8.7 Remote Operator in the Back Room
In section 8.5, two panel operation was described to
accommodate a graphics operator. The same principles
apply for any second operator.
For example, it may be desirable to have a SoftPanel as
a remote-aux-panel that can be accessed by an
engineer in the back room. As illustrated below, use the
SoftPanel option and dual monitor option to attach a
second SoftPanel for the back room operator. In this
illustration this SoftPanel has been reduced to just an
aux panel, see section 8.4 for how to reduce a
SoftPanel.
As an alternative, the back-room SoftPanel could be on a
separate computer, and plugged into the network hub,
see section 8.6. This provides greater flexibility to where
the back room SoftPanel can be located, as it can be
anywhere on the network, and is not limited to where a
VGA monitor cable can easily run to.
