[ V ] VLC -Video Control

[ V ] VLC -Video Control
Sometimes Videos had to be played at an external computer and the screen had to be captured in Ventuz. For better control over Videos, this program was developed. With ‘[V] VLC-Video Control’ for Ventuz you can open all Videos
which are supported by VLC-Player. You can play Video on another device in your Network and control it by Ventuz.
You must use a capture card when using “Live Video” input.
You can also use virtual capturing and show your own screen.
This program will be controlled directly from Ventuz. Therefore, Ventuz and the program must be in the same network.
This function is only for Ventuz Professional and Ventuz PLE. It will not run on Ventuz Express.
