Controlling Panasonic Shutters

[Christopher Blair]

For the past couple of years I've been using a program called Projector MIDI Remote as a way to control the shutters on Panasonic projectors through QLab. Unfortunately, when I looked to download it onto a new machine, I found that the website is no longer operating. Does anyone know either how to download the program or another program that can do the same thing?

Thanks

Use Script Cue:

ON PROJETOR

set myFile to (POSIX path of (path to temporary items)) & "curl_downloaded_file.xml"

do shell script "curl -L " & "http://admin1:pana...@192.168.0.3/cgi-bin/sd95.cgi?cm=0200a13d0103" & " -o " & myFile

OFF PROJETOR

set myFile to (POSIX path of (path to temporary items)) & "curl_downloaded_file.xml"

do shell script "curl -L " & "http://admin1:pana...@192.168.0.3/cgi-bin/sd95.cgi?cm=0200a13d0203" & " -o " & myFile

OPEN LENS

set myFile to (POSIX path of (path to temporary items)) & "curl_downloaded_file.xml"

do shell script "curl -L " & "http://admin1:pana...@192.168.0.3/cgi-bin/sd95.cgi?cm=0200a1910203" & " -o " & myFile

CLOSE LENS

set myFile to (POSIX path of (path to temporary items)) & "curl_downloaded_file.xml"

do shell script "curl -L " & "http://admin1:pana...@192.168.0.3/cgi-bin/sd95.cgi?cm=0200a1910103" & " -o " & myFile

IMPORTANT:

IN THE SCRIPT PLACE THE PROJECTOR'S  IP AND PASSWORD IF THERE IS.

NORMALLY THE PANASONIC STANDARD PASSWORD IS: ADMIN1

COPY THE SCRIPT AND PLACE IN THE SCRIPT CUE OF THE QLAB.

If using more than one projector scripting shutter controls can be problematic. You may find that executing a script to shutter 1 projector might disrupt the video going to others. Similarly using a timed shutter on newer Panasonic projectors to fade to absolute black might have a similar problem

Things improve if you run the script in a separate process but you still might get a glitch.

I use ProjectorManager - https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/projectormanager/id950244656?mt=12

Works like a charm, provides projector/lamp status, and has really simple AppleScript commands.

Hi I'm using this exact curl script to turn on/off a Panasonic projector. It works perfectly. I have 115 of cat5e cable running to the projector from our A/V cart. But is it true that this script only works with older OSs? I'm still on Yosemite and I'm worry about updating the OS for fear that it might mess things up.

I don't think there is any reason it shouldn't work with all OSs.

You can try other OSs by installing them on an extrrnal drive and using that to boot with before committing to updating your primary drive.

I own two DW750's and control their shutter / powerup via artnet from Qlab 3... The free version is enough as there are only two fixtures.
