V-LAN is a universal machine control network that allows computer control of professional video equipment. All communication to V-LAN is via a serial port with 2-byte ASCII code commands. V-LAN is external to the computer and can control up to 31 devices. V-LAN is truly frame accurate and therefore ideal for frame animation, editing, or multimedia. A setup for animation would need to include a V-LAN transmitter (the V-LAN transmitter is built into Silicon Graphics VideoFramer or VideoCreator) and one V-LAN receiver (user needs to specify the machine type).
