The steps below describe how to setup Lawo VSC to work with a HOME system.

Before you start, please check that:

  • the Lawo VSC computer is connected to the same media network as the HOME server,
  • the HOME server is configured,
  • you know the IP address of the HOME system.

1.    In Lawo VSC, open the 'Settings' dialog (as shown below).

2.    Select the HOME tab.

3.    Enter the IP address of the HOME system into the HOME Server Address field.

4.    Click on Connect (to establish the connection).

Once the connection is made, the status (in Lawo VSC) updates to "Connected".

Then Lawo VSC appears in the HOME 'Devices' list. This takes a few seconds so please be patient for the list of the devices to update.

5.    Once the Lawo VSC device appears in HOME, the setup is complete.

You can now use the 'Stream Routing' page to make connections to and from the Lawo VSC senders and receivers (as described earlier).
