SystemID

This node provides information to identifiy machines in a Ventuz Cluster

System

Provides various information about the Ventuz instance running on the local machine:

• Designer: System runs from a Designer instance (not a Presenter instance)
• GroupID/ID: The Cluster settings as can be found in the Machine Configuration.
• MachineName: Name of the windows machine running the Ventuz instance
• ProductString: String containing the software version of the running Ventuz instance.

Channel

• ChannelProgram: Scene is loaded to the Program Channel as configured in the Audio Video Configuration.
• ProgramActive: Scene is active in the Program Channel.
• ChannelPreview: Scene is loaded to the Preview Channel as configured in the Audio Video Configuration.
• PreviewActive: Scene is active in the Program Channel .
• PipeIndex: Gives you the pipe number the scene is running on .

Cluster

• ClusterWidth: Width of the present Multimachine Setup in pixel.
• ClusterHeight: Height of the present Multimachine Setup in pixel.
• ClusterAspect: Aspect of the present Multimachine Setup.
• MachineCount: Number of machines belonging to a Multimachine Setup.
• RenderSetupMode:
  • ClusterPreview: Preview of the whole Multimachine Setup.
  • MachinePreview: Design Preview of one machine of a Multimachine Setup.
  • MachineProduction: Production output of one machine of a Multimachine Setup.
• RenderSetupName: Name of the active Multimachine Setup (file).
• AliveState:
  • Startup: At least one of the Ventuz Runtimes is in the startup process
  • Ready: All Runtimes of a Ventuz Cluster are ready
  • RuntimeMissing: At least one of the Ventuz Runtimes in a Cluster is missing
  • MachineMissing: At least one of the Machines could not be reached for a longer period of time.

Machine

• MachinePostionX: PostionX of one machine of a Multimachine Setup in pixel starting at top-left of the Cluster space.
• MachinePostionY: PostionY of one machine of a Multimachine Setup in pixel starting at top-left of the Cluster space.
• MachineWidth: Width of one machine in a Multimachine Setup in pixel.
• MachineHeight: Height of one machine in a Multimachine Setup in pixel.
• ClusterAspect: Aspect of one machine in a Multimachine Setup.

Timing

• ClusterClock: Cluster Clock frame counter which represents the elapsed time as frame index.
• Time: Cluster Clock value which represents the elapsed time in seconds.
• TimingMaster: Indicates if a machine is the clock provider for a cluster of machines.
• FrameRateNumerator: Frame-rate numerator value to calculate exact frame-rate.
• FrameRateDenominator: Frame-rate denominator value to calculate exact frame-rate.
• SecondField: Indicates whether the 1st or the 2nd video field for interlaced formats is currently processed.
  For progressive output formats it is always switching between true and false due to technical reasons.

Port

• Locked: Tells you wether the Port is open or locked.
• Layer: If the Layer flag is checked then the Port is a Layer Port (Template Layer, Scene Layer ), otherwise it is a Scene Port or Template Port.
• ManualTemplate: If the Layer flag is checked it is a either Template Port or a Template Layer .

Scene

• Identity: The identity of a scene is the actual filename of the scene used to identify a scene by Remoting. The Identity uses forward slashes as directory separator ans comes without file extension (.vzs)
• Generation: The generation counter of a scene starts from zero and is increased is saved. The Generation can be used to ensure that multiple machine have the same file generation loaded in memory.

Tracking

• TrackingSystem: Provides the currently connected Tracking System on your machine that will affect all Default and Tracked Cameras. Possible Systems are None, OpenVR, Vive, Oculus, Trackmen, NCam, MoSys and Stype.
• IsHeadMountedDevice: This flag is turned on when the used Tracking comes from a Head Mounted Device.
• IsTracking: This flag represents whether the System uses a Tracking System or not.
