Hello,
I am about to go work on a Theater project in San Diego that uses the Manager and Widget Designer as the main Video programming and control interface.
Usually, one of my favourite pieces of gear to bring on these shows is the playback extension, because I can use the STORE GOTO CUE VIEW and GROUP functions to speed up my workflow and not muck around with the mouse as much. But on this show, the staging company can't provision a KVM or USB extender system that plays nice with the Coolux USB control surface peripherals (Jog Shuttle, Extension, etc.). So I am basically stuck with just a mouse and Keyboard.
I know that access to the Command Keys is available via PB_Automation.dll, and am considering writing a program that lets me simulate whatever I can't do with the Widget.
This made me wonder if a "Command Line" tab could be added to the Manager. Ideally it would let you execute the Control Surface commands, but I suppose it would also me cool to be able to create little scripts of those and run them. I don't know how sophisticated the command interpreter is, but it would be great if it was easier to access.
Thanks!
