Configuring the Binloop
Before the V4Pro can properly control the Binloop, some steps must first
be taken to prepare the Binloop. We must make sure that the Binloop is
not doing anything that will interfere with the commands from the show
control system. For example, if you followed the steps in the previous
application note, the Binloop would currently be configured to trigger
itself to play periodically. Connecting a show controller will not prevent
this, so you must take steps to prevent any undesired behavior. This
could be accomplished by deleting triggers from the Trigger List,
configuring the SMPTE clock to be idle, or both. If you need assistance
doing these things, you can use the previous application note as a guide
on changing the Binloop’s configuration.
Programming the Show Controller
Alcorn McBride Show Controllers are designed to be programmed
initially by a PC, and then operate independently of the PC once the
programming is complete. We call this program a ‘script’, and it is
created and transferred using the WinScript Live application mentioned
earlier in the application note.
To get started on writing a show control script, launch the WinScript Live
software. Select
New
from the startup screen, or click on
File
!
New.
The following screen will appear:
Select the show controller you wish to use, and then click
OK
. In this
example we will be using
V4Pro
. After that, a new blank script will be
created that looks like this:
