Check out our content over at Vp Toolkit www.youtube.com/@vptoolkit lots of updated content similar to this!

Totally possible! Just there is a ton of different ways you could do it and some would be more performant then others.

Thanks for the Feedback! Make sure to check out our new videos on the @vptoolkit Channel

Wow haven’t worked with doing it that way for years. Not going to lie, I’m not sure how to go about it with switchboard and a compiled project. If you go back to one of my much older videos I show how to use the ndisplay launcher which had the option for doing it with a compiled version of Unreal. I’d assume that there is the option to do this with switchboard but have’s ventured there myself.

Hey! Appreciate that! In theory it should be pretty much the same in the video. If you have tracking connected you might want to make sure your cine camera actor that is in the level (not the one in ndisplay window) is in the correct place. If your cine camera is somewhere else int he level due to tracking not being calibrated or it just have a transform offset then it won’t show as a preview on the ndisplay projection preview. So basically make sure you’re assigning it to a camera that is in the correct place. Take a look at “camera cameras actor 1’s transform in the details panel and make sure that it is parented to your ndisplay/stage config and then try setting all of the location to 0 to see if it snaps back. Let me know how it goes or if you’ve already figured this out!

You have to add whats the width of your first screen is in resolution to the node x offset. Go into you ndisplay config, select your node (bottom left of screen) in the details window find where you enter your screen resolution and the X input field there above you will want to put the res width from your first screen (for 4K it would be 3840) You will also want to make sure that in window display settings none of your screens have a scale offset (they should be at 100%) this is less important for the first editing screen. Also make sure your added screen is to the right and align at the top with your primary screen (if you’re following thee instructions) Using a single machine just means you have to use ALT+TAB to switch between the render and the intance of the editor.

@@ianfursa9529 thanks i will try that and let you know how I make out appreciate the response but most of all the video hoping to work with a local studio but I need to figure things out fist planning on getting a decklink duo soon as I can

@@brokecitizen4934 no problem! Let us know if we can help.

What tracking are you using? Are you using two machines or one? Did your setup work in 5.0.3? Did you save your livelink preset and set it to default in project settings?

That would be Render After DOF. It needs to be changed to “Before” in 5.0/5.1 the best way to find this variable is to search “DOF” and it’ll give you a little drop down. This needs to be done within the Master Material in most cases.

Hey thanks for commenting! Parsec definitely changes the GPU driver settings and I’ve had so many issues with it on set. Now adays mostly using Splashtop business and VNC Ultra when I’m in studio talking to other nodes. 5.1 is a tricky with Multi-user right now! It doesn’t seem to work anymore using one instance of the Project for multiple instances of Unreal. The way around this is to have two copies of the project. We cover how to setup all the Editor Node, Render Node and Files syncing for multiple node for nDisplay clusters in our Operators Training Course. You can check it out at vp-toolkit.com! Also please take a look at (and subscribe if you’d like) to the new VP Toolkit UA-cam channel. Most of the new content and tutorials will be coming out there!

Set the livelink profile in the project settings

@@TudorIrimescu Thank u so much

@@nadeemdeme Glad I could help, smashed my head against the wall with this one myself haha

@@TudorIrimescu 🤣

so I have two PCs , editor and Listner do I need two Clusters for that ? or two nodes ?

Well pressing keys to trigger events with nDisplay becomes a little complex because when you’re running multiple machines then only the one you press the key on will translate over to the nDisplay render. There might be ways around that I haven’t found yet. Basically though you can just add whatever blueprinting you want to the ndisplay config itself (it has a blueprinting section) you can add a blueprint actor to the level and put your logic in there, or you can do your blueprinting within the level blueprint that your ndisplay lives in. From there you just need to reference the ndisplay config from the level as a variable and then do with it what you will. I normally replace using key presses with touchOSC on ipad and using a basic OSC server in unreal to pick up and use the OSC command from the Ipad.

@@ianfursa9529 thank u so much and maybe we can use Web remote control to make action right ? another quistion pls how I can change Ndisplay from location to photo or video ? for example u can see Macdonalds Ad by virtual production to understand what I mean

Appreciate it Tim! 🙋🏻‍♂️

Not sure if you’ve figured this out but I’ve found switchboard listener can show a socket error and still work but if after awhile ndisplay isnt running then you should make sure you’re using the IP of the machine and not a local IP like 127.0.0.1, let me know if you’re still stuck.

@@ianfursa9529 Yes! Thank you, the switchboard listener actually wasn't on. It's only displaying inside an area the size of my laptop screen on my bigger monitor, even when I change the size in nDisplay it crops it and only shows that portion of it but at least I'm making progress.

Definitely possible! The issue comes when using such stylized lenses like these (Cooke anamorphic) and it becomes very hard to match the optics. Hence why so many people like ICVFX. Its also quite hard to get foreground objects to really look realistic for film and TV. Check out our BTS on this if you haven’t seen it yet! ua-cam.com/video/OGlZ-rgcPcw/v-deo.html

Hey! Appreciate the feedback on the video! Always doing best to fill the gaps for people. If you’d like consultation on your setup reach out on vp-toolkit.com

Hey I appreciate that! Have you seen the behind the scenes for this? ua-cam.com/video/OGlZ-rgcPcw/v-deo.html

Hey Art, you can watch our behind-the-scenes video here: ua-cam.com/video/OGlZ-rgcPcw/v-deo.html There's some coverage of the setup there. We're going to post a follow-up article on our website with as many technical details as we can muster up. We'll try to include some figures like distance, etc.

@@catalyst-vp thanks, man. i finally got the idea, that main thing is 2-sided screen. and really want to see more, i can try to make the same at home, one room is about 10x3 meters.

Its a fairly simple setup. Grey rear projection screen with two projects stacked on top of each other and then blended using a program called Scalable display manager which we are using the version that embeds the blend into our nvidia GPU’s Driver. Might be easier to start with a single projector, similar to how I have done a lot of my earlier videos.

If you haven’t figured this out yet, please check out my multiuser - ua-cam.com/video/CljfWS0rOqs/v-deo.html

👏🏻

Not sure if you’ve already figured this out but this setting is at the very bottom of the details panel of your “ICVFX Camera Component” within your nDisplay. I think its labeled “Custom Resolution”. Quick access to this via the Vp toolkit widgets will be available very soon!

Yes! Pretty much the same workflow!

Same for me, It just keep launching on my secondary screen, any solution?

@@imaiven the solution i got for that is going at my display configuration and selected which display is my principal .. and then everytime I launch ndisplay goes to my principal monitor

@@hsanch3s did you done that ???

this happened to me at first as well. I was launching StageLevel in Switchboard but when I switched to LED_Curved Stage I saw what my Camera Actor saw.
