Naming of video channels and video sources
To video channels and video sources of the RGB- and video input cards individual names can be assigned. The
names for the video channels can be used, when starting a video window. The names of the sources will be
listed to select a source in the running video software.
For the naming procedure once a switcher definition file must be built and compiled. After that the names are
available.
The switcher definition file can be used to configure setups of different complexity. From a single T

system, where the video sources are directly connected to the input cards up to the integrated usage of video
switchers, that enable to provide a lot of sources or the simultaneous usage of multiple T

Here a simple configuration is explained. The complete description of the switcher definition file can be found in
section
Primarily the switcher language compiler must be installed. Therefore check, if the following directory exists on
the P
ROCESSOR
:
c:\Program Files\Barco\SLC
If the directory is missing, first install the compiler. Please refer to section
3.5.1 Installing the display driver and
In the directory are all files located that are needed to create the individual names:
•
example.vsw
is an example for a switcher definition file. You can either adopt this file to your configuration or create a
new file. Nevertheless the extension of the switcher definition file must be
vsw
.
•
slc.exe
is the compiler. The compiler can be started from the command line. It checks syntax and structure of the
configuration of the respective switcher definition file. Depending on the option, the result is displayed just
on the display or it is directly edited to the registry.
•
slc.cfg
provides information about used hardware components for the compiler. This file must not be changed.
