InfoCaster R2100 Hardware Installation Manual
Set the Video
Standard
Use the Video Standard drop-down list to select the video standard for desktop
video output. The options available depend on the output device you are using,
but generally include PAL and NTSC standards.
Confidence
Preview
Desktop Video and VGA Out provide a Confidence
Preview checkbox. Select it to enable Network Manager
and InfoCaster to display thumbnails of player output.
Confidence Previews are CPU and GPU intensive.
Supports
Touchscreen
VGA Out provides a Supports Touchscreen checkbox. If
your output monitor has touch screen capabilities, select
this checkbox to allow InfoCaster to detect screen
touches.
To use this feature within InfoCaster, enable a region to
detect a touch and assign that region to a Conditional
Playback trigger.
To set up a touch screen:
1 Connect the touch screen monitor to your system.
2 Right-click on your computer desktop and select
Properties.
3 Switch to the Settings tab.
4 Set up the touch screen so that it is the first head.
5 Within the InfoCaster Configuration Utility, set
InfoCaster to output to that head. Set the other head
as the Windows desktop.
DirectX Yield
Technique
VGA Out provides a DirectX Yield Technique drop-down
menu to control video output. The default selection
(Query) is the most efficient, but it is not supported on
some cards.
Try the other yield techniques only if you are
experiencing serious output problems.
