Example control-in.conf File
The following is a sample control-in.conf file:
# Control input configuration
#
# Control ports
#
# Each control port is configured with a line of this form:
#
# <prot> <comm type> <comm port> <speed> <parity> <video> <rate>
# <preroll> <var>
#
# prot: Protocol (louth, odetics, sony, mvcp)
# comm type: rs232, rs422 (on Origin only), tcp
# comm port: Serial port number (e.g., 1, 2), or TCP port number
# speed: Bits/sec (default=38400) (use - for TCP)
# parity: 0=none, 1=odd, 2=even (default=odd) (use - for TCP)
# signal port: default signal port number (use -port for louth
# input port)
# frame rate: frames/sec (29.97, 25)
# preroll: command preroll (# frames)
# var: variable arguments, currently support name=string
# This defines the normal MVCP TCP control port
mvcp tcp 5250
# Other control ports
