Section 2: System Configuration
Set Up Sources
Each source that you need to use in your presentation
must have a corresponding ‘source definition’ within
VN-COMMANDER.
What is a Source
A source definition contains full details of the source,
Definition?
such as its signal format (
e.g.
NTSC, PAL, RGB, DVI
etc.)
and which input channel on the VN-QUANTUM
Processor the source is connected to.
If you are using an external source switcher (
e.g.
to give
access to multiple sources on one input) the source
definition can also include a serial command string used
to operate the switcher. A separate source definition is
required for each of the sources that can be connected to
the VN-QUANTUM Processor.
When VN-COMMANDER needs to display a particular
source, it uses the parameters in the source definition to
configure the appropriate input channel for the required
source.
Source definitions are created and set up using the Set Up
Source task (see page 43).
VN-COMMANDER CONNECT does not support the
use of Glimpse, Clock, HTML and picture source types.
Remember that you will need to setup communications
with a switcher before you can define any sources
selected via that switcher. See page 35 for further details.
