Andy Lang posted this solution last year for M Series Christie projectors:

Hi Gregg,

The Christie's take TCP commands, so it's a simple one-line script to send those from QLab. To close the shutter, you’ll want a script cue with the following:

do shell script “echo \”(shu1)\” | nc -w 0 192.168.0.8 3002”

and then to open it:

do shell script “echo \”(shu0)\” | nc -w 0 192.168.0.8 3002”

Just wondering if this also works for the HS series?


Thanks!

It will likely work. I'm using this also on the Serie E (DHD675-E/DWU675-E/DHD775-E/DWU775-E)

Also for power ON
do shell script “echo \”(pwr1)\” | nc -w 0 192.168.0.8 3002”
And OFF
do shell script “echo \”(pwr0)\” | nc -w 0 192.168.0.8 3002”

Make sure you use the right IP address of your device instead of : 192.168.0.8

Hi, do you guys think this kind of command could work with PJLink protocol?

I'm trying to control some BenQ projectors with QLab. Lamp On and Off.

Merci Samuel.

Je vais surement finir par utiliser le ProjectorManager et du AppleScript. Ça semble être la solution la plus simple.

Je viens de l’utiliser pour un show. On éteint le projecteur avant la fin et pour le moment tout fonctionne.

Hi everyone,

Just a follow on this one for the benefit of all.

I tried the ProjectorManager app with the BenQ MH760 to send PJLink commands and as soon as the app connected to the projector the app would crash. The same would happen on 2 different computers and OS. Nothing to do here...
Seems like that projector was returning some error that would make the app crash.

Then I tried Projector Midi remote which worked but only in trial mode since we can no longer purchase licenses.

Option 3, I adapted the above shell scripts and I was successfully able to control 2 BenQ projectors via PJLink directly from QLab with script cues! :D

Here are the commands which I've tried and made work.

Close Shutter (or AV mute)
do shell script "echo \"%1AVMT 31\" | nc -w 0 192.168.1.2 4352"

Open Shutter (AV unmute)
do shell script "echo \"%1AVMT 30\" | nc -w 0 192.168.1.2 4352"

Lamp OFF
do shell script "echo \"%1POWR 0\" | nc -w 0 192.168.1.2 4352"

Lamp ON
do shell script "echo \"%1POWR 1\" | nc -w 0 192.168.1.2 4352"

And I've joined the simple workspace as well.
Enjoy!
