SNAIDO Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Hi, Happy to Join all you experts on this forum. This is Snaido Davis. I am a little new to using Watchout. I would like to know about controlling a switcher controller (Barco Screenpro HD2 Controller) which is connected to a hub via CAT6 to which my watchout pcs are also connected. I have assigned the presets to say 6 buttons on my switcher controller. How do I call them or activate them from watchout? I presume that i should be adding a string output through TCP to the ip address of the switcher controller. Please advise me on the port number and the Data that I should pass to the switcher to activate my switcher preset. Thanks in advance for your help. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Dannert Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Hi Snaido, This a Barco question, no? In order to send something to the Barco Screenpro HD2 Controller, you'll need the protocol of commands, ports etc, for that device. I could not find it in their User manual. But it might be included here: http://www.barco.com/en/support/software/08-0407005-00/02/32/07/00/screenpro-ii.aspx It's called "ScreenPRO II External Control Protocol Rev 1.00.pdf" Then you create a String output over TCP/IP in WATCHOUT, maybe put it on an Auxiliary Timeline. /jonas 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Dannert Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 This is the protocol document you searched for, I think. The same pdf is present in the most recent installer. (available after installation) /jonas ScreenPRO-II - v01.22.00.00 Release notes (Read carefully before installing this software) NEW FEATURES A ScreenPRO II / PresenationPRO II Keypress GUI has been included with this software release. Using this application, a computer can connect to either product via Ethernet and perform simple input selection actions. All input, output and system setup functions are performed from the Front Panel and are not accessible from the GUI. A keypress command has been added to the ScreenPRO II protocol. This command allows a remote control application emulate usage of the front panel. See "ScreenPRO II External Control Protocol Rev 1.00.pdf" included with this bundle for more information. IMPROVED FUNCTIONALITY When SDI inputs were set as "External" route mode via the ScreenPRO II Controller, the input connector routed to a layer would not be remembered after a power cycle. This issue has been addressed in this release. Corrected an issue in which the Frame Grab menu would go blank after performing a frame grab save. Added the following Output Resolutions: 1920x1080p@23.98 1920x1080p@24 EOC Output Resolution support now includes: 1920x1080p@23.98 1920x1080p@24 1920x1080psF@23.98 1920x1080psF@24 Version: v01.22.00.00 Release date: woensdag, 02 april 2008 http://www.barco.com/tde/(0322090860580490)/Downloads/BPP/Software/FLASH/08-0407005-00_09_Flash.zip ScreenPRO II External Control Protocol Rev 1.00.pdf 26-0407000-00 Rev B, ScreenPRO-II User Guide.pdf 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxav Daniel Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 Hi Problem solved?
