Viz Engine Administrator’s Guide

• Available: Lists all available Viz World Server projects.

• Map size: Sets the default map size that will be used with the client application.

• Cache: Enables caching of maps for faster preview and fetching of maps. Especially

useful for journalists and operators using Newsroom Component and Viz Trio

respectively.

• Cache Directory: Sets the cache directory for cached maps which can be a local

drive, mapped drive or a Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path.

IMPORTANT! Make sure the Cache Directory folder is configured with read and

write access rights.

• Memory (Images): Sets the number of images to keep in memory.

• On disk (Days): Sets the number of days to save images on disk.

• 2nd Cache Directory: Enables a second cache (see Cache above). The main

purpose of the second cache is to enable redundancy in those cases where a main

cache directory is on a different computer and for some reason fails. Another use

case is to use it as a local cache to save loading time (e.g. if you load all borders for

the entire world you would have 100MB+ of cached files). To shorten load time you

can copy large static files to the correct local cache folder. In the 3D Map Setting

plugin you will also find a Sync Local Cache Folder button which will copy all the

needed files to your local cache. Note that the second cache directory settings can

only be used by Viz World version 12.0 and later.

• Priority: Sets the machine’s connection priority to the Viz World Server (Wos).

Setting a number, where 1 is the lowest and 100 is the highest you may override

connection priorities set by other machines. The configuration interface will allow

you to prioritize client connections from Viz Artist and On Air Viz Engine’s used

for preview and program output. Viz Engines must be in On Air mode for them to

be prioritized. For Viz World Map Editor you can set it from its context menu. To

enable this behavior on the server side you need to enable WoS to prioritize its

connections/logins. For more information, see the Viz World User’s Guide Server

Launcher Configuration section. If the configuration option is not visible, please read

how To add the VizWorld.ini file and set the priority.

• Network Monitor: Enables you to monitor relevant network connections (server

and cache folders). If you do not monitor the network and you try to connect

over a “disconnected network”, connecting to a server or a UNC path, it will take

time before the system reports back (e.g. 30 seconds or more). Enabling network

monitoring will avoid such connection issues. Note that the network monitor will

only monitor a cache folder that use a UNC path (not mounted/mapped drives). If

the configuration option is not visible you need To add the VizWorld.ini file.

• Languages: Sets the current language to be used on labels fetched from Viz World

Server. For more information, see the Viz World User’s Guide.

• Attributions: Adds an attribution to the map. Alternatives are; Static and Dynamic.

• Dynamic: Displays the attribution when a licensed imagery is in view and

disappears when the image is out of view.

• Static: Displays the attribution as long as there is a licensed imagery in the

scene.

• Attribution Font: Sets the font for the attribution.

• Bold: Sets the attribution font to bold.

• Italic: Sets the attribution font to italic.

• On Top: Places the attribution image to the top in the screen. Default is bottom.
