[Grandma 1 triggering Watchout 5.2 thru Artnet]

JFK; 

 

   I am not fighting against MSC, although Artnet is physically and technically easier in our environment. 

 

I have completed the first process through Artnet, but I am no facing a problem. Options you can trigger using Artnet are very limited. 

 

I am now trying to use MSC thru Ethernet, but I've got not answer from Watchout Production.

 

Here is where I am now; 

 

------------------

SETTINGS ; 

 

Here are my GrandMA1 settings; 

    Under Tools/Midi Show Control; 

        Midi Out;

             Device = 1

             Group ID = 1

             Send o ALL

            Port: 21928

             Ethernet Enabled

             MSC Command: ALL

             Executor: Default

             

I am using IPMIDI on Watchout Prod with Port 1 opened. 

Disabled all the firewalls

 

 

Here are my Watchout settings; 

    Preferences; 

         Control; 

            Midi Show Control, Device ID = 1

            MSC Cue Lists: Map All To Main Timeline

 

------------------

 

Questions; 

 

1. In Watchout, which input do I use to read the MSC ?

2. In GMa1, I created a sequences which I selected to turn it Default. How am I suppose to send command using it ?

 

 

I will use Midi-OX tomorrow in order to get more infos about what is sent.

 

 

Thanks

Thanks for the wonderful replay.

 

At first, I was planning to use MSC, although, since the console and the vdo station are pretty far away from each others, i thought it would be easier to use Artnet ( video and lighting switches are in the same room. )

 

So, instead of midi over ethernet software abd bla bla bla, only a quick link would make the process works.

 

Also, if I understand what you meant, you can choose an action to a certain level in the choose channel, right? Like if 52% would be a pause.. that is it?

 

Thanks

I was ask if I could trigger the video cues on watchout, from the Ma1.

 

I know it is possible, but since i have never do it in the past, i would like to get there ready for it.

 

So far, both side are already integrated in the show, and working well. So from that, i was told to only link both network, and add a artnet controller in watchout ( which would automaticaly add the 2.x.y.z ip address ).

 

From that, how is watchout reading the dmx data in order to trigger a cue? What options do I have with artnet triggering? Can i pause or do any other actions? Does anyone have a sheet with some infos?

 

Also, anyone did that in the past and have some tips for me?

 

Thanks!
