Facility Control

Hi ... Sorry if my Question Out of Topic ...

I Show this video on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ue_q_AzK1_Y

and I'm Thinking if I can do this with https://livecode.com/ (controlling Xpression Cg with Livecode Client apps).

Is it Possible?

Thank You.

Hi Gilar.

You will have much better luck posting this question in the XPression area of the Ross Video Community.

We answer questions related to DashBoard and Custom Panels in this area.

Best of luck!

Hi Gilar,

If you were to make an app using LiveCode you would need to build a client/server workflow. The livecode app (server) sends commands to another application on the XPression (client). This is because you can't sent XPression API commands via TCP/UDP/serial. The application that is actually triggering the XPression API has to be locally installed on the Windows machine running XPression.

So it's possible, but you would have to make an app to send the triggers AND and app to receive the triggers and send API commands to XPression. The LiveCode app would not send the actual API commands.

Hi thank you James Peltzer ....

Thank you Garner ....

James ... i'll post it on Xpression forum

Garner ... If we make Xpression as client I think it is a little strange.

be cause what i want is control the Xpression from LiveCode, same as the Dashboard do ...

Sorry if I m wrong.

Gilar,

DashBoard uses the RossTalk protocol to send commands to XPression -- It does not use the XPression API which is .COM/.NET and can not be done from a remote connection -- The RossTalk protocol give lots of functionality but nothing like what you saw in the video you reference above. The other item that is utilized for lots of Data between DashBoard and XPression is via DataLinq.

Garner did kind of mix up the two Server/Client roles. Yes you would run your "server" application on the XPression Machine that your remote "Client" would connect to. That would then act as the gateway to allow these remote calls to be processed through the API.

I have play arround with CasparCG and livecode as a Client, then I checked my livecode apps to controol Xpression.
This is amazing ... that the rosstalk command is working well in livecode Apps.
Then I try to control carbonate too. and Its works like a charm. verry nice...

Maybe for some special needs livecode Application will be usefull to controll 3 Machine. Carbonate, Xpression CG, and CasparCG

for firther information about casparCG please visit http://www.casparcg.com/
This is a small apps was made by livecode that works with Xpression, CasparCG and Carbonate .... https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BwRIdA5x-OVEdzRCQkhkMXRGbEk
