I'm working on an educational research project on advanced show
control automation. I'm using SFX v5.6 as the master to control
other devices such as an Obsession 600 and hopefully HogPC. I am
using SFX's MSC commands to control the entire systems. I have had
no problems so far controlling the Obsession from SFX, HogPC however
is another story. To the best of my knowledge I have everything set up correctly. My inputs/outputs are correct on both HogPC and SFX. I also have the coressponding device IDs set. One thing I'm not 100% sure on is what the 'format ID' on the HogPC Input Panel means. I think it's much like a 'command format' in SFX. If anyone can enlighten me though, I'd appreciate it. Anyway, I've tried numerous MSC commands from SFX to try and get a cue on a cuelist in HogPC to run. I was wondering if there was a different syntax that HogPC uses to recognize MSC commands instead of the standard format. Also, does it matter if I use 01 (General Lighting) or 02 (Moving Light) Format IDs on HogPC? I can answer any questions about my setup if that would help, but if anyone has experience with this, I would highly appreciate some help. Thank you.
