topherbb Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 Hi, I need to set up Watchout to be cued from a lighting console. The console can't send a MIDI signal without expensive extra equipment, but it can send either an OSC or UDP signal. I'm very new to both of these protocols - is there a way for Watchout to hear an OSC or UDP signal and use that to trigger a cue on the main timeline? Thank you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zackboyd Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 What lighting console are you using? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Pfeifer Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 You can send OSC messages via TCP or UDP. The WO production computer can be controlled with TCP or UDP, but can not (yet?) understand the OSC protocol. The commands WO understands are documented in the Production Computer Protocol. The commands for WO Display Computers are nearly the same and documented in the Control Protocol. Martin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dataton Partner RBeddig Posted August 25, 2017 Dataton Partner Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 Hi, You can not use OSC to control WATCHOUT but UDP can be used to control the programming software WATCHMAKER in a WATCHOUT setup. This is usually what you would like to control in a live show environment. You need to enable this under preferences. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member paolino Posted August 25, 2017 Member Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 the best way in this case is to use TCP or UDP protocol. For exemple you can create in TASK Windows a new AUX timeline with the name 01 to start this AUX timeline you can only send this commane: run "01"\r to production ip port 3040. Can you test it with packetsender ( https://packetsender.com ) very important, remember to activate on production computer under preference > control, TCP or UDP or both 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaihind Yadav Posted July 18, 2022 Report Share Posted July 18, 2022 My only question is can we trigger OSC signal in watch out or not. If yes then how and if NO then why... and what is other solutions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
