Note: Functions for automatic operation are not available with an additional dongle.
Click on Options in the function bar below the main menu and select Global Options - Program start on the left. Use this dialog box to specify the behavior of Wings Vioso RX after startup of the program.
Startup delay ...delays startup by the specified period. If after starting up the computer Wings Vioso RX is to be started via the Windows Autostart folder, you can delay this by the specified period. This may be necessary for particular configurations (network, etc.). Choose one of the following options:
Never ...Wings Vioso RX opens without delay
Always ...Wings Vioso RX opens with the specified delay. The reference time is the start of Wings Vioso RX.
After PC start ...Wings Vioso RX opens at the earliest with the specified delay after the start of Windows. The reference time is the start of Windows. Therefore the specified delay should not be too short, e.g. 120 seconds.
Below this you can choose whether a project is to be opened automatically or not. If yes, you can specify the project:
No action ... opens only the Wings Vioso RX Program Window
Show startup options ... opens the dialog box for selecting projects, templates and Project Wizards.
Open last project ... opens the project edited last.
Open following project ... opens the specified project. To select the corresponding project, click on Select filenames.
Note: Loading of a project during program start can be prevented by keeping the Shift key pressed.
In addition to this, you can specify a few extra actions, which is particularly important for automatic presentation mode. Please note that the first four options are only available when Open following project was previously selected:
Connect to RenderEngine ...establishes a connection with the Render Engines upon starting up the servers.
Wait for client connections ... is an important function for automatic multidisplay presentations. At Timeout you can specify the maximum period the master is to wait for the clients. Data transfer to the clients is started as soon as the connection to the clients has been established but at the latest after the timeout has expired. This period should allow the clients to safely establish a connection with the master.
Transfer media files to clients ... as above, but only the corresponding media files required by a client, i.e. only the minimum of data are transferred. If a client within the network is not active, all other clients are still supplied with data. This function can only be selected when Wait for client connections is enabled.
Ignore last autosave status ... ignores the last autosave or location of system crash or power failure. For automatic mode in permanent installations you should enable this functions to prevent queries such as "Do you want to continue at the location the show was aborted...." and to start the presentation as programmed. See also Continuing a presentation after power failure.
Enable all warnings ...should usually remain enabled for all messages to be displayed. For presentation mode you can reduce warning messages to the absolutely necessary by disabling this function, i.e. unchecking the checkbox. See also Enabling/disabling all warnings.
Enable device ports ...ensures that the device ports are enabled for a project to be auto-started after Wings Vioso RX start-up. See also Enabling the device ports. For solutions to problems in enabling the device ports during autostart, click here.
Adjust sound card assignment ...makes sure that the current allocation of sound card outputs is not altered by Windows, e.g. due to faulty sound card detection. This option is required for the sound interface Audiotrak FW 410, for example.
Trigger Scheduler ...for enabling and disabling the trigger scheduler (...requires the Show Control Module).
Disable ...disables the Trigger Scheduler.
Enable always enables evaluation of conditions and executes the triggers that fulfil these conditions. See also Trigger functions.
Restore last exit state restores the setting that was active when the program was exited last.
