[Audio mute/unmute By DMX]

Finally got some time to work on it. Thanks for your help! Got it working after some changes. 

Had some challenges with the Cluster and Online mode but its working perfect! 

 

First time using this forum and I am not disappointed😉

Thanks you both for you work! I still need to try it, but it looks good.

The only thing i am worrying about is the Online thing. 

In production mode, you must be online for this to work.  ...

The thing is the Watchpax will be used stand alone. There will not be a production computer. 

Will it work without a production computer?

No problem, not in a hurry. If you can help me before Friday it would be great. 😉

It is not a built in function, you build a custom set of functions using the available tools in WATCHOUT.

Yes, I can explain it, but before I go through that exercise, need specifics so I do not have to do it multiple times.

• WATCHOUT version you are using?

I am using watchout version 6.3.1. 

• DMX universe and channel for engage mute. Value that will be sent to trigger (easiest way is if 0 value is not active, any non-zero value is trigger, but if you need something else, please describe)

DMX channel 10 universe 0. I need to change this on site. Value 0 non active, non zero active is fine.

• DMX universe and channel for release mute. Value that will be sent to trigger  (easiest way is if 0 value is not active, any non-zero value is trigger, but if you need something else, please describe)

DMX channel 11 universe 0. I need to change this on site. Value 0 non active, non zero active is fine.

Keep in mind that you must reset to an inactive value after each trigger /  before next trigger. i.e. if 0 is inactive, then after setting a non-zero value to trigger a state change, you must return to 0 before attempting the next trigger.

Understood, we will sent DMX like a pulse for 2 sec or so. 

Understood, not needed. WATCHPAX will be sending TCP to localhost to trigger itself, no other TCP needed.

I am working at Infocomm 2019 (USA) this week, so it will take some time before I can provide that (have it by tomorrow morning).

Well I am new to Watchout and I could not find this function. our reseller did also not know the solution. Can you explain how to set up the function you describe. 

for sure: The only thing my Controller can send is DMX. I can't sent a TCP or UDP command from my controller.

I am curious why you would not control master audio mute at the audio system?

There is no audio system behind the Watchpax. it goes straight to the speakers.

??? Why? Do not set audio volume with the DMX input, simply multiply all audio tweens by the input value.

DMX is used for more than controlling the watchpax. When you want to change the volume you need to change the programming in the DMX controller. When we get a mute/unmute we can set the volume in watchpax.

That seems unnecessarily complicated. One channel at 0% for off/mute and 100% for on / unmute would make more sense would it not?

agree when possible this situation is better.

Hi all,

We need to mute and unmute all audio by DMX. 

What i know you can is with DMX controlling the complete audio volume but that is not ideal. 

I need one channel to mute the audio and one channel to unmute the audio. 

Is there a possibility to do so?
