Hayesse Posted July 11, 2022 Report Share Posted July 11, 2022 Hello All, Appologies if this topic has already been discussed. I did a forum search and did not find any useful results. I am attempting to program an installation that runs a series of time based triggers and media files. Is there a way to program control cues to fire at a specific time of day? Thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator jfk Posted July 11, 2022 Moderator Report Share Posted July 11, 2022 No, WATCHOUT does not offer time of day triggers. Typically that type of trigger is left to control systems. (Dataton WATCHNET offers time of day triggering of WATCHOUT). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dataton Partner RBeddig Posted July 12, 2022 Dataton Partner Report Share Posted July 12, 2022 Well, we have done this years ago with WATCHOUT 4 when the promised show control system never arrived in time. We had to power up 60 players in the morning and put them to sleep in the evening. Our work-around was to use a looping auxiliary timeline with a length of 23:59:59. The timeline was aligned to the current real time when started. Of course, the accuracy is not good enough if you need to start things at a certain second of the day but if it is not that critical it can work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
