Author Topic: Display the name of the machine in VNC Raz Tovy Film Handler Posts: 34 From: haifa, israel ,israel Registered: Jun 2014 posted 12-29-2014 05:23 AM                     hi all, I would like to change the display of my Christie CP2210/20/30 in the VNC. I have an example here: How i do it? I would also like to this with DCP-2000. Thx all.  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 12-29-2014 09:35 AM                     If you use a VNC client with presetable connections, the VNC client may allow you to assign your own connection titles. Some VNC hosts allow to assign names, but I think it's better if the client allows to assign free titles to ALL devices. - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Dave Macaulay Film God Posts: 2321 From: Toronto, Canada Registered: Apr 2001 posted 12-29-2014 09:57 AM                     If it displays anything from the connected device, it will be the device's network hostname. The hostname is configured in the projector (or server, Jnior, whatever) network settings. It can be set to some identifying info when the systems is installed, but is often just left at whatever the default was from the factory. Note that changing network settings can really screw up the projection system network (no shows until corrected) - so unless you know what you're doing and how to recover from mistakes... leave them alone. The domain and hostname can be critical for local network connectivity. Most installations are on domainless isolated network segments though, and these names can be changed to anything you like. If the domain is obviously a factory default (ie chistiedigital.com, doremilabs.com) then you can probably change it and the hostname at will. If that's the Christie web browser connection page you show in the image, the text at the top is probably just the version of tightVNC used (the projector uses a Java (I think) version of tightVNC in the webpage to connect to the TPC). That text doesn't look like a projector hostname. I do not have a projector available to connect to to check this theory out. I generally use RealVNC (installed on my PC) to connect, and I don't recall it displaying any hostname info for anything.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 12-29-2014 11:05 AM                     Login with service credentials.

How i do it in my Doremi Dcp 2000?  |  IP: Logged Raz Tovy Film Handler Posts: 34 From: haifa, israel ,israel Registered: Jun 2014 posted 12-30-2014 07:40 AM                     How i do it in my Doremi Dcp 2000?  |  IP: Logged Anders Nordentoft-Madsen Film Handler Posts: 57 From: Valby, Denmark Registered: Aug 2005 posted 01-02-2015 08:37 AM                        It cannot be done on the Doremi's  |  IP: Logged Manuel Acevedo Civantos Film Handler Posts: 26 From: Québec, QC, Canada Registered: Mar 2013 posted 02-08-2015 12:05 PM                        Some VNC clients will allow to change the name of the connection. For Doremi, I add a line in the Control Tab of Cinelister with the screen number. Easier than looking at the IP.  |  IP: Logged Gary Benn Film Handler Posts: 23 From: Leeds West Yorkshire Registered: Sep 2013 posted 02-08-2015 02:56 PM                     Which VNC client is that?  |  IP: Logged Raz Tovy Film Handler Posts: 34 From: haifa, israel ,israel Registered: Jun 2014 posted 02-09-2015 02:07 AM                     Manuel Acevedo Civantos: How you do it?

On windows I have seen promising configuration options, but never worked. Looking at the IP is easy in some clients, that's another option. I still prefer having the screen number wrote on the Control Tab, as that's the tab the "normal" operators should only use, with the various basic operations they need.  |  IP: Logged Ken Lackner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1907 From: Atlanta, GA, USA Registered: Sep 2001 posted 02-12-2015 11:20 AM                     Manuel: The only place I can find to add a screen number is in the Theater Properties section of the Control Panel. I've done it on two different servers, and this information does not appear on the Control tab. How are you putting the screen number on the Control tab?  |  IP: Logged Manuel Acevedo Civantos Film Handler Posts: 26 From: Québec, QC, Canada Registered: Mar 2013 posted 02-12-2015 12:17 PM                        Add a section name and write whatever you want in it, even a button with no function. It's not a feature, it's a hack  |  IP: Logged
