Example configuration and settings

The example provided within the package has been designed to control a LiveCore™ ASC48-4K-PL device with two screens (one Program and one Program with Perspective Layer option enabled), one Confidence screen and one Monitoring output. Before running this sample, please make sure your configuration (as well as the IP addresses) matches the diagram below:

Note that you don’t necessarily need a LiveCore™ ASC48-4K-PL device to run this demo: but according to your LiveCore device capabilities and resources, you may not be able to test the Perspective Layers (screen #2) or not be able to test the Confidence screen (screen #3).

The example uses few presets that should be created with the WebRCS before running it:

Preset #1 to #4 (for Screen 1)

User Preset #91 to #94 (for Screen 1)

Preset #51 to #54 (for Screen 2 – Perspective Layers)

Confidence Preset #1 to #4 (Screen Confidence – Screen #3)

Monitoring Preset #1 to #4

Of course, you can reuse this example as much as necessary to implement your own solution.
