Networked VGA Grid User Guide 1-3 Configuration presets
It's important to note that configuration presets are applied over existing settings. They affect only the settings
groups included in the preset, all other settings are unaffected. Read the Configuration preset considerations
section carefully to understand caveats around using configuration presets.
Example of configuration presets in action
A recording and streaming company brings Networked VGA Grid to a conference as part of a portable rack.
Each conference session needs to be streamed and recorded with a picture in picture layout that includes
identifying information about the presenter in the metadata and the background image for the stream.
Automatic file upload is needed to make sure the files are uploaded right after each session is complete.
The company could bring Networked VGA Grid in a factory configured state and get it ready between each
session, but this requires a trained operator and doesn't allow much time to get multiple operations
completed.
Instead, the company could connect the system to their own corporate network before the show, upload the
required backgrounds, and create channel configuration presets for each conference track. They can also
create network and automatic file upload (AFU) presets for each of the home and remote locations. Once at
the conference, the only changes necessary are to apply the network and AFU preset upon arrival, and the
channel configuration presets between sessions.
Note: channel configuration presets include links to background files used, but do not include the files
themselves see Branding content
Internal network and AFU preset
The company uses this preset when configuring and testing from their corporate network. It uses a static IP
address on their corporate network and AFU that uses ftp to upload to a local ftp server.
Conference network and AFU preset
The company applies this preset to the Networked VGA Grid when they arrive at the conference. It changes
only the network and AFU settings (using a conference-specific IP address and secure file transfer to an ftp
server).
When applying this configuration preset, all other information including passwords, date/time, channels and
source configurations, remains the same.
