Basic Configuration and Startup

You need to connect Viz Trio to Media Sequencer and a local Viz Engine before you can start using it. This section covers the following topics:

Connecting to Media Sequencer

Parameters in the program target path determine the connection a Viz Trio client has to Media Sequencer. If no Media Sequencer target path parameter is set, Viz Trio will default to a local Media Sequencer.

Adding Media Sequencer

  • Right-click the Viz Trio desktop shortcut on the Windows desktop and set a parameter for the -mse setting in the Target path.

    Example: C:\Program Files (x86)\vizrt\Viz Trio\trio.exe -mse localhost -control -lang en -loglevel 5

Connecting to Viz Engine

Viz Trio needs a local Viz Engine in order to run previews and import scenes. Viz Trio automatically detects and runs Viz Engine.

Note: The same Viz Engine version must be installed on all machines and they must share the same data.

IMPORTANT! For local preview, Viz Trio must have a hardware dongle installed.

Starting Viz Trio
