Will,
It's not strange, the Christie board is still working, and that will receive and execute the "projector on" macro. The problem is that the server won't run a playlist because the ICP is off, hence the communication issue.
I know that an external automation can solve this, but the point is that the original question was "can the doremi turn the projector on".
Carsten,
What is a "cron job"? Usually a server is never powered down, so the boot up macro is a partial solution.
Olivier,
I had not seen the email, sorry.
I have not tested it but I had done it in the past, and the problem is that you are NOT allowed to run any playlists if the projector is off! I'll give it another try next time I'm by a Doremi and a Christie, but how do you solve the issue?

Oups, right - dit not read you correctly, mea culpa - if the projector is in stand-by mode, IMB card will be turned off, so no show(playlist) loading possible - hence, no scheduled show ![[Frown]](frown.gif)
(and for non IMB servers, you have to disable the projector in the device list to make you playlist load&run... that won't help of any interest if we make to have the full-auto-screen job done).
Still, you can use a cronjob (from the Doremi server or anywhere else in fact) to have the job done. Here an sample script (yet TIMTOWTDI of course) :
quote:
#!/usr/bin/perl
# Talk to a Christie projector
use strict;
use warnings;
use IO::Socket::INET;
my $message = "(PWR0)"; # PWR0 turn on / PWR3 turn off
my $socket;
$socket = IO::Socket::INET->new(
PeerAddr => "PLACE_YOUR_PROJECTOR_IP_THERE",
PeerPort => "5000",
Proto => 'tcp',
Timeout => 5) or die();
print $socket "$message" or die();
close($socket);
# - This Is The End... (known song)

Carsten:

Who needs to schedule projector power on from standby for what reason, from where and when. Typically, a TMS would be the place to have this function.
On a general basis you are probably right: a TMS means Theater Management System afterall.
But we should not forget that there is no "One Way to Rules Them All": lots of theaters won't have a need for a TMS, especially little ones -> they can automatize their screens with simple tricks (and somes will not even want to automatize nothing by the way, but that's another topic).
Moreover, a TMS is a cost - and probably some peoples out there will prefer to avoid spending money for something they could eventually do their own different way.
So, at the end, the present thread may be of some helps for somes - that's all about this forum afterall, isn't it? ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
