B. BARCO CONTROL MANAGER
B.1 General requirements
Functionality
Controlling and monitoring of the projector settings. Remote diagnostics to detect potential errors.
Computer requirements
A computer with standard web brower ( Internet explorer, Netscape communicator, ...) connected to a LAN (local area network) is
sufficient to run the control manager and to get access to the projector.
As Java technology (Java Applets) is used, the application is downloaded when needed and run within a web browser. Unfortunately,
not all web browsers provide this possibility.
The Barco Control Manager has been successfully tested on Microsoft W indows platform (98/NT 4.0/Windows 2000) with Internet
Explorer 4.0 or higher and Netsc ape 4.7 or higher. On other platforms and with other browsers, it should run fine when the browser
supports Java Applets and supports the J ava Swing library. As an alternative, when on a specific p latform there is no browser
supporting the above requirements, it should be possible to r un the application using an Applet Viewer.
With most web browsers, it is not the web browser itself that executes the Java applet but the Java Virtual
Machine (VM). E.g. for MicrosoftE xplorer, the latest Java VM can be found atthe following URL :h
