When starting the video software, option /d: specifies a certain video channel, option /c: allows
to read settings for displaying the video from a certain configuration file. If the video software is
started without specifying one of these options, the first video channel to be found is selected and
displayed using the default settings.
The video channels can be started by means of their default names. With basic video display mode
these are frg0, frg1, frg2, ... . The video channels of distributed video with B
are named dfrg0, dfrg1, etc.

For a system with Big Video Cards and RGB Input Cards it is recommended to use
not the default names but to define individual names by means of the switcher
definition file for the video channels. An instruction for the asignment of names is
given in the next section.
