Configuring a channel for remote control
You can configure a channel for remote control either locally or through a network-connected Control Point PC. Operating remote control from AppCenter provides extended features that allow local and remote control at the same time.
You can select a remote protocol to use with individual channels.
To modify the remote protocol setting for a channel:
- Click on the channel whose protocol you want to specify.
- Select Control | Options. The Options dialog box displays.
- If it is not already displayed, select the Control tab.
-
Select the desired protocol and remote settings, and click
OK. If using VDCP protocol to
control transfers, you must set up the video network and the
Controller ID.
Note: The protocol control port is pre-set and cannot be modified.
-
Test the system and recheck settings, if required.
