6.8 Controlling Viewers
Viewers are controlled via the command interface (Viewer command Interface) or their Properties dialog box.
Open the properties dialog box of the viewer
• directly on the Display Wall using the shortcut key combination CTRL+ALT+Enter
or
• using the viewer’s context menu (right mouse click on viewer name) in the Apollo Explorer, viewer cate-
gory
• or double click on the mini window of the viewer in the Apollo Explorer
The properties dialog box of all viewers has several tabs. These are described together with the corresponding
viewers.
Starting with Apollo 1.8, the time interval for reconnection to a source can be set via
command line. Default value is 30sec. This parameter cannot be set via the GUI!
6.8.1 FRG Viewer
Use the FRG Viewer to view analog videos and RGB sources as well as digital video streams connected via one
of the input cards of TransForm A controller.
The viewer window does not contain any menu or tool bars. Viewers are controlled via the command interface
(cf. Viewer command Interface) or the Properties dialog box.
