Video input configuration with Logs in the Node Web App

Obtaining the information from the logs can be very useful in configurations where you incorporate a video input device (such as a camera) into the Node.

By accessing the WebApp of the Node, you can find the Logs by clicking on the icon as the image indicates. We suggest you open the logs in a new tab in your browser.

Once you have uploaded your Mapping Tool project into the Node, to see active camera connections in the Node, press “Show devices” in content that uses video input such as the “Camera input” (you will find these contents in the left menu in the Node webapp main view).

There, you’ll find a button that says “list devices.” When you click on it, you’ll see in the logs a list of the video input devices connected to the Node, with a device ID assigned. For example:

“Device: 0: Logitech Brio 500”. On that same list, you’ll be able to see the resolution (the width and the height) on which that video input device is operating.

Once you find the device and the resolution specs in the logs, you need to go back to the content settings on the Node webapp and fill in the Device ID, width, and height.

Then your content should work as expected.

👆🏼 Note: Keep in mind that the Device ID when working on your project in the Mapping Tool will probably not match the Device ID on the Node. So, you’ll need to perform this action once you upload the project to the Node.👆🏼
