Additional 3rd Party information
Connection
Connection Type
TCP/ IP
Default Port

Supported Features
Access to the parameters for configuring the IP addresses and ports of input and output channels for video, audio and ancillary data.
Control over the polling interval of the subscribed parameters.
Control over the timeout interval of requests which didn't receive a response.
Control over logging.
Supported Commands
GET
Gets the current value of a specific parameter.
SET
Sets the current value of a specific parameter.
Configuration Details
Unfortunately the cards do not support a command which allows us to retrieve a number of configured inputs / outputs therefore both values need to be configured manually in the protocol's options.
Outputs of the card serve specific roles (Program, Preview, Clean) therefore the amount of outputs should generally be 3.
Known Issues
Currently the VizEngine crashes if we try to GET the values of outputs which are not configured on the card. Should be fixed soon by VizRT.
