Operating Advanced Preview Monitor

Before utilizing the Advanced Preview Monitor (APM), make sure that your Reality Engine scene (*.uproject) is launched and working in Configuration Mode. For more details, see Launcher

Launching Advanced Preview Monitor

• Go to Main Menu > Windows > Nodegraph/Actions
• Create a Camera node
• Connect Camera_0 node’s Output pin to EngineControl node’s Display pin

• Move your mouse pointer over the Output pin of the Camera_0 node and right-click
• Go to Monitor 1, select Channel - A

Using Advanced Preview Monitor in Multiview

Add the following nodes to your Nodegraph:

• One Mixer node from the Switcher Node Class
• Two Camera nodes from the UE Camera Node Class
• Two UserTrack nodes from the Tracking Node Class

Make the following connections:

• EngineControl node’s Display input pin to Mixer node’s Program output pin
• Mixer node’s Channel_1 input pin to Camera_0 node’s Output pin
• Mixer node’s Channel_2 input pin to Camera_1 node’s Output pin
• Camera_0 node’s Track input pin to UserTrack_1 node’s Track pin
• Camera_1 node’s Track input pin to UserTrack_2 node’s Track pin

Next Step:

• Select the UserTrack_1 node
• From the Properties panel, find the UserTransform property under the Input property category
• Change the Y value from 0 to 600
• Change the Z value from 100 to 300
• Y (Yaw) value from 0 to -25

Now:

• Go to Camera_0 node’s Output, right-click with your mouse, and select the Monitoring - 1 > Channel - A
• Go to Camera_1 node’s Output, right-click with your mouse, and select the Monitoring - 2 > Channel - B

As shown in the image above, we can monitor two different Camera outputs in the same Advanced Preview Monitor window.
