<dfn>Advanced Setup (remote video server)</dfn> can be used when the setup
is more complex than opening a local file with Ardour. The tools used behind
the scene by Ardour allow a lot of flexibility, so for a competent user,
the options below are provided to access a distant file (i.e. on another
machine). The default options for the two following fields ("http://localhost:1554"
and "/") are suitable for local files.

through the network (<code>http://IP-or-address:port</code>).

i.e. the files that can be delivered by the server.

that will send notes to tiggers boxes in the Cue window. This is typically
a grid controller like monome, Novation Launchpad, Ableton Push etc.
