Experimentations with the Newtek Tricaster
Initial test was using the tricaster webserver to get the preview images from the inputs on a webpage. See tricaster.html (which assumes tricaster is on 192.168.2.80)
Next step was to try the remote control API.
The remote control API is XML based TCP/IP socket comms. Does allow web sockets.
First experiments are ugly node hacks, where I successfully preview then transition ("auto", rarher than "take") the DDR1 and Mix Effects 1 and 2.
Next step is to create a web app that allows a user to click a button and do the normal actions.
For me this is:
- m/e 1 = contest area 1 (with graphics)
- m/e 2 = contest area 2
- m/e 8 = Commentary Studio
- ddr 1 = Action Replay.
Then on Mix Effect 7 (Jumbotron output):
- input 3 = PGM
- input 6 = contest area 1 (Referee replay)
- input 7 = contest area 2 (Referee replay)
Build the electron apps:
cd electron electron-packager . --all
