Moderator jfk Posted November 10, 2020 Moderator Report Share Posted November 10, 2020 Do not know anything about this console, but a quick review of the user guide would suggest TCP/IP using a WATCHOUT output object would do what you ask. Refer to Chapter 34 Controlling MagicQ using TCP/IP 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Fahl Posted November 10, 2020 Report Share Posted November 10, 2020 Easiest way to trigger such a function on a console is usually if the console can receive DMX. Then use a DMX channel to trigger a GO. Send DMX to the console from WATCHOUT (over ArtNET, so may require an interface if the console doesn't take ArtNET right away).

Boogie Posted November 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2020 @Mike Fahl But this console not receive command by DMX. We can use Art-Net to trigger this console, but Watchout can't find Chamsys. And the question is, how we can find this lightning controler by Watchout and trigger command GO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dataton Partner RBeddig Posted November 18, 2020 Dataton Partner Report Share Posted November 18, 2020 WATCHOUT will not "find" an Art-Net device in the network. WATCHOUT sends out ArtNet data on one or more universes to any ArtNet receiver in the same network. So the first thing is to check whether the Art-Net receiver is really listening on the same network. Some lighting devices use very specific network settings and can only send Art-Net in these networks while WATCHOUT can actually send in an network, as long as the whole WATCHOUT cluster is also living in the same network. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boogie Posted November 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 @RBeddig How I can send command via Art-Net from Watchout? Or data as you write. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dataton Partner RBeddig Posted November 19, 2020 Dataton Partner Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 Under Preferences/Control you can define the standard universe for incoming and outgoing cues over DMX (Art-Net). Create an output in the output window, select the correct channel and universe and then drag the cue from the output window into your timeline. Use the tween track to fade the signal up and down. Two traps, you might fall into: 1) WATCHOUT only sends DMX values if the computer is ONLINE (dongle needed!). 2) There might be an offset of one channel or even universe since some devices count from 1-512 and others from 0-511. A good tool to check what happens in your network is the free tool Artnetominator. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
