The old panos did this automatically, but the new ones lack this functionality since it is a dynamical sphere.

But you can add a positiontrigger to make this work, here is an example using the panorama object "big_thompson_pipes_1" :

positiontrigger radius       10  # Radius of trigger sphere in local coordinates
positiontrigger innerbound   6  # Inner 
positiontrigger minvalue     0.0     # value outside or at radius distance from object center
positiontrigger maxvalue     1.0     # value inside or at innerbound distance from object center
positiontrigger event big_thompson_pipes_1_layerdata.prop.Layer0_Alpha

• big_thompson_pipes_1_layerdata is a set of properties that it creates since it is enabled to use Geoscope Tilesets. Just like WMS you can change the layer properties using this collection, but you cant refer to them by name that is why Layer0_Alpha is there. The alpha property of the first layer.
• The scale on radius and innerbound is in the scene that the object is in, in this case a unit is 10 km. It is quite simple to experiment with this.

It is possible to control Uniview from external software using the TCP protocol. This text describes how to configure Uniview to enable this functionality.

Configuration

To connect your external communication application to Uniview you first need to edit the Uniview.ini file located in the system settings folder. In the Uniview launcher, press "Show More Options...", then "Open System Settings", then "Yes". Open Uniview.ini with a text editor like notepad.

Below the [System] section, modify the ExternalServer variable to True instead of False. This will result in a listening server being launched with Uniview. You may also specify which port to use for the communication.

Example:
…
[System]
ClientCount=1
ExternalClientCount=0
ExternalServer=True
ExternalServerPort=22000
…

Save the file and press "Synchronize" in the Launcher.

Usage

Sending events to Uniview is only a matter of connecting to the server socket and sending ascii-strings. When connecting to a Uniview cluster specify the IP address of the computer which is running the server. That address can be found in the [server] section of Uniview.ini.

Examples of commands:
Earth.on;
Earth.off;
camera.flyto Moon;
camera.jumpto Earth;

Please consult the Uniview Run-time Command Syntax for a list of all available commands, it is available from your Uniview Theater help menu.

Test

To test this functionality you can download the free software Putty, which is a terminal software. Configure it to the IP and port of the Uniview server and set it to Telnet mode. When connected you can type commands which are sent to Uniview when you press enter.

Stereo is configured in the file "%allusersprofile%\SCISS\<uniview name>\System Settings\viewconfiguration.xml"

Note that stereo other than redblue requires a separate license.

viewconfiguration.xml for active stereo:

viewconfiguration.xml for passive stereo (in this case both eyes on one node. useful for 3d-TV setups and such):

viewconfiguration.xml for redblue stereo:
