Author Topic: Automation Macro to Internet IP? Dave Young Film Handler Posts: 19 From: New Bedford, ma Registered: Jul 2014 posted 08-09-2014 09:58 PM                        I was talking to some of the DoReMi folks about using an automation macro to send simple TCP commands out to specific internet-based IP addresses/ports that are setup via RAW devices. It's usually used for Ethernet based devices, but I can't see why it would matter as long as the IP address is accessible from the box. Has anyone ever tested something like this for external monitoring? I've only seen the DoReMi manuals, do GDC or Dolby do IP-based automation macros as well? I've read the thread on Booth Internet Access and the thread Padja started about DCP server emulation which answered some questions already.  |  IP: Logged Harold Hallikainen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 906 From: Denver, CO, USA Registered: Aug 2009 posted 08-09-2014 11:32 PM                        Doremi and GDC can send user defined strings to user defined ports at user defined IP address.

As an external device, do you mean something like a JNIOR controller perhaps connected to a Raspberry PI?  |  IP: Logged Dave Macaulay Film God Posts: 2321 From: Toronto, Canada Registered: Apr 2001 posted 08-11-2014 02:06 PM                     The Jnior will do translation - send tcp/ip messages from a serial message trigger - internally using the "Cinema Jnior" package. This application has a fairly steep learning curve but once you "get it" it's quite versatile. Rick at Integ will help you with understanding how to use it.  |  IP: Logged Dave Young Film Handler Posts: 19 From: New Bedford, ma Registered: Jul 2014 posted 08-14-2014 06:15 AM                        Dave, he sure did! He ran a test from his desk for me to verify it would work, I've ordered one to test and dev with. Fantastic and thorough customer service from IntegPG. Thanks for the recommendation!  |  IP: Logged
