Moderator jfk Posted February 22, 2019 Moderator Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 So that device emulates an USB computer keyboard? May not be a good choice. WATCHOUT Display in cluster mode intentionally has no keyboard commands for operation, it can be controlled via many standard control methods - IP, MIDI Notes, MIDI Controller, MIDI ShowControl or timecode chase. But no keyboard control. Your only choice would be to plug it into a production computer, program it to send the numeric keypad " 0 " keystroke and trigger the timeline that way. Not the most reliable method of control, as the command is sensitive to the active window, open dialogs, etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antonio Masero Posted February 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 My idea is to control another pc with microcue3 and from there emit signal for specific control in watchout. But in definitive it must run when pressing next in microcue3 to trigger play in timeline. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, after proper initialization of the connection (authenticate and load show), if you send the run command to a watchout display computer operating in cluster mode, it should be 100% reliable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Ramos Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 If your remote controller emulates the keyboard you can use my app to Run and Kill a timeline. I coded this some time ago to use a PerfectCue as trigger for WO. Can be used to control Production Pc or the Cluster without Production. Key to WO2.rar 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I change the key? other than just T or Y. I think microcue3 is not configurable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antonio Masero Posted February 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 Hello! I have managed to use Autohotkey to make arrows to keys (T and Y) conversion. It's awesome! Now I can use microcue 3 to send commands to WO using Key to WO2. Thank you very much!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
