Networked VGA Grid User Guide Configuration presets overview
Output ports
Using the Configuration presets section of the Maintenance page, you can create and save configuration
presets using any number and combination of the configuration groups. Mix and match the settings groups
saved together to create sets of configuration settings needed for each situation. You also always have a
special
Factory default configuration preset (which cannot be erased) to help you return to factory
configuration without destructively erasing files saved to the system hard drive (see Configuration presets
overview
When you are satisfied with the set of configuration items, you can save it, apply it again at a later date and
even download it, then log into another Networked VGA Grid system and apply it there.
It's important to note that configuration presets are applied over existing settings. They affect only the
settings groups included in the preset; all other settings are unaffected. Read the Configuration presets
overview section carefully to understand caveats around using configuration presets.
Configuration presets in action
Here's an example of how configuration presets can make it easy to manage a fleet of systems.
Imagine a company is hired to do the following tasks at a big conference:
l
Stream and record each conference session with a picture in picture layout that includes identifying
information about the presenter in the metadata and the background image for the stream.
l
Stream and record the keynote with pre-show content, post-show content and live switching between a
number of different layouts during the show.
l
Automatically upload backups of the keynote and session recordings.
The company will meet these goals with a fleet of Networked VGA Grid systems.
Before the show, they upload the required backgrounds and create channel configuration presets for the
keynote and each conference track. Each of these is saved as a named preset (for example Keynote, Session 1,
Session 2) with all the pieces needed for that session, including the background image(s), metadata, streaming
settings, etc.
They also create network and automatic file upload (AFU) presets for each of the home and remote locations.
Once at the conference, they upload these configuration files to the fleet of systems and apply the network
and AFU preset. Before each conference session they need only apply the appropriate preset to configure the
system correctly for the session.
