Receiving Serial Commands to Trigger Events

All text will be queued up until either a carriage return (hex 0D), a “\r”, or a “#”, is encountered in the string to show the end of the command. The custom string is case-sensitive.

RS232, UDP, and ACN Strings

The sending device needs to add "SC " (without quotes, case-sensitive, and including the space) to the beginning of the string in order for it to be correctly processed.

• SC Hello# - sends the string “Hello” to the show control display via RS232, UDP, or ACN.

Event Commands

When a command is received that starts with the prefixes listed above, the console will look for a matching serial event defined in a Show Control List. Custom string input from any serial source (RS232, UDP, ACN, OSC) can be used to trigger the following actions:

• Cue - fires a cue.
• Submaster - bumps a submaster, turns a submaster on or off, sets a submaster to a fader percentage. OSC cannot be used to set fader levels via custom serial commands.
• Macro - fires a macro.
