Viz Engine |
6100 6700 6800 14300 |
Used by Media Sequencers that connect to a Viz Engine program and/or preview channel. Viz Engine’s default program and preview port is 6100. In a single channel setup where both program and preview output is on the same machine, the default preview port is set to 6800 to separate the program and preview channels. In a dual channel setup, the default program ports are 6100 and 6800 for channel 1 and channel 2, respectively. In a dual channel setup, when used for stereo production, the default program ports are 6700 and 6800 for channel 1 (left eye) and channel 2 (right eye), respectively. An alternative port is used to avoid conflicts with port 6100 (for example when using Viz Multiplexer). Port 6100 is normally used by renderers that are on air - it is therefore recommended to use another port. Port 14300 is an optional port. The default 6100 may also be used if the renderer is not used on air. |
