Lab.gruppen PLM 20000Q - Manual

Introduction
Since the launch of iPad, many audio professionals
have been looking for a way to run Lake Controller
on this small, cost-effective, and remarkably
ingenious hardware platform. Unfortunately, the full
Lake Controller software application is designed
to run only on a Windows OS. However, at Lab.
gruppen we have tested various VNC remote
desktop solutions. As a result we now can offer
remote access of Lake Controller using iPad,
retaining full functionality of all touchscreen-
controllable features.
How It Works
Lake Controller on iPad utilizes Virtual Network
Computing (VNC), a graphical desktop sharing
and remote control system based on the RFB
(remote frame buffer) protocol.
A VNC system consists of a client (the iPad),
a server (the Windows host computer), and a
communication protocol.
VNC Server is a software program that enables
the Windows computer (server) to share its
screen, and for a remote client to take control of
it. The VNC client (or viewer) is the program that
interacts with the server from the iPad using the
shared screen interface.
The VNC protocol (RFB) is elegantly simple,
based on one graphic primitive from server to
client (example: place a rectangle of pixel data at
the specified X,Y position) for screen information.
Event messages are carried from client to server
for remote control.
