VDCP on Ethernet Configuration
For Ethernet VDCP, the user must specify the IP Address of the device they are connecting
to, in the Eng Setups/Ports & Devices/External Devices menu.
When configuring a device to connect to the switcher with Ethernet VDCP, the device
should be configured to use port 8000. The one exception to this is when the Server Type is
CrossFire. When the Server Type is CrossFire, the device should be configured to use port
8000 plus the Device number. For example, if Device 7 in the External Devices menu is
configured to use Ethernet VDCP with a server type of CrossFire, the CrossFire device
should be configured to accept the connection on port 8007.
