Setting up and Configuring vDisplay IP Engines
The following figure provides a simple overview of vDisplay IP engines autonomously controlling
cameras.
Cameras used in an autonomously controlled video network must be preconfigured before they are
connected; the vDisplay IP engine controls only a subset of the camera’s network parameters.
In Discovery mode, only
Source 0
is allocated for the discovered camera, as there is a one-to-one
relationship between a discovered camera and the vDisplay IP engine. Discovery mode is used when there
is only one camera in the video network.
In IP Address mode, channels
0-7
are used and correspond to the
0-7
cameras being autonomously
controlled by the vDisplay IP engine.
Communication status between the vDisplay IP engine and the connected cameras is displayed beside
SourceControlStatus
in the
AutonomousSourceControl
section in the
GEV Device Control
dialog box.
When a camera is discovered by, and connected to, the vDisplay IP engine, the
SourceControlStatus
changes to
SessionConnected
.
