PAL/NTSC (not with NEO V2)
If a SIMATRIX system uses the NTSC or PAL colour video formats, the relevant
format must also be selected in the programming software.
The option must be activated before you can parameterise the video colour
transfer process in the
Basic
Parameters
dialogue screen in the programming
software. NTSC requires the use of special hardware.

Client
This checkbox should be activated if the SIMATRIX is to be programmed via a
client (vm_win8.exe installed on the client). It is also necessary to activate the
VideoAPI
checkbox if the IVM NT-Client application will run in parallel.
Server
This checkbox should be activated if the SIMATRIX is to be programmed via a
server (vm_win8.exe installed on the server). It is also necessary to activate the
VideoAPI
checkbox if the IVM NT-Server application will run in parallel.
Video API (Server)
This checkbox should be activated in conjunction with IVM NT, to enable
communication between vm_win8.exe and IVM NT-Server when both applications
are run in parallel on the same PC.
