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.

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:
Follow the instructions for the calibration as usual Guide on the calibration steps
| Option | Method | Parameter examples | Screenshot |
|---|---|---|---|
Finally, when the calibration is finished you will unlock the button “Activate” which applies the warping and blending to the GPU.
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
