Running Compere with the full graphical user interface and controls is CPU intensive. The Linux CPU in each Juggler runs a version of Compere without the UI, and also drives the front panel display for information and with a limited set of touch controls.
There can be a case for using a PC with a lower than recommended specification as a Project Group server, but not as a control PC with the full UI. The PC becomes part of the Project Group and is addressable by external control commands, just as any Juggler.
By running Compere with these additional arguments, it will run from the PC system tray. (Create a shortcut and add these arguments after the .exe command.)
C:\7thSense\compere\compere.exe networkserver mingui systemtray
Add a shortcut key or run at startup as required. Compere in its reduced form will be run from the system tray, right-click the icon to quit. There is no further user interaction.
Installation of Compere is otherwise the same as for the full user interface for a control PC:
