Controlling a HyperDeck Studio

[Alexander R. Taylor]

Hello all,

In my ongoing quest to have everything for the meetings I film automated through QLab, I'm at the point now of automating the recording of our video on a HyperDeck Studio.  This box has published protocols for ethernet control, and I have it working through nc in the terminal.

The problem comes in when I try to use QLab to send raw UDP messages via the OSC command.  It turns out that the HyperDeck uses TCP, not UDP for it's control.  If I use nc 10.10.83.99 9993 things work fine, but if I do nc -u 10.10.83.99 9993, I don't get anything.  I don't really care about the responses it sends back at this point, is there a way of simply having (tricking?) QLab to send TCP?  I know a full implementation of this would involve many other response handling, but having something simple would solve my current need.  I hope someone has a suggestion!

Thanks,

Alexander

If you're using nc in QLab, that's a Script cue, not an OSC cue. So, I'm a bit confused by what you have above. It sounds like you'd do best with a script cue with a "do shell script" sending the nc message. Adding the -u flag to nc forces it to UDP instead of the default TCP, so that's the problem there.

Oh I hadn't thought of that.  I was trying to use the OSC cue to just send the raw UDP string.  I was just using nc as an example of what I tried and worked in Terminal.  I'll try it with a script cue, thanks,

I got that to work, thanks!

For those looking to do that in the future, here's the command in the Script Cue I used:

do shell script "echo record | nc 10.10.83.99 9993"

Thanks again,

Alexander

Hi Alex,

I'm trying to get this same script to work, but I keep getting the error "command exited with a non-zero status"

Any insight?

Thanks,

James

What do you get when you run that command in Terminal?
