Control
Low-level setup of VN-QUANTUM (e.g. changing network settings) can be achieved using either the
VN-QUANTUM Control Panel application or the VN-QUANTUM Administrator running on a separate
PC.
All high-level setup (e.g. display and source configuration) and positioning of source windows on the
target display is achieved using the VN-COMMANDER application.
VN-QUANTUM Control Panel
This is an application that runs on the VN-QUANTUM processor. It is accessed by connecting a
keyboard, mouse and monitor to the card frame. See pages 33 – 36 for further details.
VN-COMMANDER (Quantum Edition)
VN-COMMANDER is a simple-to-use Windows-based software application that is used to provide
high-level configuration of the VN-QUANTUM and to provide full user control of the target display. The
VN-COMMANDER computer connects to the CONTROL port on the card frame (see page 37).
Using VN-COMMANDER you can:
•
Change the output configuration, e.g. resolution, refresh rate.
•
Define the physical layout of the target display.
• Define source names and setup.
•
Design different source layouts (‘scenes’) on the target display.
• Recall particular scenes with a simple user-definable control panel.
VN-COMMANDER scenes can also be recalled using remote control (see page 79).
VN-COMMANDER is installed using the VN-QUANTUM System Disc (see page 38).
Full details on using VN-COMMANDER can be found its own User Guide which is also available on
the System Disc.
Note: The ES3304 VN-QUANTUM CONNECT requires the use of the VN-
COMMANDER CONNECT control software.
