Remote Video

If you install the Marquee PC software on your personal computer (available from www.horizoncontrol.com), one of the START Menu options is to connect (using the Local Area Network) to a console to monitor your show. Once you launch the application using this shortcut, you will be presented with the Remote Video Connection dialog box:

A list of recent IP addresses can be found by clicking on the down arrow in the combo box. If you don't the know the IP address of your console, hover over the Network button in the Marquee Control Panel. The tooltip will show you the current IP address. By default, your Marquee allows five remote connections.

The remote video connection does not allow you to Select or alter Fixtures or change Cue Properties, but it does allow you to independently view cues in Blind just by moving the Blue Box and you can display any cue list you wish to see which cues are active. The remote can chose to display Look Masters, Macro Buttons, Tracksheets and position the splitters in any locations they want. Most toolbars and Softkeys are disabled:

If the main system exits or re-loads a show file, the remote machine will be presented with a dialog box explaining that you must close and re-connect to the main system. You can also disconnect using the File|Disconnect Remote Video option to disconnect any time and/or connect to another system on your network.
