What is Video Display?
The Video Display module is one of the DCN software modules designed
to be used in conferences and discussions using the DCN contribution
equipment.
Its function is to interface the DCN software with conference video
displays. The Video Display module provides a means of displaying
conference-related information on video displays located in the conference
venue. The information can consist of text, numbers and graphical elements
like bar charts. All the information displayed is generated by other DCN
modules, and it is not possible to alter this information in Video Display.
NOTE: If information is to be displayed on video displays, data must be
converted within the DCN control PC or transferred to a separate PC via an
ethernet link.
To use Video Display, it is necessary to have a Video Display (VD) Client
application. The VD Client application receives the information which is
passed to it from the Video Display (server) module. The user can change
settings related to how information is displayed on the video screens, such
as text or background colours. This can be carried out either during or after
installation of the VD Client software. The VD Client application is
supplied with the DCN installation disks.
NOTE: It is not possible to use VD Client running on Windows 95 or 98
when Video Display is running on Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000. It is
advisable to use the same operating system for both the VD Client and the
Video Display server.
NOTE: The VD Client must be started after the Video Display server has
been started.
NOTE: The source code for this application is supplied on the VD Client
installation disks. It is therefore possible to alter this application using a
Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)-compatible package such as Visual Basic.
