Selecting a Controller

Before you can use a video channel, you must first configure it to use a
controller.

Panel Control

specifies control from the Windows NT user interface

and no communication port selection or configuration is necessary. Other
choices allow you to select serial control protocols and require an external
device and additional setup, such as selection of an serial communications port
or specifying clip length for BVW-type controllers. The Comm Port dialog
box appears automatically the first time you select a Louth, Odetics, or BVW
controller (see “Selecting a Communications Port” on page 74).

To select a controller:

1. Click in a panel to select it.

2. Choose

Controller | Select

to open the Controller Setup dialog box

(Figure 45).
