Appendices > Appendix F: Command Line Switches

Listed in DeltaServer and in DeltaGUI > Help > 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.

DeltaServer (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
-nopool	Do not look for pool resources on disk at startup

DeltaServer (changes also stored for next run)

-master	Change the current mode to master
-slave	Change the current mode to slave.
-group n	Change the current group to n
-smpte_on	Enable tracking SMPTE
-smpte_off	Disable tracking SMPTE

DeltaGUI

-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.
