How to control PT-RQ22K from QLab

[selfimag...@gmail.com]

Hello! I'm Tommy.

I'm working in Japan, using QLab4 and Resolume to control stage projection.

The other day, I had the opportunity to use the PT-RQ22K (Panasonic 4K laser projector) for my first time in a theater, I immediately tested the following script for controlling the projector that I usually use.

projector IP : 192.168.1.8
username : admin1

password : panasonic

Macintosh IP : 192.168.1.4
Router : 192.168.1.1

[Shutter OPEN]
set myFile to (POSIX path of (path to temporary items)) & "curl_downloaded_file.xml"
do shell script "curl -L " & "http://admin1:pana...@192.168.1.8/cgi-bin/sd95.cgi?cm=0200a1910203" & " -o " & myFile

[Shutter CLOSE]
set myFile to (POSIX path of (path to temporary items)) & "curl_downloaded_file.xml"
do shell script "curl -L " & "http://admin1:pana...@192.168.1.8/cgi-bin/sd95.cgi?cm=0200a1910103" & " -o " & myFile


Unfortunately, the RQ22K did not respond at all. (Both scripts worked well on the DZ21K, which was installed another position on the same network.)

This time, I had no choice but to use the 'ProjectorManager' app from the MacAppStore to get over the hump.

Also, when I typed directly into Safari "http://admin1:pana...@192.168.1.8/cgi-bin/sd95.cgi?cm=0200a1910103" and Return, I was able to confirm the shutter on the RQ-22K!

But...I’m hoping for a way to complete control of the RQ-22K with just the QLab's internal script cue, without using any other external apps.
I’ve already returned the PT-RQ22K, so I won't have a chance to test it with the actual machine for a while, does anyone have any ideas? Please advise.

Thank you.

As it worked from Safari directly, I assume that you had switched web control on and changed the user name and passwords from the RQ22 default of dispuser or dispadmin, password: @panasonic.

If it controlled the shutter from Safari with that URL  then it   should have worked from the script. Did the normal Panasonic web control page work in the browser?

One other option may be  to use Art-net from QLab to control the projector.

Thanks, Mic.

The rental agency had changed the USERNAME to 'admin1' and the PASSWORD to 'panasonic'.
So I entered them when I accessed the normal Panasonic web control function page with Safari, and used it to adjust the projector remotely.

What part of my script would need to be rewritten to get it to work properly?

Of course, I will consider using Art-net (or even RS-232 in the worst case) in the future.

Hi there!
It has been 2 years since my last post, but just the other day I had a chance to use a Panasonic laser projector PT-RZ21K (which also did not work with the Apple Script I posted..), and was able to control it successfully via Art-Net.

I think it seems that the RQ series can be controlled with the same logic.

Thanks QLab!
