
Privacy – while engaged, iVGA PRO’s video output is replaced by a static privacy image
(see hint below) and audio output is muted. Privacy mode allows the user to check e-
mail, or perhaps view or arrange something, without risk of the audience observing.
The taskbar icon shows a red indicator when Privacy mode is engaged.
Hint: If an image named “privacy.bmp (or privacy.jpg) exists in the folder that iVGA is
launched from, it will be sent. Otherwise the default privacy screen is used.

About – displays information about the application.

Exit (exits the iVGA application)
HOTKEYS

In Region mode, it’s possible to zoom the marquee to several preset sizes (150%, 200%,
400%) using the hotkeys Right Ctrl + number pad 1, 2 or 3 (these hotkeys enable Region
mode). Right Ctrl + (number pad) 0 selects the full screen for output. Pressing Right Ctrl
+ (number pad) 5 5 toggles the Marquee display on/off (even if the control panel is
closed), while Right Ctrl + (number pad) 9 enables or disables the Follow Mouse option.
14.2 AIRPLAY®
AirPlay® is Apple’s protocol for getting audio and video from ‘here’ to ‘there’ – specifically, from
an AirPlay source (which may be an Apple® computer, or a mobile device such as iPad
® , iPod ® , or
iPhone ® ) to a second device.
The local network is the means of transmission between units, and a wireless connection from
the player to the network is perfectly acceptable. Typically, the target device for AirPlay might
be a television display or set of speakers, but in this case, your TriCaster is the beneficiary. It
basically works as follows:

You select the AirPlay entry in the Source menu for Net 1 or Net 2, just as you would
select an iVGA or LiveText source. (Unlike iVGA, embedded audio, with level control, is
supported.)

TriCaster identifies itself as a network client for AirPlay apps/applications.

You can then designate TriCaster as the output device for content played on the device.
