What is the VN-GLIMPSE RGB ADAPTER?
The VN-GLIMPSE RGB ADAPTER is used to distribute an RGB monitor signal from a source
computer (or similar graphical device) across an IP network to a viewing station.
At its simplest the viewing station can be another computer, running the VN-GLIMPSE VIEWER
software application. For more advanced applications one of the VISIONETWORK (VN) range of
image processors can be used, allowing more than one VN-GLIMPSE source to be viewed
simultaneously (along with other source types) on a target display.
The VN-GLIMPSE RGB ADAPTER uses a fast Digital Signal Processor to provide near real-time loss-
less compression performance and is ideally suited to source images with low to moderate motion.
It also allows keyboard and mouse controls at the viewing station to be used to remotely control
software applications on the source computer.
The VN-GLIMPSE RGB ADAPTER simply connects between the source computer and its monitor,
keyboard and mouse. It is fully independent of the source computer operating system or hardware
manufacturer and does not impair the performance of the source computer in any way.
Single or Multiple Users
By default the VN-GLIMPSE RGB ADAPTER operates in ‘unicast mode’ allowing one user (viewing
station) to be connected at one time.
Where more than one user (viewing station) is required, the unit can also operate in ‘multicast mode’.
However, please note that an additional license is required for this mode of operation.
