• icon_timeout: Sets the timeout in milliseconds for the Viz Thumbnail
Generator. If nothing is received from Viz Engine within X seconds, it
continues to request thumbnails for the next data element (used by the
Thumbnail Generator). Default is 2000 milliseconds (2 seconds).
• data_timeout: Sets the Viz Engine connection timeout in milliseconds for
receiving data from Viz Engine. Default is 60000 milliseconds (60 seconds).
This is helpful if you are loading a scene that is very complex or loads a lot of
data that will take time to render (e.g. a map scene).

• enabled: Enables the Viz IO connection. Y or N.
• host: The machine hostname (or IP) of the Viz IO machine.

whether to automatically try and re-establish the connection. (It will try after
30seconds, then after 1 minute, then after 2 minutes, then after 4 minutes.)
• offset: Used to offset the incoming triggers by a fixed number.
7.12 Registry Settings
The table below shows the default registry settings and some others that might
be useful for the Viz Content Pilot client and the Newsroom Component. Before
altering registry settings it is recommended to check with a local Vizrt
representative or support person. It is also recommended to test changes before
applying them to a production system.
Registry settings that are not covered are either legacy settings and no longer
supported or not to be changed. The table below covers those settings that can
be changed during installation or manually using the Registry Editor.
Start Windows’ registry editor and open the following path to edit your
parameters:
• Windows 32-bit: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\[vizrt]
• Windows 64-bit: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\[vizrt]
