Scene Control

Each source is displayed in a fully resizable ‘window’,
allowing multiple sources to be placed in any position on
the display.

VN-COMMANDER uses ‘scenes’ to record different
source layouts on the display. Scenes can then be recalled
in any order using a customizable user interface or in a
pre-defined order at specific time intervals using the
built-in AutoPlay function.

Scenes can also be recalled remotely using via RS-232 (see
Appendix B) or Ethernet (consult Electrosonic for details).

External Devices

VN-COMMANDER can be set up to include commands
which are transmitted (over serial or Ethernet links) when
a particular scene or source is selected. These commands
can be used to provide automatic control of external
devices such as disc players or matrix switchers.
