Found In Egroup: Facility Control \ view thread
Hi Andreanne, Is it possible to identify which video server is on air or in preview? And is there any more information that can be retrieved with the listener? For instance if I wanted to know what was coded in a shot could I display that as well? Thanks! ------------------------------ Mark ...

Hey Nathaniel, stacking order matters for being able to tab between items. So if you want to tab between item 1 and 2 you'll want them back to back in the running order of the panel. ------------------------------ Mark Macklin ------------------------------

On Dashboard you'll need to enable the listener under preferences: And then on the item you are trying to control add in a trigger ID: And from Streamdeck the command is GPI (Trigger ID) so if the trigger ID was TEST the command would be GPI TEST ------------------------------ ...

I am trying to ask the Acuity what the state of a key is via Dashboard, but I don't get a result back. I know how to query when doing something like XPT MLE:6:KEY:1:? but not for something like KEYSTATE 6:1. Guessing I am just missing something simple. Here is what I was trying: function callb ...

You'll need to open a port on the Vision switcher in the Communication Settings. You'll want to use RossTalk IN or RTalkIN (forget how it is labeled) usually 778 is used as the default. ------------------------------ Mark Macklin ------------------------------

Is it possible to send commands to increase and lower the brightness of the Ultritouch panel? I know you can go into the menu and manually do it but I was hoping for the option to just send a command to do it. Thanks. ------------------------------ Mark Macklin ------------------------------

Hey Anand, \n still gets read timed out. Putty gets the response like Les indicated it should. Just so you know I do query the switcher regularly for XPT information, but like you indicated that statement ends in a ? and just uses the sendMessage. Thanks for all the effort you are putting into ...

I tried this: rosstalk.sendMessageWithResponse(%const['hosts']['ACUITY.host']%, %const['hosts']['ACUITY.port']%, 'MEM ?:2', callbackFunction); But that made Dashboard unhappy and it threw an exception. And I can't really push for an upgrade since this is just me playing with something on the side. ...
