Re: [QLab] APPLESCRIPT

Hi Tim-

What kind of projectors are they?  If they are Panasonics, you can use something like this:

http://listas.apesol.org/pipermail/qlab-figure53.com/2010-September/011760.html

If you are sending raw data down a TCPIP connection, the way I found to do this was to have QLab through applescript run a python script (I think I did this because I couldn't find a reliable way to get applescript to spit out values on a random tcp/ip connection).  Below is how I did it before.  I believe in the python script "3002" is the port number - change it as you need to.  In the shell script command, '(#CHA 1)' is the text that is sent (I think this was for a Christie M Series projector).  If you need to send hexadecimal commands, you will need to hack at this.

This may also be useful for those people looking to send commands over telnet.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

----------------------------------------------------

1) Save the Python script to a convenient place (let's say the HD root) and call it "channel.py"

2) Use the Script Cue in QLab to call it.  Change the IP to the projector IP.  Also, make sure you paste it into the "Applescript" tab of the inspector for the cue, not the "Info" tab. 

APPLESCRIPT

____________

do shell script "python /channel.py 127.0.0.1 \"(#CHA 1)\""

PYTHON

____________

# TCP client example

import socket

import sys

client_socket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)

client_socket.connect((sys.argv[1], 3002))

data = sys.argv[2]

client_socket.send(data)

data = client_socket.recv(1024)

print "RECEIVED:" , data

client_socket.close()

Further to this, and I'm not sure if it's been mentioned on the list before, or if the behaviour is intended, but I've found that the integrated fade doesn't work on loops. It works on the first time it's played and then doesn't do it anymore. Sorry if this is veering the topic...

Yeah, this is one of those "it could work one of two ways, and both might be correct, and I picked one of them" things.  

There have been requests to add an option for both behaviors, FWIW.

Hi All-

Was wondering if anyone has a readymade apple script to execute in Qlab that results in sending an message VIA TCP/IP? I want to control the dowsers of projectors. I can connect to those projectors via TCP/IP.

If  you are willing to share or can point me in the right direction please let me know.
