Just an update to my previous post The IP address the message is being sent to In a typical Vision.Net system, Vision.Net commands trigger multiple different devices on the network simultaneously. It is therefore best practice to send UDP broadcast messages, that all “receivers” on the network can listen to. Using unicast is fine where there is just the one Lighting Board, as you only have a single Vision.Net “receiver”. So I prefer to specify the actual address of my LeapFrog so that the message is notpicked up by any other device on the network. With regard to the IP Address of the sending PC ZerOS dosent actually use this so it can be any value at all eg 02 02 02 02 Finally you dont need quite as many trailing Nulls you can reduce that to 24 Nulls

I have managed to achieve sending Strand Vision.Net messages from SCS to ZerOS. In my case to a LeapFrog 48 lighting board. There is a little bit of easy setting up to do in ZerOS (Setup / Triggers) The tricky part was formulating the HEX message (Thanks to Edward in support), once I had achieved that putting it into SCS was straightforward SCS must be configured as follows: Editor / Production Properties / Devices / Control Send Remote Device: Any Device or Product Network Protocol: UDP Network Role: SCS is a Network Client IP Address or Server Name: needs to be a broadcast address 192.168.1.255 Port No.: 2741 SCS 'Control Send' Structure: In EDITOR / Cue / Add 'Control Send' Cue Create a 'Control Send' Cue Control Send Device: as named in Devices Entry Mode: HEX Network Message: 8C 01 A8 C0 01 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 84 09 01 5f 00 02 05 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 8C 01 A8 C0 is the IP Address of the sending PC in this example 192.168.1.140 but in reverse order 140.1.168.192 02 05 The message is set for ‘Room’ 2 ‘Preset’ 5 which will fire macro 5 My Macro 5 is a recording of pressing the ‘Go’ buttton In addition to Macros it is possible to map Vision.Net rooms to things like Playback faders and Cues (via playback buttons)

I believe using UDP is possible having read the following post which was to do with sending control messages to Qlab SCS must be configured as follows:Editor / Production Properties / Devices / Control SendRemote Device: Any Device or ProductNetwork Protocol: UDPNetwork Role: SCS is a Network ClientIP Address or Server Name: (IP address of the MAC) or in our case the Leapfrog boardPort No.: 53535 (QLAB is basically configured to receive OSC messages on this Port) don’t know what Leapfrog will require_________________________________________SCS 'Control Send' Structure:In EDITOR / Cue / Add 'Control Send' CueCreate a 'Control Send' CueControl Send Device: udpEntry Mode: ASCIINetwork Message:

I should add that I have read this https://zero88.com/manuals/zeros/setup/triggers/midi-notes but this would only work if I had the upgrade card

I would like to be able to remotely send a GO cue to the board. Don’t have the SMPTE/MIDI/CAN/REMOTES UPGRADE KIT and doubt I will ever find one. Now the ZerOS Monitor obviously can do this but it suggests to me that it might be possible to send a message from my pc via Ethernet, any ideas? I use Show Cue System for sound including sending control messages to my sound desk.

Edward I would like to view this article but the link dpesnt work for me. When I go to zero88 support the address is https://zero88.com/support
