Configuring the HMX 6210T transmitter
The HMX 6210T transmitter contains a VNC server that allows you to transmit a low-bandwidth
version of the video output across standard networks to authorized remote viewers. The VNC link
can either be made over the same network as the main HMX extender output or via a separate one.
Basic set up and configuration on the transmitter front panel VNC port was completed earlier in this
guide. However, further configuration of the VNC port is completed through the use of a third party
VNC Viewer program running on a computer or mobile device. By utilizing a VNC Viewer, up to
sixteen remote users can log in over standard networks to view the output of the HMX 6210T
transmitter.
NOTE:
Instructions on using a third party VNC Viewer vary depending on which one you choose. See the
help sections or other documentation supplied by the specific program if you need more information.
Selecting a third party viewer
If you do not already have a VNC Viewer, you can choose one of the following options:
