Decoded Window Splash Screen

Each decoded window may display a splash screen generated by the program. The splash screen is enabled by default and displayed when a source stream is either not assigned or not available. The splash screen option may be disabled from the Enterprise Controller.

NOTES:

•A custom splash screen may be added and used in place of the supplied design (see Application Configuration on page 12).

•Only one splash screen can be used at a time. The same splash screen is applied to all decode windows.

Decoded Window Status Messaging

Status text may be overlaid at one of 9 positions on each decoded window. The messaging provides information on the status of the stream connection.

Status text is authored and enabled by the Enterprise Controller. The size and positioning of the text, and the foreground and background color are configurable from the Enterprise Controller.

The status messaging appears as follows:

VNS 104 Audio

Whether a single stream is displayed in full screen layout, or multiple streams are displayed, audio from one of the assigned sources is selected by the controller.

Audio controls include signal level and mute, selected by the Enterprise Controller.

VNS 104 Device Name

The VNS 104 Decoder can be given a user‑defined name to help identification in a large system. The device name is visible in the device list of the Enterprise Controller and is displayed as part of the status overlay text when it is enabled.

The default name is the same as the device ID entered during the installation of the VNS 104 software. This value can be changed from the Enterprise Controller.

Multiple Controller Domains

The VNS 104 is able to decode streams that originate from different VNM Enterprise

Controller domains.
