Johnny Posted April 19, 2020 Report Share Posted April 19, 2020 I'm programming a fixed installation where I make tween curves in tasks that gets output over ArtNet, and then goes back into Watchout to control parameters on other media. This works great when running on a production computer, but not at all when running standalone. Am I missing a setting somewhere? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dataton Partner Michael Posted April 20, 2020 Dataton Partner Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 Do you mean it is not working at all or it slow? Which devices are the ArtNet? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Posted April 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 It’s not working at all when I’m running without a production computer, the ArtNet that should loop back into Watchout is either not being transmitted or received. I’m not controlling any other ArtNet devices. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator jfk Posted April 20, 2020 Moderator Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 It all depends on how you start the show on the display computer. If you open the show from an online production computer, ArtNet will not work on a standalone display. You must open the show from the display computer. This can be done with a startup script, or it can be done from IP control. The key command in either startup script or IP control is load . You must successfully execute a load command to establish a display computer as a "master", even if the show is already open on said display computer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Posted April 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 The show loads fine from the startup script, and I'm able to trigger timelines from our control system via IP control. It is the "variable hack" (using outputs in tween expressions via ArtNet) that's not working. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
