Appendices > Appendix F: Command Line Switches

These switches can be sent to the server application to modify its startup behaviour. Enter them in the Target box of a shortcut.

Server (affects this run only)

minimized	Show the server dialog and playback window minimized.
minimizedialog	Show the server dialog minimized.
fullscreen	Show the playback window fullscreen.
delay n	Delay the server startup for n seconds
smpte_on	Enable tracking SMPTE
smpte_off	Disable tracking SMPTE
nopool	Do not look for pool resources on disk on startup

GUI

group N	Force DeltaGUI to accept only connections from group N
selectgroup	Force DeltaGUI to show a dialog on start to select the single group to allow connections from.

Note that when starting DeltaGUI with no command line parameters, any other instance of DeltaGUI will be terminated on that PC. However, if you run with Group N or selectgroup command line parameters, this will not happen, so on the same PC you can have one DeltaGUI on Group 3 and another on Group 6 and so on.
