When started for the first time Cinegize looks as follows:

Initial_screen

The following controls are available here:

  • Sharing – in the "ON" position this slider is used for working in host mode, while client mode requires the slider to be in the "OFF" position.

    Note
    		 Sharing is only supported when Cinegize is running in application mode, so it is disabled in service mode.
    Note
    		 When switching from client to host mode, all active connections will be terminated and you will be warned about this by a corresponding message.

  • This machine – indicates the name or IP address of the currently operated machine.

  • Temp session key – a randomly generated session key used for access to the currently operated machine.

  • Remote machine – the indication of the remote machine name or IP address, as well as a public alias.

    Note
    		 When a public alias is used for remote connections, add @ to the name (e.g., cinegy-server@).
    Tip
    		 The drop-down list contains names / IP addresses of the most recently connected clients, with their individual configurations preserved.

  • Password – a key to connect to the remote machine in client mode. This can be either a temporary key valid for the current Cinegize session or a long-term key specified for service mode.
