ID – Unique string ID for the renderer. The corresponding spawner has to be started with the same ID. Automatic IDs are supported - if the spawner is started without an ID specified, the IP address of the spawner (the address that the server sees in case of multiple networks) is automatically used as an ID. The IDs can also use a Host:Role or a Host/Role naming convention. The Hostpart typically represents the machine name or IP address where a spawner is running, and Roleis an arbitrary identifier for differentiating render instances running on the same host. In this case, the spawners are started only with the Hostpart as an ID.

Operator – Specifies whether the instance is an operator instance or a render instance.

Neighbors – Specifies that the renderer is a left/right/top/bottom neighbor of the renderer with the specified ID. Used for configuring overscanand edge blending. If not specified for a particular side, there won't be any overscanand edge blending on this side. Applies only for direct (continuous) orthogonal neighbors.

Settings for the stage geometry projection mesh. Ignored on operator instances.

Node – Scene name of the projection node to be used. Required for each render instance.

UV Channel – The projection mesh UV channel to be used. If not specified, the default UV channel is used according to the DCC that exported the scene (for example, 1 for 3ds Max, 0 for Maya and Blender).

UV Flip – Optional UV flip of the projection mesh in one or both of the dimensions.

Auto UV Bounds – If enabled, the UV bounds of the projection geometry are automatically computed. If disabled, the UVs are assumed to be in [0, 1]. The UV bounds determine the mapping of the output image in UV space. Enabled by default.

Settings for the additional stage geometry projection helper nodes.

Env. Viewpoint Node – The scene name of the environment viewpoint node. An optional parameter that determines the point of the environment projection. If not set, the environment projection is disabled. Should be the same for all renderers in most cases. Ignored on operator instances.

Tracking Origin Node – The scene name of the tracking origin node. An optional parameter that determines the camera tracking center and orientation in the scene. If not set, the projection geometry pivot point and orientation are used. Note that on operator instances the camera projection is not active. In order to visualize the tracked camera correctly in operator instances, a tracking origin node should be specified. Same for all renderers in most cases.
