Desktop Embedding

A very valuable feature of VIOSO 6 is to apply the calibration to the Windows desktop. This allows any program to be run in Windows and displayed on the calibrated screen.

Popular programs for this are for example: Fullscreen Apps (Unity et al), Mediaplayer, CAD programs, Resolume etc…

Desktop Hooking requires a professional NVIDIA GPU and all outputs arranged into a Mosaic Group.

How to use desktop hooking in project mode

Create a new project with the preset: Desktop Warp”:

Only single calibrations are supported to be embedded into the Windows Desktop

Make sure that the computer node shows a proper splitted Mosaic group. The split should be detected automatically by VIOSO 6 - if not, this might indicate that something isn't properly set up and therefore will lead to issues.

In this preset, there are these main options to customize:

Option	Method	Parameter examples	Screenshot
Overlap type	Select the server node. Find on the display configuration the “Desktop Warp” button. It will open a window where you can chose the overlap type	Unchanged: leaves the windows display resolution as is Explicit: manually chose your own final resolution for the desktop Auto: will set the resolution automatically based on the overlap calculated by the calibration.
Activate parameter	Click on the node from the layout to expand its parameters	Apply On Startup; automatically activates the calibration on the GPU when VIOSO6 starts. Special API parameters: timeout values for the embedding command

4. Calibration

• Follow the instructions for the calibration as usual Guide on the calibration steps

5. Activate

• Finally, when the calibration is finished you will unlock the button “Activate” which applies the warping and blending to the GPU.
