Profile Protocol Resources
The Profile Protocol Resources utility lets you assign Profile resources such as
inputs, outputs, and codecs, for use with ports controlled by Profile Protocol
over an RS-422 connection and managed by ProLink. The PRC100 is one
example of a device which uses these ports.
Profile Protocol implements Named Configuration Space (NCS) as a
mechanism to ease Profile configuration. Using NCS, an application can send
one command, Open Port (10.01), with a parameter specifying a configuration
file to use, and the Profile unit handles all the resource allocation and
crosspoints specified in the configuration file. This frees the application from
the task of allocating resources manually.
The Profile Protocol Resources utility provides a simple, graphical way of
creating configuration files. It replaces previous Profile Protocol configuration
tools such as the PRC100 Configuration Utility (prccfg.exe), and configures all
Profile resources, including MPEG encoders and decoders.
The following sections explain how to use the Profile Protocol Resources
utility. You’ll also find an explanation of the contents of a configuration file,
and some sample files that you may find helpful if you need to modify files
manually.
Using the Profile Protocol Resources Utility
The following instructions explain how to use the Profile Protocol Resources
utility to create configuration files.
1. Double-click the Profile Protocol Resources icon to start the utility. A
window similar to the one shown in Figure 106 appears.
The available Profile resources are displayed in the window. Note that these
resources will vary according to the features of each Profile system. For
example, while JPEG codecs are available on all Profile systems, MPEG
encoders are only available on some PDR300 models, or on PDR200 systems
with MPEG upgrades.
NOTE: Resources which are currently assigned to other Profile
applications are displayed as Resource In Use in the Profile Protocol
Resources utility. If you wish to assign these resources, exit Profile
Protocol Resources, free the resources in the other Profile
applications, then restart Profile Protocol Resources.
