Watchout Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 Hello, I am controlling a watch out cluster with Crestron and want to know if there is any way to get timecode info so I can put it on a touchpanel. Is there a command I can query to get timecode to my control processor? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dataton Partner RBeddig Posted April 16, 2020 Dataton Partner Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 Yes, it is possible to get some sort of timecode from WATCHOUT though it is not a permanent stream. Normally you would subscribe to a getStatus command. It will send you the current timcode positioin of a timeline in ms in certain intervals. See attached PNG for more details. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the reply, so do I have to convert the milliseconds into timecode? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Fahl Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 The data received back by this subscription mechanism provides a very accurate time position. The Status message carries three parameters: The name of the timeline. The run mode, where 1 is paused and 2 is playing. The current time position, in mS. WO will notify you whenever there's an abrupt change. Based on those updates, you can extrapolate the current time position at any instant.

May I ask where the "Example 3" comes from? In the WO Users' Guide the getStatus command is documented only in its parameter-less form. I'd really like to take a look to more in-deep documentation, is that possible? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orf Quarenghi Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 Some questions on the getStatus command: - what do the first parameter do? - In the answer from WO, 2nd parameter is for stopped/playing/paused, 3rd is the position in msecs, what is the 4th? The time since WO power on? - How do I unsubscribe from the getStatus stream? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
