The Settings → Advanced dialog contains two advanced options.

Stop audio engine on quitLink to Stop audio engine on quit

This option determines what happens to the streams and audio devices when you quit the application.

  • When enabled, Lawo VSC stops streaming when the application quits (and will only start streaming again once the application restarts).
    This is ideal if you wish to control whether the streams and sound devices are available by opening and closing the app. Note that connections can only be re-instated if the relevant streams are available on the network and Lawo VSC has valid sync.
  • If the option is disabled, then the streams and audio devices remain available after the application quits.
    This can be useful if you have a fixed configuration that you wish to remain in place (at all times). You can check the status of the background services from the Status Menu. In this instance, to stop the Lawo VSC streams: either stop the Audio Engine manually or re-open the app, toggle the option back on and then quit.

Enable definable Port per StreamLink to Enable definable Port per Stream

This option determines whether a UDP port number can be configured, individually, for each outgoing stream. It affects whether the Port field is visible in the 'New Audio Device' dialog (as shown below).

  • When disabled, all streams are set to the default port number (5004), and the Port field is hidden from view.
  • If the option is enabled, then the Port field becomes visible. This can be used to enter a port number for each individual stream. If nothing is entered, then "automatic" is displayed and the default port number (5004) is used.
