Architecture

The way the Roku environment works is by using two different PCs / laptops connected to the same network.

One of them (PC-A) is going to run AIQ and is going to be used for script recording/playback.

The second one (PC-B) has a HDMI video capture device connected (with the Roku device connected to it). PC-B also runs the WindowsAppvanceServer along with the other required software applications used to display and control the Roku system.

Prerequisite Setup

PC-A (AIQ)

Properly setup AIQ on this machine. Refer to the AIQ Documentation for setup information for AIQ.

PC-B (Roku Device)

Make sure the Roku device is plugged to the HDMI capture device, and is plugged to the computer.
