Helper applications add functionality to the Watchdog system. In the Dogpound server the Image Viewer currently does not offer any benefit, however the VNCviewer application allows quick access to remotely login into either a Watchdog or RenderDog workstation running the VNCserver.

Image Viewer :

This edit field defines the location for an image viewing executable. In the Dogpound server this application has no functionality.

VNC:

"VNC stands for Virtual Network Computing. It is remote control software which allows you to view and interact with one computer (the "server") using a simple program (the "viewer") on another computer anywhere on the Internet. The two computers don't even have to be the same type, so for example you can use VNC to view an office Linux machine on your Windows PC at home. VNC is freely and publicly available and is in widespread active use by millions throughout industry, academia and privately." -http://www.realvnc.com/what.html

You can download a copy of VNC here.

The Dogpound server makes use of VNC by allowing quick access to directly launch VNC to connect to the desired workstation or render node. In this edit field enter the complete path to the "vncviewer.exe" application.
