Thank you Mike! I looked at what I got over Wireshark, and I noticed that the projector was sending its connection acknowledgment (PJLINK 0) after I had already sent the data stream. I threw together an Isadora patch that would breakup the connection, message, and termination. I found that when I stepped through the 3 under .05 seconds sequentially, i got the same problem as Watchout; when I raised it to 1 second sequentially, it worked just fine (Wireshark gave me 0.119 secs between connection start and the connection acknowledgement). So the question now is how can I break up an output message or slow down an output message in Watchout? Or do I need to leave an IP sending and receiving max/izzi patch running in the background / some other outside of Watchout solution?

Hi All, So I've got a strange problem I haven't encountered before. I've got 3 panasonic DZ870's that I'm trying to send PJLink shutter and power controls to. I've successfully tested the connection and commands on my personal laptop with Netcat, but when I run the same command from Watchout, it runs the command... and then does not respond to any other command. when I go back into Netcat, it fails to connect. I've left it sitting for 15 minutes to see if the connection would reset, but nothing changes. I'm locked out of any commands until I disable PJLink in the projector and re-enable it. for example, I'm setting an output with a TCP connection to the projector at 10.10.10.201, port 4352. I drop it in the timeline and give it the message "%1AVMT 31$0D". Later in the timeline (30 seconds or so) I drop in the connection again and give it the message "%1AVMT 31$0D". I run the timeline. the shutter closes when it hits the first command, but will not reopen, and will not respond to any AVMT, POWR, or query commands, nor a connection request from Netcat, until resetting the PJLink option in the projector. I thought it might be a projector issue, but it works just fine with Netcat (until I run a command from Watchout). I've dumped my show, i've tried other commands, running it in and out of tasks, I've restarted computers. it does the same thing if the first command is something else (power off, power on, open shutter). Sending the projector to standby does not fix it, but pulling power does. I couldn't find a similar issue in the forums; Anyone encounter a problem like this before, or have a possible solution? -Bryan

Hey, I'm struggling to get a live feed working into Watchout and I'm running out of ideas. I'm taking a sony CX130 out 1080i 59.94 to a Black magic SDI converter, which is plugged into a BM Decklink Studio 2 SDI in for a watchout machine with 2 outputs. Media Express finds the signal just fine, but the live feed media object in Watchout remains blank. I have the Decklink studio capture set to live-in 1 on the display computer, and on the production computer I have have set the target device to 1, SDI video, input 1, video standard 1080 59.94. I've tried interlacing, switching recognized HD resolutions, everything I can think of. It doesn't seem to be a computer/camera/converter issue, since I'm getting it at Media Express. Help! I didn't see anything like this in the forums, so hopefully I'm not repeating a solved issue. Thanks, Bryan
