I'm a newbie to winVNC and a musician, I want to use winVNC to control a shuttle XPC (running my audio software) from an inexpensive laptop (actually free). I would use this for my live music rig which would allow me to have the power of a desktop machine in the XPC but not have to bring a large monitor or buy an expensive rackmount monitor/keyboard to control/monitor it. All audio would be coming out of the XPC through a firewire connetion to a MOTU 828mkII (a firewire audio interface), I'm not streaming the audio through the VNC connection.
I have been running some test to see what the CPU load is of the winVNC server. This is of utmost importance to me because on the same machine that the winVNC server is running will be the audio software which tends to use a lot of CPU power. Currently I have winVNC server running on a laptop with XP pro installed, when the laptop is connected to my vnc viewer running on my win2000 desktop I'm seeing 45 - 75% CPU loads from the winVNC server on the laptop. The only other software that's running on the laptop is Ableton's LIVE (my audio software), this is using only 10 - 25% of the CPU load. So as you can see I'm getting dangerously close to maxing out my CPU's power and winVNC seems to be the major source. Should winVNC be using so much CPU power, or am I doing something wrong? The audio software I'm running is not very graphically intense and there aren't that many screen updates so all the more reason why the CPU load shouldn't be so high. Any advice is most welcome! If you need more information about my setup just let me know and I will be happy to give you as many details as I can. thanks, Kevin McPeak [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- www.brothersean.com _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
