e2 protocol WO and Eventmaster 2

[Alex Ramos]

Hello,

Has anyone successfully controled Eventmaster by sending a string output directly from WO to E2?

Eventmaster works with JSON format messages.

If so can you point me on the right direction, please.

Thanks

I found this rather good description of the E2 protocol:

https://barcoprdwebsitefs.azureedge.net/barcoprdfs/Data/secure/downloads/tde/Active/ProductFiles/TechnicalNotes/TDE11446_00_Note.pdf?ZgdW9xEUnXbBaoX2XvdFFaTmdq9uJZj-PbbCrUZKZJkf1uCfmewLNAQt_6fm93cMIz6S8F9uOgeLCKt6RC7gdtXhP6bu

The E2 expects a HTTP POST request with JSON data. WO can do a plain TCP command. So you would have to fashion a TCP package that mimics a HTTP POST (likely including the ContentLength header). I'm still not sure that would actually work, but it may be worth trying.

Another option is to stick something in between WO and E2, that's comfortable dealing with both, such as PIXILAB Blocks. If this is really all you need to accomplish in terms of "control", you could perhaps have something whipped up in python, node.js, or similar low-level tool to act as an intermediary.

Thanks I'm aware of this document, my doubt was on the WO side, if the string could send more elaborated commands.

I guess I will cook some middle man app to send the JSON commands.

 

Thanks

I always recall EM presets from watchout timeline.

If you intend to do a preset #1 recall and autotrans you can send this TCP message to your E2 to port 9878

PRESET -a 1$0D

 

Hope it helps

You're the best.
