Using the VN-GLIMPSE VIEWER
To start the VN-GLIMPSE VIEWER…
From the Start menu, choose Programs | Electrosonic | VN-GlimpseViewer.
VN-GLIMPSE VIEWER will now begin detecting VN-GLIMPSE sources available on the network.
This process may take several seconds to complete, especially if there are a large number of
sources.
The VIEWER interface will then appear:
On the left-hand side is the Source Window which displays the currently ‘connected’ source. When no
source is connected, it appears black, with the message ‘Not Connected’.
On the right-hand side is the Channel List which shows all the currently available VN-GLIMPSE
sources. The following details are displayed for each source:
•
Glimpse Agent – network name of a hardware agent or the name of the host computer for a
software agent;
•
IP Address – of the hardware agent or host computer for a software agent;
• Type – whether it is a Hardware or Software agent;
•
Protocol – the method used to carry source data across the network, either TCP Unicast
(allowing one client connection) or UDP Multicast (allowing multiple clients).
•
Multicast Group* – the address of a Multicast source.
• Port* – the port number being used by the Multicast source. VIEWER receives data on port
5000 only.
NOTE: Parameters marked * are not applicable to software agents (e.g. VN-GLIMPSE SERVER)
