<Event> [9] [/] {External} [Enter]
Select Input String and type the appropriate UDP or OSC command
{Input String} Hello [Enter]
Example: OSC
Type in the command you want the console to listen for.
The sending device needs to start the command with /eos/sc/ in order
for the console to listen to it. For example, type Hello in the Input String
field. On your OSC sending device, have it send /eos/sc/Hello.
Example: UDP
Type in the string you want the console to listen for.
The sending device needs to add “SC” (case-sensitive) to the beginning
of the string in order for it to be correctly processed.
The string needs to be terminated with a carriage return (hex 0D), \r, or
#. For example, type Hello in the Input String field. On your UDP sending
device, have it send SC Hello#
To set the submaster fader percentage using UDP, you need to include a
number (0-100) after the string. For example, blue 50#.
Then add the action to execute. Actions can be a cue, submaster, or a macro.
{Action} {Cue} [1] [Enter]
Sending Serial Commands – RS232, UDP, and ACN Strings
Eos Family consoles have the ability to send strings, which can be used to send commands to
other devices, such as Paradigm®, Crestron®, and media servers. The ability to send and
receive strings can be done via RS232 ports (via a Net3 I/O Gateway), network UDP messages,
and ACN String. see
Show Control Settings
for more setup information.
Note:
The console can be configured to send either ACN strings or UDP strings, as
they share the String Tx IP Address field. A combination of device names for ACN and
IP addresses for UDP is not supported. Combinations of I/O Gateways and either UDP
or ACN Strings are allowed.
Note:
If you are trying to control Paradigm via UDP, ACN Strings, or RS-232, please
reference the Paradigm Serial Access Protocol document for additional information.
Sending Strings
There are three ways that your console can send strings: from cues, macros, or user events.
String TX must be set to Enabled in Setup for any strings to be sent.
Termination Characters
All strings are appended with CR LF unless the string contains an escape character (in which
case no default termination is appended).
Escape Characters
Non-printable ASCII characters can be placed in the string using the escape characters “\x”
followed by the hexadecimal character code. To place a carriage return (CR) in the string, type
“\x0D”.
