Amps, Scopes and capture. SECTION 2.1 THE DESKTOP The Viz 2110 IO IP default Desktop interface provides very useful remote monitoring options in addition to configuration and control features. The Desktop interface includes a titlebar running across the top of the screen, and a Dashboard at the bottom.
2.1.1 CONFIGURE CHANNELS Viz 2110 IO IP allows you to select different audio and video sources for each input or channel via the Configure panel (Figure 11). Click the gear next to the channel label below a viewport to open its Configure panel (Figure 10).

The initial Grab Directory is the default Pictures folder on the system, but you can choose to use a network FIGURE 12 storage volumes or external drive connected to one of the USB ports on your Viz 2110 IO’s rear panel instead if you like.

UTPUT If you open the Configure Channel pane for an output, instead, you will find settings related to output from the channel to SMPTE 2110. The first choice you will usually make is which audio/video source you wish to output as SMTPE 2110. Often, FIGURE 14 you will simply use the Audio/Video Source menu to select an NDI a/v stream from your network, but there are other possibilities, too.
Page 17
As mentioned in the previous section, NDI sources – such as a PTZ camera with native NDI network video ® output – can be directly selected. The Video Source drop down menu also contains an Add Media item to let you select a video file to play. The Add IP Camera menu item (Figure 15) requires a little more explanation.

Note: After adding an IP source, you must exit and restart the software for the new settings to be applied. UPPLEMENTAL UDIO EVICE The Supplemental Audio Device allows you to direct audio output to system sound devices as well as well as FIGURE 19 any supported third part audio devices you may connect (typically by USB).
SECTION 2.2 TITLEBAR & DASHBOARD Viz 2110 IO’s Titlebar and Dashboard are home to a number of important displays, tools and controls. Prominently located at the top and bottom of the Desktop, the Dashboard occupies the full width of the screen.
Hint: You can clear individual entries using by right-clicking to show the item’s context menu, or the Clear All button in the panel’s footer. 2.2.2 VIEWPORT TOOLS Viz 2110 IO’s channels each have a toolbar beneath their respective viewports. The various elements FIGURE 24 comprising the toolbar are listed below from left to right: 1.
To use an overlay, just click on an icon in the list (see Figure 28); more than one overlay can be active at the same time. FIGURE 28 2.2.3 DASHBOARD TOOLS UDIO EADPHONES You can connect a headset to the (green) audio output jack on the rear of Viz 2110 IO’s motherboard. FIGURE 29...

Controls for Headphone audio are found in the lower-left corner of the dashboard at the bottom of the screen (Figure 29). The audio source supplied to the Headphone jack can be selected using the menu next to the headphone icon (Figure 30). 1.
Vizrt systems and a growing number of third-party systems provide direct support for NDI, both for ingest and output. Although Viz 2110 IO provides many other useful features, it is purpose designed primarily to turn SMPTE 2110 sources into NDI signals and vice versa.
