For some devices not direct accessible by V-Control, we provide TCP connectors. A TCP connector is a piece of software that controls the device native and provides a network interface to connect to other software products such as V-Control. | For some devices not direct accessible by V-Control, we provide TCP connectors.

- | So the TCP connector does all the communication with a device internally and provides a simple control protocol via network to communicate with V-Control. This also has the advantage that devices not available via network now network controllable. The V-Control connector is running on a computer where the device is connected to (typically via USB). This can be the same machine where V-Control is running, but doesn't have to. | + | The TCP connector does all the communication with a device internally and provides a simple control protocol via network to communicate with V-Control.

So if you need to control a midi device for example, and this device is far away from your V-Control machine, then you can use an additional computer with a MIDI interface and the V-Control Connector software installed near the MIDI device. V-Control then opens a TCP connection to this machine and from V-Controls point of view this is the MIDI interface. | So if you need to control a midi device for example, and this device is far away from your V-Control machine, then you can use an additional computer with a MIDI interface and the V-Control Connector software installed near the MIDI device.
