15. Guide Introduction In many applications no special setup or configuration of the RGB ADAPTER will be required other than to set its IP Address and Subnet Mask Any RGB ADAPTER configuration that is required is achieved by means of the VN GLIMPSE Setup Utility provided on the Software Disc The Setup Utility must be installed and run on a suitable PC or laptop computer the configuration computer HINT You can install the Setup Utility on the source computer and use this machine to configure the RGB ADAPTER The configuration computer must then be connected to the RGB ADAPTER via its Network port There are two ways of achieving this e Method 1 Direct connection between the computer and the RGB ADAPTER using a crossover patch cable not supplied or e Method 2 Indirect connection between the computer and the RGB ADAPTER via an existing local area network LAN Method 1 is recommended as it allows the RGB ADAPTER to be configured without the risk of its default settings conflicting with other devices Once the unit is configured it can be safely connected to the network Method 2 can only be used if you are certain that the default settings will not cause a conflict with other network devices This includes other RGB ADAPTERS If you intend connecting and setting up a number of RGB ADAPTERs on the same network always power up and configure each unit one at a time If all units are powered up at the same time with the sa
16. IMPSE Performance In an ideal VN GLIMSPE system the source seen at the viewing station should be virtually indistinguishable from the original source However in certain circumstances you may notice some reduction in performance The following details are intended to explain the problems you may encounter and how to minimize or avoid them What are the performance criteria Image Refresh Rate how often the display content is updated Ideally this should match or be as close as possible to the refresh rate of the original source As the refresh rate decreases a loss of smooth motion will be noticed For example a moving mouse cursor will appear to move smoothly at a fast refresh rate but will appear more jerky at slower rates The RGB ADAPTER features a variable source refresh update rate To ensure smooth motion it will use the highest possible refresh rate However during periods of intense screen activity the refresh rate may be temporarily reduced to compensate for the higher volume of data Image Latency how quickly a change in the original source takes to be seen in the viewed source Ideally this should be instantaneous i e in real time In practice there will always be some delay introduced by the electronics and software that processes the data between the original source and the viewing station but this will usually be small enough to be ignored As the latency increases a greater time lag will become
