Network control for WO


Alex Ramos

Recommended Posts

Ive been using visual basic to control WO.

The control app sends UDP messages.

Every thing great regarding sending the commands to production and display nodes, they execute all given commands.

But how to get the reply and error messages feedback ?

Even when using "[4] run" I gent no reply. Is the reply display node coming to the same 3039 port ? 

 

I see on user manual page 257 that we can use TCP, but I only made it to work with UDP.

 

Any help appreciated

Thanks

You need to use TCP rather than UDP in order to get replies. TCP provides a reliable bi-directional communication path needed for the kind of command/response mechanism you want. UDP is one-way only, and unreliable, so it's not well suited to this communication pattern.

Thanks Mike,

 

I got it working with TCP and reply is working as well.

What I need now is a list of all raw text control commands for the production and the display node.

The list on the user manual is very in complete.

 

So far I got:

Ping

authenticate

load

run

halt

killgotoTime

gotoControlCue

enableLayerCond

standBy

reset

setInput

delay

wait

serialPort

timecodeMode

list Shows

getAuxTimelines

getControlCues

 

I can see that watchMan API as more, can you please share all possible commands 

 

Thanks

Alex
