vSolution Matrix Settings (optional) |
Version V1.62 |
The vSolution Matrix Feature Pack adds Network AV functionality to share content over IP in the virtual room. It is recommended to use a single switch for the complete room to obtain maximum performance.
For ease of use, the installation has to be virtually mapped as a template with the configurator on the master Cynap which will act as the main station.
Drag&drop the desired clients from the dropdown menu "Devices" and place it on the map as either circle or rectangular symbols with adjustable size and orientation. Select a desired color and adjust the connection routes by moving the circles to prevent lines crossing. The connection routes can be drawn as polygons or curves, simply by clicking the respective symbol in the dropdown "Devices". One of the streaming sources, which you have configured in the Input settings, can also be placed in the Matrix to forward just the URL of the Multicast stream instead of re-streaming the content (all stations require network access to this streaming source).
For documentation, a session folder (network drive) can be configured to share all snapshots and recordings made during the session.
When you have finished your drawing, save it.
Additional client stations can be added later, up to 30 stations can be configured in a virtual room.
To work with changing room setups, define extra templates accordingly. And in each template, you can define groups to allow sharing content just to the single group.
Enable / disable Master Mode to allow configuration and controlling of vSolution Matrix.
Enable / disable Power on/off Stations to allow switching the client stations on and off.
Enable / disable Auto Open File, to open shared files automatically when received.
Enable / disable Collaboration to allow Annotation mode between main station and client stations.
Enable / disable Master Control Mode to allow locking client stations when their content is pulled to the master (for best experience, secure connection shouldn't be enabled in the security settings).
Locked stations are marked with a lock symbol.
Enable / disable Limited Access to limit the controls of the connected stations. Not available functions of the control center are greyed out.
(available Master Control mode is enabled).
Enable / disable Groupwork Mode to allow sharing content between single stations when the Master station is not available.
Enable / disable External Template Change to allow changing pre-defined templates remotely without getting a notification.
Enable / disable Netdrive session storage by selecting the drive type.
To map up to 10 network drives. Input all necessary data according to your servers. After saving, the state will be checked and an accessible drive will change the state to "MOUNTED".
Allowed protocols are CIFS 2.x (Common Internet File System) and NFSv3 (Network File System).
URL as IP or name (when using the name, a valid DNS server would be required)
Set Domain name according your network infrastructure (blanked out when using NFS)
Set username according your network authentication rules (blanked out when using NFS)
Set Password according your network authentication rules (blanked out when using NFS)
Read only on or off, off enables additional write access
Select network drive as default upload destination (available with enabled write access only)
Every taken snapshot and recording will be uploaded to this destination automatically.
Configuration, add a new template to setup the virtual room (up to 5 templates are possible).
You can name the templates individually, like "Full room" and "Small setup".
Add New Group allows grouping client stations to allow sharing content just to the desired group in the room setup (up to 5 groups each template are possible).
You can name the groups individually, like "Team left" and "Team right".
Background: Browse to change the background picture of your vSolution Matrix (jpg with resolution of 1920x1080 allowed; setting available via browser only).
Reset Background restores default background picture for your vSolution Matrix (setting available via browser only).
Open Configurator opens the virtual room to edit the templates.
The dropdown menu "Devices" allows adding new stations to the virtual room via drag&drop, deleting the current virtual room, changing the symbol shape, changing the type of connection routes, and refreshing the device list. Select the desired shape before adding a new station to your virtual room. The big dots of the grid are used to position the stations and the small dots of the grid to position the connection route.
The orange dot indicates the main station (master) and its position can be changed. The shape of the streaming sources depends on the selected type in the Input settings (Visualizer, PC, Cynap, etc.).
To delete the complete virtual room, use the trash bin. To delete single stations, click the x on the desired station.
When a user defined Background is loaded, it will be shown in the background, behind the grid. The Background picture can also be used to illustrate the room for easy positioning of the single stations.
The rectangular symbol on the station allows its size and orientation to be adjusted.
The three single dots on the connection route allow the line to be transformed to get a clean routing without any lines crossing each other.
The dot symbol of the client allows changing the position of the connection.
The drop symbol allows changing the color of the connection route.
The symbol with the three dots allows enabling audio and assigning the station to a pre-defined group.
Single stations can be deleted by drag&drop to the trash bin at the bottom edge.
When you want to change template, the current drawing can be saved or discarded.
When you want to leave the configurator with the back-arrow symbol in the top right corner, the current drawing can be saved or discarded.
Please note
Do not disconnect any of the stations from the currently opened template. This because saving will be blocked when a client station should be unreachable. In case, a pop-up message informs you of every unreachable station in the network.
Saving a template could take a few seconds, please wait until it is completed.
