Viz Engine Administrator’s Guide

1 Introduction

This guide will guide you through the setup and installation of Viz Engine. It will also

explain settings available through its configuration user interface.

The term Viz is used for the programs installed and run on the computer. This is used

as a general reference for all modes of the program:

• Viz Artist

• Viz Engine

• Viz Config

What mode of program that can run is determined from the hardware dongle that is

attached to the actual machine (the different modes and the hardware dongle are

detailed in this User Guide).
