Configuration Overview

The nine pages within the 

Configuration

 tab contain the core controls needed during 

initial setup or for upgrading the unit and restoring a configuration.
They make it possible for a user logged in as an administrator to set up how to obtain 
presentation schedules, configure basic AV input settings, output video test patterns for 
setup, configure output stream settings and presets, set up AV encoding and presets, select 
or configure layouts and layout presets, set passwords, set up notices and alarms, select 
preview window settings, and configure digital I/O ports.
It also provides a way to configure basic communication, identity, time, data storage, and 
recording location settings, along with making it possible to update firmware or restore a 
configuration from a saved file.
Only users logged in with adminstator privileges can see and make changes to all settings. 
Those logged in at the user level do not have access to the
