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.

  • Ok, I have found why this was not working. Please tell me if this is normal, as I don't find myself needing to use virtual masters in this way too often.

    I found that what I was doing above would work the first time only, and then after that LIST 32 ENTER was not playing the cue unless I did two things.

    1. Add a follow on cue 2, with a command macro to release the clear macro (RK121h1)
    2. Set the cue list to "auto release at end" rather than wrap to beginning as default.

    I would have expected with "wrap to beginning" selected, typing the syntax again would have played the cue, but it did not.

    If however, the cue contains fixture information, then repeating the syntax does repeatedly play the cue, without "release at end" being selected.

    Possibly something for HES to have a look into???
