Vision Lite is a 4K Matrix Switching, Video Wall Control, and configuration software for use with our encoder and decoder 

endpoints. 

 

The Vision Lite Server Application is cross-platform capable (or OS agnostic), meaning that the software works on Windows, 

Mac, and Linux. The Vision Lite User Interface is a browser-based application that works on PCs, Apple or Android tablets, and 

mobile devices. Browsers supported are Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, and so on. 

 

Vision Lite automatically discovers  units on your network without any configuration. 
 
Follow these instructions to install the Vision Light software. 

 

1.  The latest Java JRE runtime is a prerequisite on the machine running VLite. The JRE can be found here: 

http://www.oracle.com/

technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133155.html. 

 

2. Download the latest Vision Lite software from 

visionary-av.com

. 

 

3. Manually create a read/write-able folder/directory 

C:\VLite 

at the root of your C:\ drive. This is the recommended 

directory to place the downloaded 

VLite.jar 

file, but you can place the file anywhere on your computer. 

 

 

 

4.   Save the 

VLite.jar 

file that you downloaded to the 

\VLite 

folder you just created.
