ABOUT VIDEO DISPLAY
What is Video Display?
The Video Display module is one of the DCN software modules designed
to be used in conferences and discussions using the DCN contribution
equipment.
Its function is to interface the DCN software with conference video
displays. The Video Display module provides a means of displaying
conference-related information on video displays located in the conference
venue. The information can consist of text, numbers and graphical elements
like bar charts. All the information displayed is generated by other DCN
modules, and it is not possible to alter this information in Video Display.
NOTE: If information is to be displayed on video displays, data must be
converted within the DCN control PC or transferred to a separate PC via an
ethernet link.
To use Video Display, it is necessary to have a Video Display (VD) Client
application. The VD Client application receives the information which is
passed to it from the Video Display (server) module. The user can change
settings related to how information is displayed on the video screens, such
as text or background colours. This can be carried out either during or after
installation of the VD Client software. The VD Client application is
supplied with the DCN installation disks.
NOTE: It is not possible to use VD Client running on Windows 95 or 98
when Video Display is running on Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000. It is
advisable to use the same operating system for both the VD Client and the
Video Display server.
NOTE: The VD Client must be started after the Video Display server has
been started.
NOTE: The source code for this application is supplied on the VD Client
installation disks. It is therefore possible to alter this application using a
Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)-compatible package such as Visual Basic.

This VD Client application accepts four different types of display
information:
• Voting Results display. This information is generated using the
Parliamentary Voting module (LBB 3575) and the Multi Voting module
(LBB 3576) and consists of a voting motion and the results of the vote
on that motion.
• Message display. This information is generated using the Message
Distribution module (LBB 3582) and consists of a conference-related
text message (e.g. when and where lunch will be, or when tomorrow’s
session will begin).
• Microphone Information display. This information is generated either
using the Microphone Management module (LBB 3570) or the Synoptic
Microphone Control module (LBB 3571). It consists of a list of
delegates whose microphones are active and those waiting to speak.
• Attendance registration display. This information is generated using the
Attendance Registration module (LBB 3578). It consists of information
about how many delegates are absent or present.
NOTE: Display data can only be shown when the DCN software module
which generates the data is running. For example, voting data can only be
supplied when a voting application is active.
NOTE: It is also possible to display DCN conference information using
numeric displays, alphanumeric displays and geographic displays. For more
information, please refer to the user manual for Text/Status Display
(LBB 3583).
Video Display is unlike all other DCN modules in that there is no user
action required to operate it. It carries out its function - interfacing the
DCN software with video displays - automatically. This document is
therefore not a user manual but a reference manual. It gives information on
default settings, installation and examples of typical displays containing
microphone information, messages and voting results.
NOTE: The DDE information which is available within the DCN system is
described in the DCN External Interfaces document (3922 988 5101X).

VD CLIENT INSTALLATION
Introduction
VD Client can be installed on the DCN operator PC as well as on another
PC that has an Ethernet connection to the DCN operator PC.
On the DCN Operator PC
To install VD Client on the DCN operator PC:
• Put the CD-ROM that contains the VD Client software in the CDROM drive of the PC.
• Select the ‘Start’ button on the Windows Taskbar and click on ‘Run’.
A dialogue box appears.
• Type <D:\Video\Current\ClientSetup> in the ‘Open’ field and click on
the ‘OK’ push button.
If the CD-ROM drive has a letter assigned other than D, enter that letter in
place of D. Follow the instructions that appear on-screen.
On another PC
Besides installing VD Client on the DCN Operator PC, it is also possible
to install it on another PC that has a network connection to the DCN
Operator PC. However, in that case an extra software application must be
installed on the DCN Operator PC that takes care of the communication
between Video Display and VD Client. The following requirements must
be met for a correct operation of this application:
• The TCP/IP protocol must have been installed on both PCs.
• Both PCs must be in the same workgroup.
• The IP address of the DCN Control PC must be 192.168.100.1.
• The IP address of the VD Client PC must be 192.168.100.2.
• The subnet mask of both PCs must be 255.255.255.0.
• Put the CD-ROM that contains the VD Client software in the CDROM drive of the DCN Operator PC.
• Select the ‘Start’ button on the Windows Taskbar and click on ‘Run’.
