  • 1.  AMP protocol

    Posted 11 days ago

    Hello! Is there any further documentation on the implementation of AMP in ogscript? The Dashboard CustomPanel Development Guide only references a function named createAMPSender() that has several methods, but no information about how to use them.

    I'm looking to create an integration for a client using ProVideoServer from Renewed Vision, and AMP seems to be the only way to get channel state and transport information. Maybe this is possible with VDCP, but I could not figure out a way.

    Any help is appreciated. Thank you so much!

    Hi Andy, 

    The ogscript function createAMPSender() will generate a number of functions to send to a device for AMP control, such as Play and Cue, though it's much simpler to use VDCP in Dashboard in my experience. 

    var amp = ogscript.createAMPSender();
    ogscript.debug(amp.play);
    ogscript.debug(amp.cue);

    The VDCP commands can be added once creating any button in edit mode of a new custom panel in Dashboard. Once a button is opened in Edit Mode, add a task and VDCP will appear on the left hand side of the menu.

    Best regards, 

    Richard

    Thank you Richard! Unfortunately I may need to stick with AMP, as I need to get transport position, and it seems like that's not possible through the app's VDCP implementation.

    Is there any information as to the arguments each function requires, as well as the format of the returned data, if any?
