This worked when I used ParaView as the server, the server used  
“’ pv\_protocols. ParaViewWebStartupRemoteConnection '” successfully connected to the pvserver,  
Is this distributed rendering also work when using VTK as the server? I observed that the VTK as a server  
protocol has no corresponding function.

Only ParaView is meant to deal with data and rendering distribution.
