M/E 2 control #11

Closed blarkman closed 3 years ago

blarkman commented 10 years ago

Hi all, This program is amazing. Using it with QLab to program switcher changes during live broadcasts of events. Would be great if we could select M/E2 sources in the same way we can select M/E1 sources. Maybe this is already possible, and I just don't know the syntax. Please let me know.

Thanks again to everyone who has contributed to this!

Hey, I am sorry, that I can't help with this, as I don't own this hardware and so I won't be able to test this.

SteffeyDev commented 7 years ago

@blarkman if you are still using this setup, what commands don’t work on the M/E 2 that you think should?

jeffadavisaz commented 6 years ago

@SteffeyDev I have this same question. I'm doing the same exact setup actually. There are not addresses designated to send a command to the M/E2 side of the switcher, only M/E 1.

Thoughts?

sneat commented 6 years ago

There's actually quite a significant re-write that would be needed to support the M/E2 side so it's not a quick win unfortunately.

jeffadavisaz commented 6 years ago

Ahhhh Gotcha. I suppose I can write macros for what I need on the M/E 2 and trigger those instead.

sneat commented 6 years ago

@jeffadavisaz yeh, that's what I've been doing when I've needed. Generally it's been things like "set M/E2 program to X and then put M/E 2 'live'". So macros work well enough for that.

It'd be good to add full support at some point, it's just a pretty large body of work.

Hi there! I am a big fan of the application! We use it all the time with our professional video setups for theatre performances so first off all, keep up the good work! :)

I was wondering, not being a programmer myself, if it is at all possible to control the M/E 2 part of the ATEM with the SDK. I was reading through the SDK and could not find it.

Thanks in advance!

sneat commented 6 years ago

@HNTVideo yes, it's technically possible to implement, but will involve a significant rewrite of the code to support it so it hasn't been started yet.

What I have done when I've wanted to control the M/E 2 component is to use macros. So setup macros via the official software control panel to control whatever functionality I'm needing, and then use atemOSC to trigger the macros. It's a bit tedious to setup, but still allows for a level of automation.

What would it actually take to support M/E 2 @sneat? I don't know the hardware, what makes those switchers so different?

sneat commented 4 years ago

An ATEM with M/E 2 is effectively 2 ATEM's in one, where you can then take the output of the 2nd M/E block as input into the first (main one).

We'd need to track both MixEffectBlocks (https://github.com/danielbuechele/atemOSC/blob/master/atemOSC/AppDelegate.mm#L308-L323) and update the OSC command paths to be able to support whether you're operating on the main M/E block or the 2nd one.
