Pano Branding (NADIR)

This article will explain what pano branding (also known as NADIR) is and how to use it.

About Pano Branding (NADIR)

Branding can be added to all the panos within an iGUIDE as an indicator of the company that shot the iGUIDE, this is known as a NADIR. This branding is overlaid on top of each pano where the tripod would normally be visible.

We have attached a .psd file below as an example for creating a PNG with a transparent area around a circle.

How to set up Pano Branding

Pano Branding can be set in 2 different ways:

For a Single iGUIDE

1. Find the iGUIDE on the Portal to add Pano Branding. Under Operator Actions click the Pano Branding Image button.

2. From here select the image to be used as the branding image.

3. We recommend that the image be circular and is at least 1024x1024 pixels, file type: PNG with a transparent background. Refer to Figure 1.

4. If the image is not perfectly square (1024x1024) it will be stretched, we advise checking the preview for confirmation.

5. Scroll down and click the blue Save button to save the changes.

This method will set the Pano Branding for just the current iGUIDE.

How to Remove the Pano Branding Image:

1) Make an image with opaque graphics that can be made as small as needed (Figure 3).

2) Make sure the image is saved as a PNG image file and NOT a JPG image file.

3) Add the image to your pano branding image on the iGUIDE portal.

4) The image where the camera will be seen will now be transparent on all panos (Figure 4)
