LoupeDeck Integration

The LoupeDeck device integration allows a user do adjust the Viz Engine Precision Keyer using the hardware dials and touch buttons. It also allows you to adjust the values of any transformation action allowing for quick size/position/rotation changes of scene elements in addition to the ability to interact with the Precision Keyer action.

Installation

To use the LoupeDeck integration, download the LoupeDeck software from here. The software does not necessarily need to be installed on the same machine as Viz Arc.

Configuration

A configuration file ArcSettings.json can be found under C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Loupedeck\PluginData\VizArc where user is the logged on user account name.

The file contains the hostname and the port (for example, localhost:5004) of the running Viz Arc In-App Web API, and it can be configured under the Communication section of the settings.

Note: A restart of the LoupeDeck software is required after every change to the configuration.
