The VideoClick Viewer can be operated using which operating systems?
The VideoClick Viewer can be operated on computers that run the Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows NT WS operating systems.
Is it possible to run VideoClick using a Windows NT operating system, using a Videoplex decoder and ATI video card?
No. When using Windows NT, the ATI card does not support Overlay. The only way to work with this configuration is to use the analog output to connect the video signal to an external monitor.
Can I run the VideoClick Viewer and VideoClick Acquisition from the same computer at the same time?
Given the manner in which the encoder boards utilize the computer resources, it is not possible to concurrently share resources. The encoder board uses most of the computer resources, a fact that will interfere with the Viewer's performance. Nevertheless, you can run the Viewer and Acquisition independently of each other on the same computer; i.e., run the Viewer and then run the Acquisition, but don't operate them at the same time.
Can I run the VideoClick Server and VideoClick Acquisition from the same computer at the same time?
Similarly, given the manner in which the encoder boards utilize the computer resources, it is not possible to concurrently share resources. The encoder board uses most of the computer resources, a fact that will interfere with the Server's performance.
Can I run the VideoClick Server and VideoClick Viewer from the same computer at the same time?
It is possible but not recommended. The server should operate in as "clean" an environment as possible. Moreover, the decoder tools (both hardware and software) are not designed to run optimally on a computer that operates the Windows NT Server operating system. In such an environment, the Viewer's performance will be hampered.
If you must install both the Server and Viewer on the same computer, make sure that both the Server and Viewer components are stored in the same directory.
While working with the DirectShow software decoder, in full screen mode, the video and sound images are sometimes erratic.
Verify that you have the manufacturers drivers that support Direct X for both the video card and sound card that are installed on your computer.
While working with MPEG2 files in high bandwidths, the video image is jumpy.
Verify that you are using a Fast Ethernet or higher network.
While using a Videoplex decoder and ATI All in Wonder Pro video card, the screen turns blue instead of displaying the video.
Verify that the Overlay setting is defined properly. To do that, start the Engine Selector program and choose the necessary definition.
Does the Server have to be defined as a Primary Domain Controller or Backup Domain Controller?
No. It can also be defined as a Stand Alone.
Does VideoClick support DHCP Viewers?
Yes. All VideoClick Viewers support DHCP, except for the Server and Acquisition stations that have to be static IP addresses.
What do I have to do to change decoder boards?
Change boards, then run the Engine Selector and answer the relevant questions.
