Walter Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 Not sure if TAKE 1 is the correct command for the Barco matrix but if so, data output should be TAKE 1 $0D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 Looking at manual you'd probably be better off creating presets and recalling them with the command RPRST. With the take command you can only activate the take button which means you'd have to select source and destination manually?!? What would be the benefit there?

bgillette Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 There is an old Windows-based standalone control application available from the Barco/Folsom public FTP archive... ftp://ftp.folsom.com/Image%20Processing/MatrixPRO-8x8-DVI/ You may want to try this application out as a confirmation to test connectivity from your production PC to ensure you can control the MatrixPro. I believe the application also has a command window you can use to sniff out the commands to see the structure. The application may also be useful for you to set up presets with this application, as suggested by Walter, and then use those simple Preset commands to control the switcher rather than trying to build complete Input/Output salvos in Watchout.
