Conditions for SimulStream
When…
Then…
you have a full SimulStream license installed,
enable this checkbox to control full
SimulStream.
you have a SimulStream license installed but
have not turned SimulStream on,
the text shows SimulStream as enabled.

license,

evaluation mode.
you disable the Enable check box,
the text line at the top of the control group
indicates an installed SimulStream evaluation
mode.
you enable the Enable check box
the text indicates that SimulStream
evaluation mode is enabled.
A message box prompts you to restart the system when you change the SimulStream Enable
status and click Apply or OK. ViewCast strongly recommends that you do so. If you do not,
SimulStream may partly work but the filter names and their pins may remain incorrect without a
restart.
When you enable SimulStream (or SimulStream evaluation mode), the driver always works in
Postprocessing mode, as described in the mode control group. In this case, the system forces
the mode control to Postprocessing mode and disables the Direct mode control.
