Name, title, token alias and camera can be set here as for any other feed. Change the type to ‘Panorama’ (you must select a camera first before being able to choose the feed type), and you will be presented with further options that apply specifically to panorama feeds.

The error page is optional and allows to inform the viewer about a currently ongoing maintenance process.

After saving, the feed will appear in the feeds list.

Panorama feeds have expanded options which let you define hotspots and logos.

Compass

Panofeeds can optionally display a compass tape on top of the screen, and/or a compass rose either in the upper-right corner, or in the lower-right corner if the upper-right corner is taken up by a logo.

Defining North

The compass will need to know where in your image north is. This is defined the same way as the position of hotspots are defined, with a fractional number defining how many percent of the total image width the point is distant from the left edge of the image. For example, 0 (0%) means north is the left edge of your image, 1 (100%) means north is the right edge, 0.5 (50%) means it’s right in the middle, and so on.

Non-360 degree panoramas

If your panorama is not a full 360 degree panorama, there is the possibility that north is not in the image. In this case, you may enter a value larger than 1 to push the position outside the image (for example, 1.5 (150%) would mean that north is half the width of the image beyond its right edge).

In this case, the compass will also need to know how large the field of view of your panorama actually is. You must enter this in the “compass angle” field in order for the compass to display correctly on such feeds.

Error page

You may enter an optional url into the error page field. If the feed is unavailable for some reason, or has no images to show, it will be redirected to this url.

If you check the “Show error page right now” box, any further requests to the feed will be redirected to the url you entered in the “error page url” field until the box is unchecked again, even if there would not be no actual error. This is handy to enforce an intentional downtime of the feed, for example for maintenance purposes.

Hotspots

Clicking the ‘Add’ button in Hotspots section will create a form for hotspot configuration.
