The template utilizes the three levels "control," "data," and "LAN." These levels are identified with the following
colors.
Level Color
Control red
Data blue
Network green
These levels can be individually hidden or displayed.
The Control Room Configurator makes it possible to depict hardware and software configurations of Barco Dis-
play Wall using the help of specific shapes.
Link lines (connectors) can be attached only at connection points located within the small red, blue, or green
squares.
Red Square: Control Connection
Blue Square: Data Connection
Green Square: Network (LAN) Connection
Links are possible only within one level! Invalid connections/links don't click into the connection points.
Dotted connection lines lead to invalid configuration files! Links are possible only within one
level (color)! Connection lines can be attached only to connection points.
In early Apollo Release, there were two types of protocols to control devices, the Barco
LCD-DLP Agent protocol and the Barco RC Agent protocol. Now the Barco RC Agent can
address and control every device of a Display Wall, and the LCD-DLP Agent is no longer
necessary.
There are 4 template groups:

creation of configuration files.
