Video Server Configuration

Once the system is up and running you must set the session parameters for the vrm-eventlistener. The video computer needs to be configured for the number & name of video capture cards it has, and with the node's name. To do this run setup-config.

1. Log in as root.

2. In a terminal window on the video machine type setup-config

3. From the pull down menu select the appropriate camera interface - composite, television, s-video - for each video card in system.

4. Select camera name - main, presenter, audience.

5. Enter the name of the node.

   This name is the name that will be viewed by the participants in a collaboration session in the top edge of the video window. This name must include the name of your institution to identify you to the other participants.

6. Click on write output and exit.

   Create Launchers

   To simplify start-up of the video and audio tools, create a launcher on the desktop for vrm-eventlistener on the video machine and arm-eventlistener on the audio machine. These steps should be completed while logged in as "AG".

   1. Log in as AG to Audio or Video machine

   2. Click the right mouse button on the desktop and select new>launcher.

   3. Enter arm-eventlistener or vrm-eventlistener as appropriate in the name field.

   4. Enter /usr/local/ag/bin/ arm-eventlistener/ or vrm-eventlistener as appropriate, in the command field.

   5. Make sure the type box is set to application.

   6. Select an icon

   7. Click ok.

   8. Repeat for Audio or Video machine.
