Geist VLC works by projecting a stream of non-human readable characters in rapid succession via the local display that can be interpreted from a mobile device camera and translated into a human readable format. This allows significantly more information from the PDU to be displayed in a more legible manner than the simple LED display can achieve. The mobile device (phone or tablet) can save this information and/or push it to then layer on significant additional capabilities such as logging into a local or central database. This level of information would normally only be available over a units web interface or via software provided the device settings and IP address were configured. No prior configuration is required to access this data over VLC. The benefit of being able to populate a racks power consumption and sensor data at a quick scan is enjoyed by all who have physical access to the rack and want a quick summary of the unit, whether it be an IT manager, systems administrator, installers, commissioners, data center customers, etc.
