G5 Panels Computer Control

Am I just learning that you can no longer open a VNC page from one panel to another to control that TP? Is "Computer- Control" no longer an option in G5 Panels?
What was the reason for deprecating this?

There is a VNC Client app built into G5 touch panels. In this quick screenshot, my 19" panel is VNC'd to a 10" panel. Is that what you're looking for?
And to add one extra layer, I am VNC'd to the 19" panel from my PC to get the screenshot below:
THAT is what I am looking for Rob.
Can I open a "window" in my TP5 MT-2002 file and connect to another panel on the site? That would be the simplest way to do this.
Yup, it's created by using the VNC Client app available on G5 panels. A couple things need to happen:
Set your panel's VNC settings up to allow connections. Instructions are available in the G5 Programming & Configuration Guide on AMX.com:

Create a VNC Client app window in TPDesign5. Instructions are available in the TPDesign5 Instruction Manual: https://www.amx.com/en-US/site_elements/instruction-manual-tpdesign5
The VNC Client app can be used for touch panels like shown above, or for PCs if they're running a VNC server.
Thanks Rob. I am just working out the commands now.
Good luck! If you need help with any specific commands/parameters just let us know.
How do we do this on Varia panels?
That would interest me too...
I have found the setting in the setup (enable VNC).
