More detailed Art-Net Listener Personality #2118

Open RGMediatec opened 1 year ago

RGMediatec commented 1 year ago

Is this a feature relevant to companion itself, and not a module?

Is there an existing issue for this?

Describe the feature

I was wondering if it could be possible to add some more personalities (or DMX modes with different channel mappings) for the Art-Net Listener. For Example: Mode 1: the current channel mapping to preserve current programmings from current users Mode 2: three channels for each button in companion where the first one is triggering the action, the second one sets the page and the third the press mode like button down/up

Alternatively there could be a custom amount of controllable buttons to keep the amount of used Art-Net channels at a smaller amount or even the possibility for own channel mappings.

Usecases

This way it could be possible to control multiple buttons simultaneously and also one could set the press mode to button up by default for each button individually to program flash buttons on a lighting console. So when pressing the flash button on the console the companion button down command will be triggered and when releasing the console flash button it will automatically trigger the button up command.

This would be useful for example on PTZ cameras to zoom in or out manually via a lighting desk.

You could use Art-RDM to allow changing modes (personalities) remotely too under the control of the desk...)
