Hello Tim,
Now I have done three differents grids for every camera but I don't know how can I do a general grid with the presets of all 3 cams in Dashboard. I have the grid but now I'm trying to use with Companion. I don't know how can I merge it in Dashboard. From Dashboard works me the buttons but with companion doesn't.
Regrads,

Hi Enric,
I have not used Companion software before. You will have to try it out. From your screenshot, it looks fine. You should be able to put the IP of your PC into the Switcher Frame/Xpression IP section and in the Switcher Frame/Xpression Port you would use the port number you would use 5555 (or whatever you chose). It is still GPI, so I don't see why it would not work.

Hi Enric,
I have not used Companion. I visited their website, and it looks like it will work, but you would have to try it. I started watching the video posted on their website and it does list RossTalk as compatible, so it looks like it should work.

Click Apply.
Okay, now we will set the trigger ID for your first button. Select your first button (circled in green) and in the Trigger ID: area enter 0 (circled in green).

Awesome! I see I spelled ROSS as POSS on the interface. We can fix that and set up the StreamDeck now.
To fix the name, go into PanelBuilder Edit Mode. Select the tab at the top circled in red.
Then in your EnricTest2.grid tab double click anywhere to bring us into the coding area. Highlight your label (circled in red below) and then correct the name (circled in green below). Click Apply and Close at the bottom of the screen.
Now let's get the StreamDeck working. Okay, so go back into PanelBuilder Edit Mode. Highlight your robot this time (circled in green). Then pick a number to enter in the Internal RossTalk GPI Listener. For this example I used 5555. You can use this number too.

Hi Enric, yes of course. I thought Holly had been helping you. I do not have access to a StreamDeck XL, but it should work the same as a smaller version of StreamDeck.
Did you get the xml I sent you? Are you able to use the custom panel we created? This needs to work before we can go further.

Hi Enric,
Custom panels are a bit new to me - sorry! Attached is a link to the .xml that Dashboard is looking for. Place this file in the same location as your .grid please and try again.

Hi Enric,
Sorry for the delay. It took me a while to figure this out. I believe the ID you chose (10) is the problem. I set the buttons up to look for ID 99. Also, I discovered the first button was not configured correctly. Possibly it did not save. Either way, I've made changes to the .grid. Please try this new one.

Hello Tim,
Your first question, Do you have control of the robot in Dashboard? Try moving the crosshairs left/right or up/down and see if the robot moves
Yes I can,
For the second question I attach the picture with the information.
Thank you,

Hi Enric,
I would have been very surprised if it worked first time. I guessed at most of the values being used. I need you to check two things please.
- Do you have control of the robot in Dashboard? Try moving the crosshairs left/right or up/down and see if the robot moves.

Hi Enric,
This is perfect. Well done! Yes, with Dashboard it's a little bit different than SmartShell. In Dashboard you select what you want to do first, and then select the preset. It looks like you have 3 category tabs for presets. The Default tab has 5 presets in it.
Now you need to create a custom Dashboard Panel. To save you some time, I have created one for you, but you will still need to edit it so it sees your robots. I created it with 5 preset buttons, just like in the photo you uploaded. Save this file in your C:/Dashboard folder. I usually create a new folder called myPanels and save any thing I create in there.
In DashBoard, select the File Navigator tab. Click on the + and then locate the .grid you just downloaded entitled EnricTest.grid. If you created a new folder you will need to pick the entire folder.
You should see the EnricTest.grid now. Double click it and you will see the example template I made for you. I copied your numbering and durations. Now we need to point these presets and your CAM1.
Click the PanelBuilder Edit Mode tab at the top of Dashboard.
Your EnricTest.grid is now in edit mode (you'll see faint gridlines appear)
Double click anywhere in the grid and it will bring up a new window. This is where we will add your devices (robots). Make sure you have the upper most area highlighted/selected.
Click Device
Enter a Name and ID. I used CAM1 for both.
Select the checkbox for openGear or Xpression DataLinq and then Click Configure
Make sure to click on the Select device bullet
Find your CAM1 in the list and then Select OK
Select Apply and Close
Select PanelBuilder Edit Mode. This will take you out of PanelBuilder mode (gridlines disappear)
You now have a custom panel. The 5 buttons on this panel are all pointed at your CAM1. Be careful! If you click on "1" you should see preset 1 start to RUN so your robot will begin to move!
Give this a try and let me know how you do. We may need to change the IDs on the presets to match your external IDs in SmartShell. If this works, then the next step is to get the SteamDeck going! Good luck!
Find your CAM1 in

Hello Tim,
We are using Cambot with BFE as Boradcast controller. I send you some pictures where you can see tha differents Cams detected and you can see the differents shot we have stored but we can't access.
I'm expecting to your guide in this process.
Thank you

Hi Enric,
I'm posting here to keep things public so that others may benefit. I have been able to test and was successful in using the StreamDeck to fire off presets through Dashboard. It takes quite a bit of work to set up and requires a custom DashBoard panel to make it work.
Step 1 would be to install Dashboard.
Step 2 add your robots to Dashboard and ensure you have control of them there through the Remote Control. Let's just add 1 for now to keep things uncomplicated.
After installing Dashboard select the + symbol and then scroll through the list until you see Robots > Ross PT Head
Select NEXT. Enter the IP of the robot. This part is a bit tricky. If you are running Cambot, then you would enter the IP of the Robotic Server. If you are running Furio, then the IP is the address assigned to the robot. What type of robot are you using?
Example using a Furio:
Select FINISH. You should see your robot appear in the Basic Tree View on the left under Ross robotics. Expand the tree until you see Remote Control. If done correctly you should see it come up green.
Once you get to this point let me know and we will continue from here. If you cannot get the robot to go green I may have to remote into your system and take a look at your config files. The IP for the robot can be tricky sometimes.

Hello Enric,
My apologies for the delay. Quite a few people have been absent due to schools being closed for a week because of holiday March Break.
I honestly have never tried what you are attempting to do, but it does seem like it would be possible. I have a StreamDeck available that I can try. Let me perform a few different tests and see if I can get it to work.
You are correct in having the RossTalk application installed. I am not familiar with Bitfocus Companion but I will educated myself on this. Please give me until the end of this week (or sooner) to provide you with a proper answer.
Thank you,
Tim

Hello,
I'm interested in use the Stream Deck to recall diferents shots from Cambot. We have Smart Shell but I think that with Smart Shell it doesn't possible and I will try to use Dashboard to do it. How can I do it? I have the Rosstalk plug in intalled in Stream Deck and I can use the Bitfocus Companion if it's work. Could you help me?
