joeartist Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 I am working with WO 5 and trying to send TCP commands to 2 Christie DHD800 projectors, but getting no response from the projectors. Sending Command: C0D$0D & C0E$0D on Port 3002 I also tried sending: Commands: SHUT1$0D & SHUT0$0D SHU0$0D & SHU1$0D Port 3001 and 10000 When I use telnet I have no problems sending the command C0D and C0E, (shutter mute and un-mute) Any thoughts on why the projectors are not seeing the TCP command when sending through WO? The network manual mentioned that the connection will be closed after 30 seconds. Do I need to send a command to open the port first and then send the shutter command? Thanks!

Vollmers Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 Try to replace the end part of the syntax "$0D" with "$00" It just means that you send the command and don't get a reply. I was stuck in a similar situation, and that did the trick. Best regards Christian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboyclint Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 I've used (SHU0) for close on port 3002 for some Christies. (SHU1) for open. The Parentheses are required. No Carriage return needed. (PWR1) on and (PWR0) off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeartist Posted October 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 I have successfully been able to control the Christie DHD800 projector from WO. Here is what I did: Port 10000 TCP control First String Command 0.300 from start of the aux timeline. Sending: Password and carriage return 0000$0D Second String Command 0.600 from start of aux timeline. Sending: Control command and carriage return C0D$0D Worked with no flaws. Here are the commands: C0D - Close Shutter C0E - Open Shutter Hope this helps people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RBeddig Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 When I get stuck with some control codes I always use a Telnet program, e.g. Hyperterminal, Putty,... to check the communication to the device. I do this from the production computer to see that the communication is not blocked somewhere in the system. Once the commands work from the Telnet program I use the same from WATCHOUT and usually I can make it work this way. The benefit of using a Telnet program is that you can also see the responses sent from the device you're trying to control. This sometimes gives you valuable hints too.

The benefit of using a Telnet program is that you can also see the responses sent from the device you're trying to control. This sometimes gives you valuable hints too. x2 very sound advice Just remember whenever you hit the key in Telent you add $0D (hex value for carriage return) in the WATCHOUT string. Using Telnet also makes it easier to communicate and solve issues with the controlled device's manufacturer's support. They usually know little about WATCHOUT (nor should they) but they all understand Telnet communication. On Production Computer I use Windows 7 built-in command line Telnet. Windows 7 standard command line Telnet is always on the comptuer, but can be disabled - Windows default. It can be re-enabled without any external media, no external connection via Control Panels - Programs & Features - [Turn Windows features on or off] once the list populates, scroll down and check [Telnet client] At Start - All Programs - Accessories - Command Prompt type telnet there is a space between telnet and IP address and a space between IP address and port number and you should connect, allowing you to type commands to test. Note, the Windows Telnet tool sends every key as its hit, i.e. there is no backspace. So if you make an error in typing, hit enter to error and clear - start again. Backspace will appear to work on screen, but the device typically just sees the backspace as another keystroke and does not backspace in its buffer. BTW My favorite Telnet test tool is MacOS built in Terminal application. Type the MacOS Terminal command to start Telnet the exact same as the Windows Telnet example above. The difference is, MacOS Terminal / Telnet does not send each keystroke as it is typed, it buffers them and sends the entire line as a block when return is hit. i.e. you can backspace you can also copy and paste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
