine to accept incoming data from Datacenter, please refer to the Configuring Output section of this manual.
