EOS Offline and WYSIWYG?

Hi Anne,

Thanks a lot for your reply, will check the forum for news regarding the Offliner and vis soft. Well, and thank you very very much for the great "first-steps-on-EOS"-training, really looking forward to "level 2" :-)

Best wishes,

Markus

Hi Anne (& Markus)

So we've decided to go ahead with EOS! While we're waiting for the system to be delivered I'm starting to play with the offline software and was also wondering whether its possible to integrate it with WYSIWYG Perform, and if so how to go about it?

Regards,

David 

Hi David,

how good seeing you here - and welcome onboard Eos :-)

Unfortunately at the moment, the current offline software can not be connected to/communicate with WYG Perform; I am sure Anne will update us on the integration progress.

Cheers, speak soon,

Markus

That's not strictly true - WYSIWYG can happily listen to the ETCNet2 control from an Eos console.

There is however no "selection" interaction between WYSIWYG and Eos.

Hi Richard,

true, of course the EDMX/Net2-ouput of the console can be used (setting "allow EDMX reception") in/with WYSIWYG;

but the offline software is really rather offline (with no EDMX output)...

Cheers, Markus

*Note to self - read the whole thread...*

You're correct - Congo Offline works like this, but Eos Offline does not. Sorry!

Hi, did this facility come in 1.3?

Does anyone have an idiot's guide to help me get EOS offline connected to WYSIWYG Perform?

Thanks,

David

David, it did come in 1.3.... I'm assuming you are trying to run the OLE and WYG on the same computer?   We are checking to see if there is any weirdness about this even as we speak.  Wanted to let you know we are looking into it.

If you're running Eos and Wyg on the same machine, you'll probably need to either enable the loopback connection (which I forget how to do, but it's on the forum somewhere), or make sure a network exists - the Internet would work, or simply plugged into a switch.

This one always bites me with Wyg...

Is it possible to run them on separate machines? I really need both applications to be running full screen. It's mainly the networking configuration between the EOS and WYG PC that I need some advice on. Thanks, David

When running on separate devices (either an Eos or the EOL on a PC) to a computer with WYG, all you should need to do is connect them with a cat 5 cable, set the IP addresses within the same range.  The first three numbers of the IP address need to be the same.  The last three can be from 000 to 255.  I usually just set the IP address of each device with the same number, except increment the last digit.

 WYG used to automatically hear EDMX (Net2).  You may have to do something now to get it to hear it.  We don't have a current copy of WYG in the lab, so kinda hard to know for sure.  (On Capture, for example, sometimes you have to go to "universes" and click on each output to get it to connect - WYG might have the same thing....). 

Let us know how it goes.

OK, I'm using 2 PCs on our office network - one is running WYG, the other Eos offline. They are both on the same subnet (192.168.0) and can both see each other both by IP address and computer name. I've started Eos in offline mode and have added ETCNet2 EDMX into the WYG device manager, but it won't connect (message: Could not connect the following consoles: ETCNet2 EDMX). In the properties 'Address' field I've tried both the IP address and the computer name of the Eos PC, which corresponds with the Device Name in the General tab of the ETC EOS shell. I've also tried running both Eos offline and WYG on the same PC, but the same 'Could not connect' message occurs.

Do I need to do anything specific in the Eos configuration or patch? Do any ports need opening up in the Windows firewall?

Thanks,

David

Hi David-

There is no need to connect it in the Device Manager - you simply need to allow EDMX reception (v4) in Wyg | Options | Application Options | ETC Interface.

If that doesn't work, give us a call - it could be a firewall problem, but this will usually fix it.

Great - that works fine - thanks very much :)
