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)

-minimizedialog	Show the server dialog minimized.
-hidedialog	Hide the server dialog
-minimize	Minimize the playback window on startup
-fullscreen	Make the playback window fullscreen on startup
-hide	Hide the playback window on startup
-delay n	Delay the server startup for n seconds
-nopool	Do not look for pool resources on the disk at startup

DeltaServer (changes also stored for next run)

-leader	Change the current mode to Leader
-follower	Change the current mode to Follower.
-group n	Change the current group to n
-smpte_on	Enable SMPTE tracking
-smpte_off	Disable SMPTE tracking

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. An "X" close window button is also available in that dialog, which when pressed opens DeltaGUI with traditional connection to all available servers.

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.
