6.6.2 Steps required to configure the Visu Viewer
Visu is a device to display video and RGB sources and is addressed by the Barco RC Agent as such.
The tree view of the Apollo Explorer also lists this as a device and it has to be an entry in the RC Agent as well.
Follow these steps to adjust the Visu hardware for Apollo:
• Copy the Visu firmware files (located on the Control Room Suite CD-ROM in the folder RCAgent\RCAgent
1.4.4) to the directory of the Barco RC Agent on the workstation (default path during the installation of the
Barco RC Agent is C:\Program Files\Barco RC Agent).
• Configure the Visu

Export command. Configuration is done either by specifying the correct position of the resolution switch on
the graphic card (recommended) or manually by setting the respective Visu parameters of the Visu shape.
