To limit the number of TCP connections

From Viz Engine 3.3 the number of TCP connections to Viz Artist can be set in the Viz

configuration.

1. Open the Viz configuration file (Viz-<hostname>-0-0.cfg):

• 32-bit system: C:\Program Files\vizrt\Viz3\ or

• 64-bit system: C:\Program Files (x86)\Viz3\

2. Under SECTION COMMUNICATION set ‘max_tcp_connections’ to the number of

TCP connections required.

Note: If the number is set to 1 the first control application connecting to Viz will

get exclusive control over Viz.

Note: This setting applies to the default port (6100) and the Multiplexing Ports.

• Format 1-20: Sets and enables the clock formats that may be selected in Viz Artist

during scene design.

Tip: Add a font GEOM in Viz Artist to see how the clock formats can be used.
