This custom control is
responsible for the video broadcasting, as a host, and the video
playback, as a client. We had issues with the custom control in host
mode. It produced a ghost image on the screen after the GUI (graphics
user screen) was closed. This has now been corrected. Thanks to Amir
Hodzic of http://fathsoft.com for a
quick response. After testing the new custom control, I've notice a
reduction in the CPU and a quicker response time in starting the video.

This file has been
modified b the author at http://fathsoft.com to lower the CPU rate on
the host machine. Most video capture devices send video at thirty
frames per second through the USB port. My software, takes these frames
and processes them for streaming out to the Internet. The internet can
only handle ten frames per second at 640 by 480 resolution. There is
not sense in process thirty frames per second from the video capture
device if only ten frames can be streamed. So, now based on the
settings, frames are not processed bu skipped. This reduces the
CPU rate allot! REF 032706-01

I changed the source code
in the 'Disconnect' button to wait for a specified amount of time, as
determined by the variable set in the ATC.INI file called
'RecycleTimeDelay'. This make the amount of time, in seconds,
adjustable allowing the host machine to wait before starting a new
internet session, listening for a connection. The default setting is
ten seconds. REF 032706-05

The software looses the
internet connection while running the locomotive (it thinks the client
is no longer available). This is when the software is uploading a
screen capture, ATC.BMP file to the server. I've added a setting
to the ATC.INI file to pass to the FTP part of the program. This
parameter limits the connection speed of the upload. I'm hoping this
limitation will keep the host computer active, thinking the client
computer is still active. REF 010106-01
