Configuring the System
DisplayDock Admin
is the administrative program which configures the system. It is used for four main tasks:
·
To check and update the system firmware.
·
To update or change the configuration from Fader Start to Button Start.
·
To check and update the firmware on the RAVENNA IO Card.
·
To select the monitor used by DisplayDock (to launch the GUI).
You will need to run DisplayDock Admin whenever you update to a new version of software. The latest firmware
and configuration files copied onto the control PC during the software installation. When DisplayDock Admin
connects to the Compact Engine, it compares the versions and updates the status messages accordingly. Any
new files can then be transferred.
