79.7.5 Device Controller functionality

In the Device Controller tab, it's possible to configure Etere Nunzio Playout to communicate with a graphic device and a camera. Commands will be forwarded to the Etere Device Controller service first (see chapter 18.4.7.0 Device Controller for more information), then the service will send them to the physical device to control, through its dedicated IP address and port.

This tab is split in two sections, Graphics and Camera, and each of them contains the same parameters, required to set up properly the communication with the device.

Service host: Select the server where the Device Controller Service is running.
Process: Choose the process within the service that controls the graphics physical device or the camera.
Device: This field can't be edited, it only displays the device type defined in the configuration of the chosen process, made in EtereWeb.
Service command port: This field can't be edited, it only shows the port, defined in Etere Device Controller Service's configuration in Etereweb, to communicate with the chosen process.

The Mos Objects managed by Device Controllers can be identified by an orange font. Instead, the Camera Controls managed by Device Controllers, have a blue font.
Each of them can also be recognized by the related icon, as shown in the image below:
