Facility Control

I am attempting to build a dashboard for monitor control of boland monitors. boland has released their ethernet protocol to control (boland ethernet protocol) but i have been unable to to get the control to work. wanted to see if some one had a basic script to create a button to turn a monitor off i could use as a base for working with other parameters with the monitor

Hey David- This is what you're looking for...

// rosstalk.sendAsBytes(tvIP, defaultPort, command, callback);
// This will turn off the tv.  Replace "XX" with the TV's Control ID, converted to Hex.
rosstalk.sendAsBytes("XX.XX.XX.XX", 5009, "51 42 54 4d f5 8a XX fe fe 00", null);

The longer answer...some of the commands in the documentation are written in ASCII, and some in Hex.  They all need to be converted to Hex to use the sendAsBytes() command.  I was on another GCV truck last week with David W, and we created an example Boland dashboard here:

You might want to check with him, because I know he's built it out further than the example above.  Also, keep in mind, this example dashboard only handles the 1-way communication TO the tv.  If you'd like to get status updates FROM the tv, you'd need to look into creating a Listener for 2-way communication.  A few examples of Dashboards that have listeners can be found here:
