Ventuz Forum

I am re opening a post I made in the old forums, I just got time to go back and try this out.

I am looking to use a Spyder X-20 video swticher (vistasystems.net) to send commands to ventuz. I just need to send command to fire Next and Prev to a Keyframe Animation node.

The X20 has a built in module to send "Network Commands" with limited options.
IP
IP Port
Type: UDP, TCP
Command (text field, ASCII format with a few special values to send carriage return, new line and hex)

From looking around it seems that the best way for ventuz to receive the command is with CLI remoting. But I have not been able to figure out how to get that connected. Can someone help point me in the right direction to get CLI setup and working? Is there a F1 tutorial that I am not finding?

Thanks for the help, I am just getting started with ventuz.

There is a section about CLI Remoting in our UserManual Remoting.

Cheers!

In a thread from the old forum, Karol has posted a TCP Server, which also could come in handy for this purpose:

I've modified it a little bit and use it succesfully with broadcast automations systems.

Good luck!

Daniel: The manual didn't give me much to work with. Never saw how to start the connection and couldn't get any responses from Ventuz any way I tried.

Sam: Thanks I will see if I can get that to work for me.

I just need a simple left or right command sent to the scene for the time being. I am sure that I will have much more complex controls needed later on. Sure are a lot of things to learn in this software!

hi sherman

it is realy not that difficult! first you have to enable cli remoting in the machine configuration. default port for tcp connection is 19201

next you have to externalize the propertie you want to control....and the propertie name you gave here will be the adress to control the propertie via tcp...but you can see all available adresses in the external window (maybe you need to refresh the window)

you cant test the connection and your strings simply with a terminal program or with the windows own terminal!
