Click the gear next to the Network Input entry in the DSK source menu to access Network Input
Configuration dialog (Figure 167). The Connection drop-down menu lists all qualified network
sources that have been detected.
Note: Gigabit networking is highly recommended, and should be considered mandatory for HD
sessions in particular. This can also be important for third-party network sources.
Let’s consider some of the available network source types in a little more detail.
IVGA
iVGA is the proprietary NewTek utility supplied to let you use data directly from the interface of a
networked computer. It has a tiny footprint, and can even be run from a USB thumb drive,
without no need to install it directly on the hard drive of the remote client system.
iVGA client programs are supplied for both Microsoft Windows® and Apple OS X®. You will find
iVGA installation files inside the C:\3Play\Extras\iVGA folder on your system drive. There are
several versions of iVGA, and you should select the one best suited to your host system.
Readme files found in the same location will help you determine which one is appropriate.
Documentation for each version is also provided.
