Local Control
Keyboard, mouse, and monitor – Connecting a keyboard, monitor and mouse to the
iVDR rear panel provides access to AppCenter. You can use a mouse and keyboard
shortcuts to control the iVDR.
Front Panel – The optional Front Panel comes mounted on the front of the chassis,
however, it can be removed and operated remotely using an optional front panel
accessory kit which includes a 15 foot extension cable and front panel cradle.
See
“Guide to using the Front Panel” on page 83 . USB connectors on the edge of the Front
Panel allow you to connect a USB device, such as, a disk, memory stick, mouse,
keyboard, or transport control device. The keyboard is used for text entry and
provides keyboard shortcuts to control the iVDR. A transport control device that
emulates a keyboard can be used to control the iVDR through keyboard shortcuts.
Remote Control
GPI I/O – GPI input triggers can be assigned to channels to control actions such as
record, play, stop, and skip a playlist event. GPI output triggers can be defined for
channels and inserted in playlists to control external equipment as the list is played.
See “Configuring GPI inputs/outputs” on page 121 .
Serial Control Protocols over RS-422 – The iVDR can be controlled by devices and
applications software developed for the M-Series iVDR that use serial control
protocols over the RS-422 serial port.
See “About remote control protocol support”
on page 278 .
Remote Control Protocols over Ethernet – The iVDR can be controlled by devices
and applications software developed for the iVDR that use serial control protocols
over the Ethernet network.
