Hi

Well, I tried to find out how the triggering works...but I didn`t find the answer right now.

BEAT-SYNC ( VDJ / QLC+ ) via OS2L works very nice. I did it via speed dial ( tap / input 8342: beat ). The chaser are perfectly synched now.

Now I want to set an ACTION-POI (os2l_button "start_chaser_1") in VDJ. This POI should activate a button in my virtual console ( QLC+ ). The button in my virtual console is called "start_chaser_1" ( without the " " ). However...when VDJ reaches the POI position nothing happens in QLC+. The button is not been activated.

Where can I see whether there`s a command sent from VDJ to QLC+ ?

I`m new to QLC so please don`t hesitate to call me a fool. ( smile )

Markus,

When you create an input profile with the wizard, you can detect which signals are coming in. Try it: https://www.qlcplus.org/docs/html_en_EN ... files.html

Well, I see the DMX-Button-Actions coming from VDJ. In my existing OS2L-Profile I can activate the wizard. When I press a DMX-Button in VDJ the profile shows the new channel and the name.

Same with the POI. With the activated wizard the channel and the name of the transmitted POI (os2l_button "name" ) is displayed. Thanks for the hint...

BUT...I want to trigger a button ( with a corresponding chaser ) in the virtual console with the POI.

The Input profile shows following info: channel ( 11396 ) / name ( chaser1 ) / Type ( button )
This info is coming from my VDJ-POI ( os2l_button "chaser1" )

But how can I trigger the chaser in the virtual console now ?
I named a button "chaser1". But nothing happens...

That is easy ... go to your button in VC, right click, select Widget properties, under external input, press Select... and now you can bind your external command to the VC button.
While you created an input profile, you easily can select the right command that works for you.
Have fun
