Author Topic: retrieving info from a barco projector Kris Verhanneman Expert Film Handler Posts: 182 From: Belgium Registered: Dec 2009 posted 09-11-2010 01:40 PM                     Hello, does anybody know if there is a way to script the retrieval of certain information from a Barco projector? I would like to find a way to retrieve information from all my projectors at the same time. For an example: click on a button and get all the ages of the xenon lamps. I would prefer not to pass by the communicator software. And yes all my projectors are in the same network. Thanks for the feedback.  |  IP: Logged Chase Taylor Expert Film Handler Posts: 175 From: Troy, Alabama, USA Registered: Mar 2001 posted 09-11-2010 01:50 PM                        SMTP function will do that.  |  IP: Logged Kris Verhanneman Expert Film Handler Posts: 182 From: Belgium Registered: Dec 2009 posted 09-12-2010 05:02 AM                     Any way of getting some more information? This is a little vague to start with (started with google and got lots of email settings). Thanks.

I mean Barco can support SNMP, but this is a optional function that need to be activated (and most of the time, payed I guess... ). You can also talk to the projector using the Barco API (the same one Barco Communicator is using), but this is a CONFIDENTIAL document - to have it, you should ask to Barco. Meanwhile, you can still use a http (TCP/80) connexion to the barco to grab some basic information if needed. Hope this'll help  |  IP: Logged System Notices Forum Watchdog / Soup Nazi Posts: 215 Registered: Apr 2004 posted 04-27-2018 02:54 PM                 It has been 2783 days since the last post.  |  IP: Logged Greg Routenburg Expert Film Handler Posts: 178 From: Toronto, ON, Canada Registered: May 2003 posted 04-27-2018 02:54 PM                     I've been looking at a variety of SNMP tools to retreive Lamp/Filter Hours from projectors. There are many that allow you to import the MIB data from the projector and even retreive the information one projector at a time. Does anyone know of a good tool that could execute a series of GET commands and save the output into something human readable? I'd also be good with CSV so that it could be imported into an excel sheet. It'd be a real bonus if it could be scheduled and e-mail the results. Finally, I'd like it to work within Windows as I don't have any linux machines on the projector networks in question. Thanks.  |  IP: Logged
