6.2.3 Configuring video
With the switcher definition file user defined names can be assigned to the input, a video switcher can be inte-
grated into the system and be controlled, distributed video can be configured and a video switcher can be used
by multiple computers simultaneously.
Therefore information about the video hardware configuration (i.e. input cards, cabling, switchers, computers,
etc. ) needs to be specified in the switcher definition file and compiled into the registry with the switcher lan-
guage compiler.
If the switcher language compiler is already installed the needed files can be found in the folder: C:\Program
Files\BARCO\SLC\ or if not installed to the default folder in the folder indicated during the installation process.
Else the switcher language compiler has to be installed, please refer to section
switcher language
compiler!
A simple switcher definition file example.vsw is included. It can be adapted to your specific configuration and
the name of the file can be changed. The file slc.exe is the compiler that reads the indicated switcher definition
file and makes the entries into the registry. The other files contain static hardware information and may not be
changed.
The switcher definition file
The switcher definition file contains all individual parameters of the related hardware configuration: computers,
video switcher, configuration of S
input cards and the cabling. Line comments are marked with // at the beginning of a line, enclosed comments
start with /* and end with */.
In the following it will be necessary to enter the configuration of the video switcher and the installed input cards
or the used input channels respectively into the switcher definition file. To refer to the type of the installed
hardware, see the table below. The numbering for each type of hardware identifier starts with [0] 0]. One channel
is considered for each B
