ABOUTVIDEO 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.

VIDEO DISPLAY  
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 CD-  
ROM 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 CD-  
ROM drive of the DCN Operator PC.  
• Select the ‘Start’ button on the Windows Taskbar and click on ‘Run’.

place of D. Follow the instructions that appear on-screen.  
• Put the CD-ROM that contains the VD Client software in the CD-  
ROM drive of the VD Client PC.  
• Select the ‘Start’ button on the Windows Taskbar and click on ‘Run’.  
A dialogue box appears.  
• Type <D:\ClientSetup>in the ‘Open’ field and click on the ‘OK’ push  
button.

a window contains more information than can be displayed on one screen.  
For example, the Attendance window can display 10 lines of information.  
When there are more delegates in the conference, the Attendance window  
consists of multiple screens that are each diaplayed for the configured time.  
Environment  
Using the ‘Environment’ block, the environment in which VD Client is  
running can be configured. VD Client runs either on the DCN operator  
PC or on an external PC with a network connection to the DCN operator  
PC.  
• If VD Client is running on an external PC, click the ‘Program runs on  
an external PC’ radio button and enter the network name of the DCN  
operator PC in the ‘Network name of DCN PC’ field.  
• If VD Client is running on the DCN operator PC, click the ‘Program  
runs on DCN Operator PC’ radio button. If the DCN operator PC has a  
dual video card, it is possible to use one video channel to display the  
DCN software modules and one video channel to display VD Client  
(tested for Matrox dualhead G550 video card).

screen is configured. See the next section for information about the Blank  
screen.  
• If the background must have the same colour as specified in the ‘Screen  
setting’ block, select ‘Colour as set in Screen setting’.  
• If the background must be black, select ‘Black’.  
Window switching  
Using the ‘Window switching’ block, the window switching mode can be  
configured. VD Client provides the following windows: Voting,  
Attendance, Message and Microphone. These windows can be switched  
either manually using function keys (see the next figure) or automatically.

DISPLAY CHARACTERISTICS  
Introduction  
The VD Client application provides the means to show conference-related  
information on video displays located in the conference venue.  
This information can consist of text, numbers and graphical elements such  
as bar charts. The data for information displayed is generated by other  
DCN modules, and it is not possible to alter this information in VD Client.  
The VD Client provides the following windows:  
• Voting window  
• Attendance window  
• Message window  
• Microphone window  
Note: Customised VD Client applications can be made on request. For  
example, a VD Client application that contains a synoptic representation  
individual voting results (see the next figure).
