Barco Event Master Support #29

Open AustinStearns opened 3 years ago

AustinStearns commented 3 years ago

Hi Joseph,

Do you have planned support for Barco Event Master Products? I know they don't have native support to generate any tally data, but there is a small program that was developed to extract states of sources that could be used as a bridge between Barco and Tally Arbiter: https://github.com/qmsk/e2

The tally state can be output on a HTTP REST WebSocket API. Information on the output can be found in his wiki here: https://github.com/qmsk/e2/wiki/Tally#web-api

Is this something that can be implemented into Tally Arbiter? I would be a happy tester if you do not have access to a Barco Product.

It is on the list! But low priority for me. If someone else wanted to submit a PR for it, I would accept it!

Barco is adding TSL 3.1 support in the newest firmware release (8.2). I have tested the beta of this release, and Tally Arbiter is receiving tally status from a live EM processor.

Hint from my testings: Barco starts with "0" so the first Tally is 0 in the source list!

Hi, i wanted to ask, if anybody has some new information about this topic.

I'm actually working on getting tally data from Barco S3 to Tally Arbiter. TSL Output on Barco S3 only works, if you have a MV2 Output Card (4 x HDMI 2.0) installed. It can't be activated ans used if you have the "old" MV1 output card.

@josephdadams I have tally data in qmsk/e2, also you can get tally data from the provided REST API, as @AustinStearns wrote. Is there any way to POST device bus states (PVW, PGM) to Tally Arbiters REST API. Then you could push tally data from qmsk/e2 over a REST Handler to Tally Arbiter, maybe?

Another way could be Tally Arbiter incoming webhook as Source (which is disabled by default, I think this will have a reason :-) )

Thanks and greetings!

Incoming webhooks to TA is not yet implemented.

The best course of action for Barco devices that don’t support TSL would be a Barco source type that polls the REST API. It will stay on the wish list until someone implements it.
