Connecting to a SAS console
Setting up your SAS console to communicate with PlayoutONE is simple to do.
- In Data Controller, click Settings > Integrations, then add a new SAS integration
- Enter your IP address and port number
- You can now activate by toggling the 'On / Off' switch.
🔌 Catching SAS Events
Now you can set up the events from SAS that you wish to capture by clicking on Command Matrix from the main toolbar.
From here you can enter the commands manually, or use the 'Build' button to open the builder which edits or creates the correct syntax for the event you want to capture.
