Map Page

Map Intro Image 1

The Map Page is the central hub for configuring the visual output of media from the device. It offers users a comprehensive suite of mapping functionalities through three main tabs:

Simple

Advanced

Warp & Blend

These tabs, located at the top of the page, provide easy navigation for setting up versatile display configurations.

Simple Mapping​

The Simple tab is designed for quick and straightforward mapping tasks. It’s ideal for setting up the Hive Player’s output for LED walls or basic projector configurations.

To adjust the visual output, click and drag on the yellow arrows to resize and reposition the canvas on the output screen. Whether you’re mapping a single screen or a basic LED wall layout, the Simple tab provides an easy way to get your visuals positioned correctly with minimal effort.

Advanced Mapping​

The Advanced tab offers more complex mapping tools, making it especially useful for creative-led projects, such as stage setups or intricate installations.

In the advanced mapping tab, you can achieve

Custom Mapping Configurations: Tailor your output with advanced options for greater control.

Precision tuning: Fine-tune your display layout to meet the specific requirements of your project.

Warp & Blend Mapping​

The Warp & Blend tab is specialised for projection mapping, allowing integration with third-party software like Screenberry or Vioso. While Hive doesn’t provide a camera-based solution, you can still create seamless, dynamic projections by integrating these platforms.

Features:

Third-Party Integration: Full support for external software like Screenberry and Vioso.

Projection Mapping: Achieve sophisticated projection effects by seamlessly blending multiple outputs.

Queen And Worker Mode Mapping​

In Queen and Worker Mode, the Map Page remains independent on each device. While the Queen device maintains control over broader system operations, the map settings and output regions on Worker devices must be managed individually. Unlike other pages, changes made on the Queen’s Map Page do not affect Worker devices. This ensures that each device’s mapping can be tailored to its specific needs, allowing flexibility in multi-device setups.

Independent Mapping: Queen and Worker devices have separate map settings, offering customisation for each device.

Non-Interference: Changes made on the Queen device's Map Page do not propagate to Worker devices, ensuring isolated control for each device's visual outputs.
