Using Data Controller as a TCP Client

To enable a TCP client within Data Controller so that PlayoutONE can send and receive commands via TCP to other applications:

1. Click the 'Settings' button from Data Controller's top bar.
2. Go to the 'Integrations' tab
3. Click the 'Add' button
4. Choose 'TCP client' from the 'Service' drop-down menu
5. 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 TCP port.

To send a command via this integration, in PlayoutONE, start the command with:

TCPClient_[ID] [COMMAND]

[ID] is the device ID in Data Controller, while [COMMAND] denotes the command to be sent to the TCP client. The square brackets are not required.
