Several of our clients (Brandspeak, Jim Stafford Theatre, London Metropolitan Police) needed to control many (up to 12) machines with a single button push. The VC-16b can control many machines of the same model... sll machines do the same thing.
FlashMagic is the tool from esacademy.com that we use for uploading new firmware to the VC-16b, the TC-100b, and the controller section of the DVD-1150. This is a Windows application that requires installation on your computer and requires an RS-232 serial port.
USB Virtual Com Port (VCP) Driver for the DVD-1150 (and any other BCD device).
Use Windows
Hyperterminal to control the DVD-1150 through your USB port. Windows
assigns a 'Virtual' serial port. This executable is for Windows 2000,
XP32/64, Vista32/64. MacOS & Linux drivers are available at the
FTDI site http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm
