Master control of programmers in network

If this is already available, please do let me know...it's not something I have ever found out how to achieve.

Can it be made possible that you can clear out a programmer on a different console on the network?

Using OSC control recently, I had a few occasions where my production electrician has forgotten to clear the programmer of the Net 2 console, to which his remote was connected. I was programming on the Net 1 console and occasionally needed to clear what he had accidentally left up, which was affecting the look onstage. It would be nice to be able to open the programmer of the net 2 console on the net 1 console and have the ability to view it and also clear it out.

Obviously having separate programmers across the network is a hugely powerful feature but being able to take control of other programmers on the network would take it to the next level.

  • Hi Scott,

    I now have my H4 back and have been trying to set this up across my network.

    What I am finding is that the dummy cue that triggers the "clear" macro has to be run from the same console I wish to be cleared, whereas I want to be able to clear either console's programmer from my main H4.

    What I have set up is this.
    [Keystroke macro to press clear] - this is working correctly and only clears the console which I press it on. Perfect.

    [Dummy cue recorded on Hog4 - virtual cuelist 31 cue 1 with comment macro to fire above keystroke macro] - This was set up on the Hog 4 and when I use the following syntax on the Hog 4, LIST 31 ENTER, the cue runs and so does the clear macro - perfect.

    [Dummy cue recorded on Hog4PC - virtual cuelist 32 cue 1 with comment macro to fire above keystroke macro] - This was set up on the Hog 4PC and when I use the following syntax on the Hog 4PC, LIST 32 ENTER, the cue runs and so does the clear macro - also perfect.

    So up to this point, it all works, but if I am sat at my Hog 4 and press LIST 32 ENTER, the programmer does not get cleared on the Hog 4PC.

    From your previous post it sounded like you had this working so that both programmers could be cleared by just one console, so I wonder what's going wrong my end?

    I'm running v1.0.1

    Cheers
