Using Data Controller as a UDP Client
To enable a UDP Client within Data Controller so that PlayoutONE can send and receive commands via UDP to other applications:
- Click the 'Settings' button from Data Controller's top bar.
- Go to the 'Integrations' tab
- Click the 'Add' button
- Choose 'UDP client' from the 'Service' drop-down menu
- Fill in the relevant IP address and port details
External applications can then send any command to Data Controller by sending a command via the UDP port.
IP | The IP address of the UDP client Data Controller needs to connect with. |
Port | The specified port number |
To send a command via this integration, in PlayoutONE, start the command with:
UDPClient_[ID] [COMMAND]
[ID] denotes the integration ID in Data Controller, while [COMMAND] denotes the command to be sent to the TCP client. The square brakets are not required.
