Global Settings

Name

Device

Source

Enter a unique, descriptive name that will be displayed on the virtual remote. For example in Figure 7, "Sony DVD" is the configured name shown on the controller. No embedded spaces or special characters are allowed.

Select a device from the dropdown list. The list shows serial port direct-connect devices and VBIR (SpitFire) commanded devices that are tested and supported by VBrick. It also shows any custom VBIR devices you have added. Creating User Defined VBIR custom devices is explained below. You cannot create custom serial port direct-connect devices. If the source device you wish to control does not have a serial port, you must use a VBIR for remote control.

Select as the source either a VBrick encoder or a Live Video Stream URL (identified by URL) from the dropdown list. The Device that was selected above will be associated with the specified Source. Selecting a Live Video Stream URL requires that you specify an IP address and port. Enter these in the IP and Port fields that are displayed when you select a Live Video Stream URL.

User Defined VBIRs

Select the SpitFire version you have (SpitFire II or III) and enter a Description and a three-digit Code (see Adding User-Defined VBIRs below).
