Member Popular Post Jason Thompson Posted May 4 Member Popular Post Report Share Posted May 4 If Watchout 7 wants to find its way into regional theaters and on Broadway again, it has to include MSC. OSC drops cues. Every single show on Broadway is using MSC. It's an old protocol, but we use it because it is rock solid and it just works. I hope you reconsider this stance on MSC. OSC is not a reliable enough protocol to use to trigger in a theatrical environment and anyone using it is opening themselves to periodic cue failures. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Popular Post jfk Posted May 22 Moderator Popular Post Report Share Posted May 22 Jason, you probably noticed I took your comment from another post and pushed it into this standalone topic. It is because I agree with your take on this. In an effort to push this along, I am looking for some assistance from the community. For the purpose of testing, does anyone know of a program that could be used to generate MIDI Show Control Go cues with cue list and cue number values? The simpler the better 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator jfk Posted May 23 Moderator Report Share Posted May 23 Thanks Mike. Was that the tool used in the development of MSC in v5? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The simpler the better Hi @jfk, If you want to stay on windows = Try www.showcuesystems.com. Either the demo license which will work for 60 minutes (or 5 minutes after 30 days) or the fairly priced professional license does the job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Popular Post jme Posted June 19 Moderator Popular Post Report Share Posted June 19 Just a side note, concerning MSC. MSC is worked on at the moment and if we are lucky it will end up in the next version (7.3), but do not take this as a promise! /jme 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
