Introducing Compere UI for Jugglers
Introducing Compere UI for Jugglers
Once Jugglers have been physically connected to each other, to the network and to related devices
(see
Connect a Juggler Data Bus and Connecting a System) they need connecting internally,
from inputs to outputs via whatever processes are required. This is all achieved using Compere’s UI
on a control PC, to create a complete ‘stage-management’ script that contains the connections,
configuration properties, positions and arrangements of all the equipment and players that comprise
what is called a ‘Project’.
Ø
See overview: Juggler and Compere
Project Group, Server, Clients
Active instances of Compere that have a shared involvement in a Project, must belong to a Project
Group. This will include all the Jugglers, plus any control PC that plays a part in managing the Project.
One, and only one, instance of Compere in a Project Group has the role of server to the rest as clients.
This role includes owning the Project script, receiving any changes to this from clients, and
redistributing any changes to the rest of the Project Group.
It does not matter which instance of Compere is the server, and the role can be handed to any Group
member. If a server leaves the Group for any reason, the Project will keep running, but
intercommunication stops and changes will not be redistributed until there is a Group server again. A
group Juggler is always the preferred choice – a control PC does not need ever to play the server role.
The function of the control PC is to be able to use the graphical interface to view and edit the Project
Group and all its members and their roles, and/or to be used for external control.
Ø
Special case: PC as Project Group server
The function of the Jugglers in a Project is to assemble one or more shared visual canvases between
them, i.e. a combined total pixel space. These pixels may be displayed anywhere in the real world,
and you will place individual inputs into the system onto any number of locations in this overall space.
Each Juggler in a system has the advantage of handling a range of input and output connection
standards, including DisplayPort™ 1.2, HDMI® 2.0 and 12G SDI, and when put on a common fibre-
optic data bus they can share a single very large canvas.
Names : Almost every element of a Juggler system has a name in its properties. Plan a
logical scheme of naming so that everything is easily referenced. Names are used as
parameters in
External Control .
Network
To start, the network that the Juggler system and associated devices live on needs to be set up in
Compere, grouping devices for a Project (see
Network Configuration ).
