  • Record the serial number and MAC address
• Create a new room and load the ShowRunner™ License as the User File for the room
  • ShowRunner™ license requires the Room ID and Room Name, as well as the MAC address 

Accessing the ShowRunner™ Console

To access the ShowRunner™ console, connect to the VC-4 with PuTTY or another text console, log in to Linux, and then run the command telnet 127.0.0.1 50001

This command will open a telnet session with the ShowRunner™ program running on the VC-4, enabling the use of typical "sr" commands. To leave the ShowRunner™ console and close the telnet application, press the escape character '^]' ('ctrl+]'), type "quit", and then press enter.

Accessing the ShowRunnerHUB™ Web UI

The ShowRunner™ configuration should be uploaded to the processor using the ShowRunnerHUB™ web UI. It is not possible to access the ShowRunnerHUB™ web UI by directly navigating to the IP address of the VC-4 server, instead it is necessary to navigate to the following URL: https://vc-4ip/VirtualControl/Rooms/ROOMID/cws/showrunner/app/ (Bold portions should be modified with your specific IP and Room ID, DO NOT OMIT THE LAST "/")

VC-4 Currently does NOT serve the XPANEL:
The XPanel does not launch from the ShowRunnerHUB webpage. To access the XPanel, extract the VTZ file from the ShowRunnerCLC™ puf file and launch. Select Options>Host Settings and input the Host IP, IPID, Port 41794, check SSL, enter the Room ID, and Open. Type in the username and password (if applicable) and wait for the XPanel to connect.
