Project settings

Mirrored Remotes

Data Hub values from other services to mirror into this engine, alternative to using a Mirror blueprint node on Begin Play, each entry giving the source service and the value name.

Ignore Redundant Calls

Skips API calls that would set a property to the value it already has.

Allow Param Split Between Frames

Lets a call that asks for it spread one of its list parameters over several frames, handling one entry per frame.

Enable Data Hub Single Value Delegates

Generates the OnDataHubUpdateReceived_SingleValue and OnDataHubUpdateReceived_Struct Blueprint updates.

Get World Actor Type Blacklist

Defines which actor types should be ignored when responding to GetWorld API call.

Allow Set Property to Trigger Construction Scripts in Editor

Lets a SetProperty API call re-run actor construction scripts while in Editor mode.

Allow Set Property to Trigger Construction Scripts in Simulate

Lets a SetProperty API call re-run actor construction scripts while in Simulate mode.

Allow Set Property to Trigger Construction Scripts in Live

Lets a SetProperty API call re-run actor construction scripts while in Live mode.

Refresh Slate on Set Property

Redraws the Editor UI after a SetProperty call so changed values become visible immediately, outside of Live.

Default Pixotope Component Settings

The render layer and Pixotope custom depth values applied to any scene component that has no class specific override.

Pixotope Component Settings Overrides

Per class and per Blueprint component overrides of those defaults, falling back to the nearest parent class that has an entry.

Auto Fix Settings

Applies recommended settings for a Pixotope project. For a complete list hover over this setting in the Editor.

Kill Duplicate Engines

Makes the older engine exit when two engine instances are running on the same Pixotope machine.

Copy from Vanilla World Settings Tab

Mirrors values from Unreal's standard World Settings tab into the Pixotope World Settings tab.

Replace Existing Volume on Auto Spawn

When Pixotope auto-spawns the post process handler it replaces the first unbound post process volume instead of adding a second one.

Auto Check Out Config Files

Checks out or unlocks Pixotope config files before writing them, so a setting changed from code is still saved when the file is read only.

Default Auto Manage Essential Actors

New levels default to letting Pixotope add and maintain its essential actors automatically.

Framerate Sync Type

Selects how the engine framerate follows the video framerate, either through a fixed delta time, through Max FPS, or not at all.

Unpremultiply Output

Outputs straight (un-premultiplied) alpha instead of premultiplied alpha.

Lock FPS to Video in Editor

Also applies the framerate sync in Editor and Simulate and not only in Live.

Precompositing Delay

Number of frames the compositing input video is delayed by, -1 uses the current frame.

Separate Mask for Each Channel (Slow)

Generates an individual mask per output channel instead of one shared mask. Try this if there are issues with Motion Design masks when using multiple broadcast channels.

Separate Mask for Each View

Keeps geometry masks active for every view instead of only the active one. Try this if there are issues with Motion Design masks when using multiple broadcast channels.

Limit MD Memory Use

Caps the queue of Motion Design Niagara data channel publish requests to limit memory use.

Flush Package Loading on Level Streaming State Changed

Forces pending package loads to complete whenever a Motion Design streaming level changes state.

Motion Design Overlay Render Target

Render target the Motion Design overlay is rendered into for compositing over the camera.

Number of Motion Channels

How many Motion Design channels the project provides.

Rename Channel 0 on Project Open

Renames a Motion Design channel named "Channel_0" to "Channel_1" on project open, if no "Channel_1" exists.

Allow Any Collisions

When off, no physics state and no collision meshes are created for meshes, so imported levels do not clog performance.

Allow Text3D Collisions

Lets Text3D actors build collision data, which is off by default because it greatly increases Text3D instantiation cost.

Print Camera Tracking

Print camera tracking data on the screen.

Popup on Non Pixotope Binary Loaded

Shows a warning when a plugin or binary that was not built with the Pixotope SDK is loaded.

Placeable Blueprints

Additional blueprints listed in the Pixotope section of the Place Actors panel.

Ignore Version Compatibility on Package Load

Allows opening projects from newer Pixotope/UE5 patch versions.

Broadcast System Info

Publishes machine and system information to Data Hub for monitoring.

Auto Attach XR Walls By Default

New XR walls stay attached to the Real World Reference by default.

Unified Compositing

Enables the unified compositing pipeline.

TrueVS (Experimental)

Enables the TrueVS compositing mode for virtual set production.

Enable Holdout Depth

Makes holdouts write depth so objects behind them are occluded correctly.

Stall Detection

In Live, reports a stall to Data Hub when the engine stops ticking for longer than the stall threshold.

Stall Threshold

Time in seconds without a tick before a stall is reported.

Dump Stack on Stall

Writes a dump folder when a stall is detected.

Per Category Settings

Defines how verbose should be each log category and if it should be comunicated to the network. Setting some categories to Spam can provide useful insights.

Should Override Verbosity

Enables a verbosity override for all log categories.

Log Verbosity Override

Defines a verbosity override value for all log categories.

Should Override Log to Data Hub

Enables a network behavior override for all log categories.

Log to Data Hub Override

Defines a network behavior override value for all log categories.

Never Send Spam Logs to Data Hub

This blocks sending too-verbose logs to the network. Turning this off could potentially result in an infinite feedback loop. Beware!

Show Pop-up Notifications

Shows Pixotope messages as pop-up notifications in the Editor, they are written to the log either way.

Timecode Source

Which timecode the Pixotope Timecode Provider reports, either the unique timecode, one of the video IO inputs, or game time.

Use Execution Time Offset for Synced Game Time

Delays synced game time by this machine's execution time offset instead of by a fixed local delay.

Local Synced Game Time Delay (in Frames)

Fixed local delay in frames applied to synced game time when the execution time offset is not used.

Sync Delta Time

Uses a shared delta time across engines so time-based animation stays identical on all machines.

Sync Delta Time in Editor

Also applies delta time synchronization in the Editor, which can look jumpy when not meeting the genlock framerate.

Use Execution Time Offset for Schedule Function

Compensates scheduled function calls with this machine's execution time offset.

Schedule Function Timecode Source

Timecode source used when scheduling function calls.

Wait for Synced Tick (in Seconds)

Delays the engine start by this many seconds so that all engines start ticking together.

Use Execution Time Offset for Synced Tick

Delays the tick by this machine's execution time offset instead of by a fixed local delay.

Local Synced Tick Delay (in Frames)

Fixed local delay in frames before this machine starts ticking, when the execution time offset is not used.

Genlock Unsynced Receiving

Aligns incoming Data Hub data that carries no timecode to the genlock signal.

Unsynced Delay in Frames

Delay in frames applied to unsynchronized incoming data.

Unsynced Delay in Milliseconds

Additional delay in milliseconds applied to unsynchronized incoming data.

Send Runtime Status

Reports template runtime status, such as loaded or playing, to Data Hub.

Updates per Second in Game

How often runtime status is sent while in Live.

Updates per Second in Editor

How often runtime status is sent while in the Editor.

Start Avalanche Broadcast on Begin Play

Starts the Motion Design broadcast automatically when play begins.

Unload Avalanche on End PIE

Unloads Motion Design assets when a Play-In-Editor session ends.

Delay PIE End for Avalanche Cleanup

Holds the end of a Play-In-Editor session briefly so Motion Design can clean up.

Always Rebuild Asset Cache On Startup

Rebuilds the Pixotope asset cache every time the editor opens the project instead of only when it is missing.

Local IP

Which local IP CTSReceiver binds to for incoming tracking data.

Local Tracking Port

Which local port CTSReceiver binds to for incoming tracking data.

Should Lock Remote Address

When checked CTSReceiver ignores incoming data that does not come from the remote IP and/or port.
