For receiving tally data what's in line 84-108 doesn't really matter, as it's not used at all. The only part I use is in line 314-143, which gets the tally data. I did once raise the limit from 20 tally inputs to 40, to make it support the latest models. Did you try it out on the 4 M/E?
you could try to add Serial.println(sources);
after line 316 to see what value sources
have. If it's more than 40 I need to raise it again.
Yes we did try it with a 4 M/E but it didn't respond to any input from the switcher itself: it connected to the network and connected to the switcher but never showed any tally response on any of the M/Es.
I'll add the print sources and see try it on the 4 M/E again, it won't be for a few weeks though.
Ok. What model is it exactly?
I found this in the manual for the 8K 4 M/E version
It's not for the UDP protocol (that's used over networking) but for their camera protocol. But the max amount of sources should be the same, so maybe I should raise it to 510 to be safe. 😅
Well that's a heck ton of devices. We tested it on the 4K 4 M/E with 20 inputs. But this is talking about sources, not just inputs so I can believe that it would be much more than the input number.
I suppose it would cover all the bases if it was set to 510? So might as well and see what happens.
I raised the limit to 510 in this new branch. The tally server won't work with more than 40 sources for now.
It could also be something else. I stumbled over a comment in the ATEMbase lib saying that they observed up to 32 init packets (which would vary) on a 4k 2m/e, so they set the limit to 40 init packets to be safe. I have no clue if it would be more and how much more on the 4m/e. The only way to find out would be by doing a few captures using wire shark... which is mainly how the protocol has been reverse engineered.
So I've been running the tally program for the last couple weeks on an ATEM TV Studio Pro and it works perfectly.
I wanted to show it to a friend, who works in production, on their ATEM at work but they have a 4 M/E switcher and the SKAARHOJ libraries only support up to 2 M/Es (identified cases from line 84-108 in the ATEMmin.cpp file). I'm assuming that was done because the 4 M/E didn't exist when the libraries were made.
Even though you didn't create those libraries, do you think you could have a look to see if a mod could be made to support up to the 4 M/Es?
