The Virtual Device – an Application Example
5
The VIRTUAL DEVICE Screen
The Virtual Device screen includes three buttons that trigger the switching of a switcher, scaler or a
similar device in the room 1 Figure 4 as well as a “Select Source” text label, see .
This screen is duplicated as the Virtual Device in the K-Config Virtual Device triggers layer.
Figure 4: Virtual Device Buttons and Label
K-Config software is used to write the control action list to the K-Config Virtual Device triggers
layer; and once the end user presses a button on the Virtual Device, this list of actions is executed.
3.4 Functionalities
The following sections describe how to:
•
Establish a connection to the Master RC (see section 3.4.1 )
• Send/receive data to/from Master RC (see section 3.4.2 )
3.4.1 Establishing a Connection to the Master RC
The Virtual Device can be connected to the Master RC in various ways.
In the example described in section
3.3.1 , the SETTINGS screen is used to enter the IP and the
K-NET ID, after which the CONNECT button is pressed to establish a connection with the Master
RC.
Alternatively, this handshaking procedure can be executed automatically by the application upon
startup or within any other developer-defined event.
In any case, the connect procedure opens the UDP connection and once a connection is established
the Virtual Device sends the Handshaking command (see section 4 ):
