Frame Simulator

The frame simulator uses a VM VirtualBox Virtual Machine to run the Carbonite Black software application. The simulator cannot pass video, but can be used to create offline switcher sets, prepare for upcoming shows, or training.

The simulator must be used along with DashBoard, similar to a physical frame. The simulator provides the frame software and DashBoard the menu interface.

Keep the following in mind:

Keep the following in mind when working with the frame simulator:

  • The simulator uses DHCP to obtain an IP address. If a DHCP server is not available you will not be able to connect to the simulator from DashBoard.
  • The IP address assigned to the simulator is shown at the top of the simulator window and is the IP address that you will use to connect to from DashBoard.
  • The simulator and DashBoard must be on the same subnet.
