Auto Start Settings and Options

autostart_inspector

 

Auto Start VERTEX

Default: Disabled

When enabled, VERTEX will automatically start after Windows 10 startup. Use this setting without any specified file or folder in instances where session members are being connected to a master after Windows startup. Specify a folder or project for standalone systems or for a master system ( see below).

Use Auto Start Folder

If enabled,  VERTEX will look for  .vxp project files in the selected folder after auto start.

Auto Start File/Folder

There are 3 options to specify VERTEX behavior and project loading during auto start:
 
1) Set a folder: VERTEX will look for a project file in that folder and will load the first project file. This is like a watch folder where VERTEX will always look for a project file.
 

2) Set a path to a specific VERTEX Project File: VERTEX will load the specified .vxp project file. This usage is for master systems starting always with a specific show.
 

3) Set a path to a specific hard drive - for instance:  "E://"
VERTEX will search this external drive for a VERTEX project file to load. For this, please also enable " Check on new USB device".

Auto Start Delay (s)

Sets the time delay between Windows startup and VERTEX's auto start. Default time is set to 15 seconds.

Check on New USB Device

Enable if VERTEX should check for a new external USB devices on auto start to load an existing project from. Please specify the external drives path in the Auto Start File/Folder field.

Cache New Project to Disc

Enable to cache a project from an external drive to disk. Use to prevent your installation or show from being disrupted by someone accidentally un-plugging the external USB drive.
Recommended setting when loading projects from external drives.

Reset Outputs On Startup

If enabled, all outputs and surfaces will be reset to match the current desktop output configuration of your system. Recommended if you run a project on different hardware scenarios.

Use Watch Dog

If enabled, VERTEX will monitor this process and restart if not responding.
