# Panorama · Current View

> Aim anywhere inside the 360° panorama viewer and capture the current viewport as a flat image (`COMFYTV_IMAGE`).

<Frame caption="Panorama · Current View · screenshot coming soon">

</Frame>

## What this node does

**Current View** sits downstream of **Panorama** and includes its own interactive viewer. Drag inside the sphere to aim, then release or click **▶ Run** — ComfyTV captures that viewport as a **perspective slice** from the equirectangular panorama. The output is a normal flat image for Image Edit, Video Stage, etc.

Panorama owns the full 360° sphere; Current View owns **one window** looking out from the center.

## When to use it

* Pick a camera angle from an HDRI or generated panorama
* Turn a 360° environment into a storyboard frame or I2V start image
* Preview **Aspect / Resolution** before downstream editing

## How ComfyTV designed this

* **Stage** with **▶ Run** — executes this capture only, not the full graph queue.
* **Snapshot**: **panorama** input is the upstream Panorama snapshot; re-run Panorama after changing it, then Run Current View.
* **Browser-side**: viewport projection runs instantly in the browser (no GPU), same 3D engine as Panorama.
* **yaw / pitch / fov / aspect\_ratio / resolution** are driven by the in-node Vue panel (hidden on the node socket list). Preview frame locks to aspect ratio — WYSIWYG.

## Types (COMFYTV\_\* vs native ComfyUI)

| ComfyTV type       | What it is              | vs ComfyUI            |
| ------------------ | ----------------------- | --------------------- |
| `COMFYTV_PANORAMA` | Upstream panorama URL   | Input                 |
| `COMFYTV_IMAGE`    | Captured flat image URL | Not an `IMAGE` tensor |

**Conversion:** for IPAdapter / ControlNet → **← ComfyTV Image**; plugin output into ComfyTV → **→ ComfyTV Image**. See [bridges.md](https://github.com/jtydhr88/ComfyTV/blob/main/docs/bridges.md).

## Parameters

### panorama (input)

Upstream **Panorama** `COMFYTV_PANORAMA`.

### yaw / pitch / fov (hidden, panel-driven)

* **yaw** (-180…180°): horizontal turn, 0 = forward
* **pitch** (-89…89°): elevation, 0 = horizon
* **fov** (10…120°): vertical field of view, default 75°

### aspect\_ratio

Capture aspect ratio (16:9, 1:1, …). Preview locks to this.

### resolution

Short-side tier: **1K**=1024, **2K**=2048, **4K**=4096.

## Outputs

| Output    | Type            | Meaning             | Downstream                                           |
| --------- | --------------- | ------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| **image** | `COMFYTV_IMAGE` | Viewport screenshot | Image Edit, Upscale, Video Stage (I2V), Image Picker |

## Step by step

1. Have **Panorama** on canvas with a Run snapshot (or upload).
2. Add **Panorama · Current View**, wire **panorama**.
3. Drag in the viewer to the desired angle.
4. Set **Aspect** and **Resolution**.
5. **▶ Run**, check thumbnail, wire downstream.

## FAQ

**Q: Capture doesn't match preview?**\
A: Set the angle before Run; change angle → Run again.

**Q: Native IMAGE output?**\
A: Add **← ComfyTV Image** after this node.

**Q: Stale image after Panorama changed?**\
A: Re-run Panorama, then Current View — downstream reads upstream snapshots.
