To be able to display a channel in the Video Display window, a physical
connection must be made from the required video source to the input of the
IPDirector workstation A/V board.
Note
To display video on the VGA uses around 25% of the CPU power of the
workstation for a display size of 384 x 288, more if a larger display is
required. The reactivity of the IPDirector interface could be significantly
slower if larger window sizes are used.
