<div>This tutorial applies to all different OS MXWendler version 6.<br />
<div class="noprint"><br />
== Introduction==<br />
</div><br />
In this tutorial we will see, step by step, how to request the activation of specific features in MXWendler.<br />
<br />
== Licenses ==<br />
Two kinds of license key can be used in MXWendler products:<br />
<br />
*'''The Dongle''' : Is a hardware key, a USB flash drive.<br />
:If you have an MXWendler USB Dongle Key you just need to insert it in one of your computer´s USB ports before starting the software. <br />
:You can use your dongle in any computer you like. There is no limitation on the number of machines you can use with your license. <br />
:Note: FXServer versions can be activated only with a Dongle.<br />
*'''The Soft Key''' : It´s also possible to activate a licensing packet or a feature with a soft-key; <br />
:It can be requested from the software menu with the following procedure.<br />
:Note: soft keys are only applicable in Stage Designer versions.<br />
{{#mpdftags: pagebreak}}<br />
== Features ==<br />
<br />
'''List Features:''' <br><br />
<br />
1. Once the software is started, go to: <br />
:'''Menu → Settings → List Features''' '''(A)'''<br />
2. This will open a dialog box that lists all the software features. '''(B)'''<br />
<br />
From this box, it will be possible to see which features are already available and which ones need a license to be activated.<br />
<br />
'''Features''':<br />
You can build your system on your needs. With a wide list of features, you can choose to activate a packet or just add some Outputs or Layers.<br />
{{#mpdftags: pagebreak}}<br />
The selectable Features in MXW are:<br />
<br />
:Eventdriver-Artist<br />
:Eventdriver-Packet<br />
:Entropy-Packet<br />
:Asio-Multichannel<br />
:Virtual-Cam-Larger-320<br />
:One-Playlist<br />
:Max-32-Layers <br />
:Max-20-Layers<br />
:Output-3HD<br />
:Output-2HD<br />
:Output-SDI<br />
:Keystone-2<br />
:CITP-Filename<br />
:CITP-Thumbnail<br />
:DMX_Support<br />
[[File:list_features_01.png|728px]]<br />
<br />
{{#mpdftags: pagebreak}}<br />
== Activating Features ==<br />
<br />
In Stage Designer versions, features can be activated using the following method. FXServer users can activate the features, only with a Dongle.<br />
<br />
'''Add a Feature'''<br />
<br />
1.To add a feature, go to: <br />
:'''Menu → Settings → Add a Feature'''<br />
This will open a dialog box that will allow you to request a packet or a specific feature. '''(A)'''<br />
<br />
2. Choose Feature: From the first drop-down menu, choose the feature you would like to add to the software. '''(B)'''<br />
<br />
[[File:licensing_02.png|728px]]<br />
<br />
{{#mpdftags: pagebreak}}<br />
3. Choose Duration: From the second drop-down menu, choose for how long you would like to use this feature. '''(C)'''<br />
<br />
4. Mail This String to license@mxwendler.net: Once Feature and Duration are selected, a description of your request will appear in the dialog box. Select the text by clicking and dragging the mouse on it, copy the text and paste it in your mail-browser. Send the mail to license@mxwendler.net and we will contact you back! '''(D)'''<br />
<br />
5. Enter Key Here: once you received your soft key you just need to copy it from the e-mail, insert it in the dialog box and click on '''OK'''. '''(E)'''<br />
<br />
6. Restart the MXWendler software and go straight to check the list of the installed features! <br />

<div>This tutorial applies to Windows only, and all MXWendler versions.<br />
<div class="noprint"><br />
== Introduction==<br />
</div><br />
In this tutorial we are going to connect a Wiimote to MXWendler Stage Designer and assign the movement of the controller to a pivot of a keystone element.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Connecting the Wiimote to the Operative System ==<br />
<br />
1. Set a Bluetooth connection on your computer. (eg. a normal Bluetooth USB adapter works perfectly)<br />
<br />
For this tutorial, we are going to use “Touchmote”.<br />
:Download and install “Touchmote”. (http://touchmote.net/)<br />
2. Start the software.<br />
<br />
<br />
[[File:WII_01.PNG|728px]]<br />
<br />
<br />
3. Pair your Wiimote to the software:<br />
:Click on 'Pair Wiimotes' '''(A)'''<br />
:Push and hold 'Sync'.<br />
:(It is the small red button on the back of the Wiimote, hidden in the battery compartment)<br />
Once the Wiimote is paired, the operative system should recognize it as a Bluetooth device.<br />
<br />
4. Close Touchmote.<br />
<br />
<br />
{{#mpdftags: pagebreak}}<br />
<br />
== Configuring the Wiimote to Control Stage Designer ==<br />
<br />
5. Open MXWendler and set the software to communicate with the Wiimote:<br />
:'''Settings → IO Devices → Wii''' <br />
:Check 'Open Wii device' '''(B)'''<br />
6. Restart Stage Designer<br />
<br />
MXWendler can now communicate with the Wiimote.<br />
<br />
<br />
[[File:WII_02.PNG|728px]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
{{#mpdftags: pagebreak}}<br />
7. Select 'Wii' in the IO Settings: '''(C)'''<br />
:'''Settings → IO Devices → DMX/MIDI/Keyboard Events → Wii'''<br />
8. Click on ''''+'''' to create a new Event. '''(D)'''<br />
<br />
9. Select the event and click 'Learn', you can choose to assign a button or the movement of the Wiimote. '''(E)''' <br />
<br />
''Tip: The Wiimote motion sensor is based on infrared light, if you don´t have a sensor bar you can click on 'Learn' and then try to move the Wiimote in front of the flame of a lighter!''<br />
<br />
10. Now choose the Receiver, the type of Action and apply. '''(F)'''<br />
<br />
In our case, we connected the position of a Keystone Pivot with the Wiimote infrared sensor.<br />
:'''IR X1 - /mxw/keystone/element/1/pivot/col/1/row/1/xposition'''<br />

<hr />
<div>Python is used in MXW trough a plugin interface. Specified program paths are searched for plugins which are registered, and then loaded through the user interface.<br />
<br />
As of version 7.2., plugins are available in the playlist. There are two paths searched during program startup, the program folder and the user folder:<br />
<br />
* '''(Program folder)/plugins/playlist/python/'''<br />
* '''~.StageDesigner/plugins/playlist/python/ (Unix)'''<br />
* '''~.StageDesigner/plugins/playlist/python/ (Windows)'''<br />
<br />
Each plugin resides in a folder. Inside this folder, two files have to be present,<br />
<br />
* '''mxw_plugin.ini'''<br />
* '''mxw_main.py'''<br />
<br />
The file '''mxw_plugin.ini''' defines the registration of the plugin. The following fields are valid:<br />
{| class="wikitable" style="margin-left: 0px;"<br />
|+ Fields<br />
|-<br />
! Tag !! Use !! Values/Example<br />
|-<br />
| plugin_version || Plugin Version || 1<br />
|-<br />
| plugin_script_language || Plugin Script Language || Python<br />
|-<br />
| plugin_action_level || Plugin Activity Switch || disabled = not visible<br />
|-<br />
| plugin_menu_parent || Top level parent in playlist menu || "AI", "IO" ..<br />
|-<br />
| plugin_menu_name || Playlist menu entry || "Face detection"<br />
|-<br />
| plugin_grid_name || Default name in grid (may be completed via script) || "Face detect"<br />
|-<br />
| plugin_grid_bg_color || Default color in grid (may be changed via script) || 0.95 0.05 0.45 1.00 (RGBA with range 0..1)<br />
|-<br />
| plugin_tooltip || Tool tip in grid and panel || "This plugin triggers the playlist when it finds a face"<br />
|}<br />
<br />
<br />
An example mxw_plugin.ini looks like this:<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="ini" line><br />
[mxw_plugin] ; must be here<br />
plugin_version = 1 ; must be V1 (as of V7.2)<br />
plugin_script_language = Python ; must be Python (as of V7.2)<br />
plugin_menu_parent = AI<br />
plugin_menu_name = NeuronalNet(Dlib) Face Detect Plugin<br />
plugin_grid_name = Face Detect Plugin<br />
plugin_grid_bg_color = 0.950000 0.050000 0.450000 1.000000 ; set plugin color.<br />
plugin_tooltip = This plugin triggers the playlist when it finds a Face using a neuronal net (Dlib)<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
<br />
The plugins are defined in a mxw_main.py file. This file is loaded, and the main UI calls the provided interface functions. The following interface functions are available for playlist plugins:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable" style="margin-left: 0px;"<br />
|+ Fields<br />
|-<br />
! Function Name !! Details<br />
|-<br />
| '''onCreate()''' || Called when the plugin item is created<br />
|-<br />
| '''onDelete()''' || Called when the plugin item is deleted. Note that this is only called on software shutdown, not called when the plugin is e.g. removed, since items are kept for eventual undo-operations<br />
|-<br />
| '''getColorBG()''' || Get background color, called each render cycle<br />
|-<br />
| '''onAction()''' || Called when cue is entered<br />
|-<br />
| '''onPostAction()''' || Called when the cue is left<br />
|-<br />
| '''onPreparePlayback()''' || Called when the playlist gets a preloading command (e.g. when the GoToStart button is pressed)<br />
|-<br />
| '''onActivateInUI()''' || Called when the item is selected in the ui<br />
|-<br />
| '''onNewFrameInPlayoutCue()''' || Called on each frame when in current active cue<br />
|-<br />
| '''onRenderPanel()''' || Called on each frame when actvated in UI to render the panel<br />
|-<br />
| '''onActiveCueChange()''' || Called when the playlist seeks<br />
|-<br />
| '''getDuration()''' || Get action duration<br />
|-<br />
| '''getText()''' || Get grid text, called each render cycle (may display some information)<br />
|-<br />
| '''onCleanup()''' || Called when the playlist aborts or seeks<br />
|-<br />
| '''getTimeSinceOnActionIssued()''' ||Get action duration, called each render cycle (may display a countdown)<br />
|-<br />
| '''onPause()''' || Called when the playlist goes paused<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Note that not all of the interface functions need to be implemented. If a function is not defined, it is probed but not called.<br />
<br />

<br />
=== Legend ===<br />
<div> <br />
==== Variables ====<br />
When variables are found in the address of a command ( and not only as the value to be sent), the <code>$+index</code> notation has been employed :<br />
<br />
<code>/mxw/track/$1 [value] </code> indicates that a variable <code>$1</code> has to be chosen and will specify the correct address where the value will be sent.<br>If the goal is, for example, to reduce of 50% the opacity of the 2nd track, the correct command would be:<br />
<br />
<code>/mxw/track/2 0.5 </code><br />
<br />
==== Values ====<br />
The standard used to represent the available values for each command (column “RANGE or TOKEN”) is:<br />
<br />
<br />
''FLOATS'' are represented with one decimal:<br />
<br />
<code>0.0 .. 1.0</code> &rarr; all float values between 0 and 1 included<br />
<br />
<br />
''INTEGERS'' are represented with numbers or descriptions:<br />
<br />
<code>1 .. 5</code> &rarr; all integers between 1 and 5 included ( 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ) <br><br />
<code>1 .. (MAX n layers)</code> &rarr; all the integers between 1 and the maximum index of layers in MXW (e.g. if 6 layers are being used the values are integers between 1 and 6 included)<br />
<br />
When only one number is indicated it means that only one option is given. This is found in addresses of buttons, checkboxes and in the options where "0" or "1" are the only significant values<br />
<br />
<br />
''STRINGS'' are represented between quotation marks:<br />
<br />
<code>“info”</code> means that the string info has to be used at the end of the command<br />
<br />
E.G. to ask for information about the patches the command<br />
<br />
<code>/mxw/set info </code><br />
<br />
would be sent.<br />
<br />
When <code>“name”</code> is contained in the available string variable, then the content is to be substituted with the actual name.<br />
<br />
E.G. : to select and play a patch called “patch_one” from its name, the address <code>/mxw/set</code> with tokens <code>"play" "name_of_patch"</code> has to be used, resulting in this OSC command:<br />
<br />
<code>/mxw/set play patch_one</code><br />
<br />
<br />
When <u>OR</u> is found it means that two options can deliver a similar result. One of the two formats has to be used at one time.<br />
<br />

<div>Here are listed all the commands that MXW recognizes.<br />
<br />
=== Legend ===<br />
<div> <br />
==== Variables ====<br />
When variables are found in the address of a command ( and not only as the value to be sent), the <code>$+index</code> notation has been employed :<br />
<br />
<code>/mxw/track/$1 [value] </code> indicates that a variable <code>$1</code> has to be chosen and will specify the correct address where the value will be sent.<br>If the goal is, for example, to reduce of 50% the opacity of the 2nd track, the correct command would be:<br />
<br />
<code>/mxw/track/2 0.5 </code><br />
<br />
==== Values ====<br />
The standard used to represent the available values for each command (column “RANGE or TOKEN”) is:<br />
<br />
<br />
''FLOATS'' are represented with one decimal:<br />
<br />
<code>0.0 .. 1.0</code> &rarr; all float values between 0 and 1 included<br />
<br />
<br />
''INTEGERS'' are represented with numbers or descriptions:<br />
<br />
<code>1 .. 5</code> &rarr; all integers between 1 and 5 included ( 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ) <br><br />
<code>1 .. (MAX n layers)</code> &rarr; all the integers between 1 and the maximum index of layers in MXW (e.g. if 6 layers are being used the values are integers between 1 and 6 included)<br />
<br />
When only one number is indicated it means that only one option is given. This is found in addresses of buttons, checkboxes and in the options where "0" or "1" are the only significant values<br />
<br />
<br />
''STRINGS'' are represented between quotation marks:<br />
<br />
<code>“info”</code> means that the string info has to be used at the end of the command<br />
<br />
E.G. to ask for information about the patches the command<br />
<br />
<code>/mxw/set info </code><br />
<br />
would be sent.<br />
<br />
When <code>“name”</code> is contained in the available string variable, then the content is to be substituted with the actual name.<br />
<br />
E.G. : to select and play a patch called “patch_one” from its name, the address <code>/mxw/set</code> with tokens <code>"play" "name_of_patch"</code> has to be used, resulting in this OSC command:<br />
<br />
<code>/mxw/set play patch_one</code><br />
<br />
<br />
When <u>OR</u> is found it means that two options can deliver a similar result. One of the two formats has to be used at one time.<br />
<br />

<div>This applies to Windows 10 and above and MXWendler version 5.0 and above with AJA Kona 5 (and maybe other) capture cards installed.<br />
<br />
'''Problem'''<br />
<br />
The capture card is not visible in Settings->Live Devices<br />
<br />
'''Solution'''<br />
<br />
You have to manually install the DirectShow drivers<br />
<br />
# Download the driver<br />
# Unpack driver in location where driver can stay. '''You must not delete or move the driver later.'''<br />
# Locate this location with the explorer<br />
# Copy the location path in the adress line<br />
# Register driver as admin via command terminal:<br />
## Click on 'Start'<br />
## Type <code>cmd</code><br />
## Right-click CMD-app 'Start as Administrator'<br />
## Navigate to the drive and folder where the AJAMultiCapture64.dll driver with the command <code>cd D:\to\my\folder</code> and paste the path copied before (copy/paste will not work, because it is an Administrator Shell)<br />
## type <code>regsvr32 AJAMultiCapture64.dll</code><br />

This applies to Windows 10 and above and MXWendler version 5.0 and above with AJA Kona 5 (and maybe other) capture cards installed.<br />
<br />
'''Problem'''<br />
<br />
The capture card is not visible in Settings->Live Devices<br />
<br />
'''Solution'''<br />
<br />
You have to manually install the DirectShow drivers<br />
<br />
# Download the driver<br />
# Unpack driver in location where driver is located. '''You must not delete or move the driver later.'''<br />
# Locate this location with the explorer<br />
# Copy the location path in the adress line<br />
# Register driver as admin via command terminal:<br />
## Click on 'Start'<br />
## Type 'cmd'<br />
## Right-click CMD-app 'Start as Administrator'<br />
## Navigate to the drive and folder where the xxx.dll driver with the command 'cd' and paste the path copied before<br />
## type regsvr32 (name_of_dll.dll)<br />
<br />
<br />
Tip: Sometimes Stage Designer / FXServer complains with 'Cannot find VIDEOINFOHEADER' and does not open the device. In this case, open the device first with VLC ('open capture'), then start the Stage Desiger / FXServer again.<br />

<div><br />
MXW is designed to be a high-performance real-time video software for media servers. It interactively composites high-resolution footage and interactive media.<br />
OSC commands can be generated, sent, and received by MXWendler and a wide range of applications: signaling frameworks like Pure Data, Max/MSP, TouchOSC, and TouchDesigner, audio workstations like Ableton Live, Logic, or Protools, programming environments like Processing, Perl, Java, Unity, and TidalCycles, other Multimedia, Sensoring, Signal Processing software, Microcontrollers and many more, offering a compatible and fast intercommunication method. <br />
<br />
Separating the media server from the controlling infrastructure offers various creative and usability options: <br />
<br />
*Control multiple machines from one single point<br />
*Control a single machine from multiple points<br />
*Replicate a state into a remote system<br />
*Custom user interfaces<br />
*Intercommunication with external software and platforms<br />
*Control via WAN<br />
*Control via a microcontroller<br />
*Connect scene-analysis with scene-composition systems<br />
*Extract control features e.g mapping or triggering<br />
<br />
<div class="noprint"><br />
== 1.1 Receiving OSC commands in MXW ==<br />
</div><br />
<br />
To enable OSC receiving open the software MXWendler: <br><br />
1. In '''Menu: Settings &rarr; Input and Output ''(CTRL+1)'' &rarr;''' in the tab '''OSC''', activate the box '''Receive OSC''' ( '''(A)''' In the following picture) <br><br />
2. Set the port ( 7000 is recommended as an OSC Standard) <br><br />
3. The box '''Log received data''' will log commands in the Error and Log Window visible through '''Menu: Settings &rarr; Error and Log Window ''(CTRL+SHFT+L)'' ''' <br><br />
<br />
This is particularly useful for testing and troubleshooting as it will make visible what OSC commands are received by MXW. The logging of data has a performance impact on the system so it is important to turn it off when not in use.<br />
As this option is marked (r) in the menu, to activate the changes, please restart the software.<br />
<div class="noprint"><br />
<br />
== 1.2 Output OSC from MXW: Send vs. Reply ==<br />
</div><br />
MXW can send OSC commands as well. Multiple distinct options are available in '''Menu: Settings &rarr; Input and Output ''(CTRL+1)'' &rarr;''' tab '''OSC''' : <br><br />
<br />
[[File:MXW IO OSC Settings window.png|728px]]<br />
<br />
{{#mpdftags: pagebreak}}<br />
<br />
=== Broadcast and Receive Time over OSC '''(B)''' === <br />
This option will broadcast the MXW time into the selected subnet to synchronize the time among a pool of machines.<br />
To achieve this a selection mechanism is applied: every machine sends its time until it receives the time from a machine with a lower IP address. In the end, the machine with the lowest IP is selected as the 'master' and controls the pool clock.<br />
IO Events can be forwarded by selecting the relative checkbox. You can for example connect a MIDI device and it will send the MIDI events to the pool.<br />
<br />
=== Receive OSC over RS232 '''(C)''' ===<br />
Check this box if the OSC commands are received through a Serial Port instead of a network port. Options for port selection and integer indexing are available.<br />
<br />
=== Send OSC '''(D)''' ===<br />
This option will send any action on the running host to another host/network defined in the command options. Moving a track slider will generate the commands that make the track slider in the remote machine move to the same position. The goal is to make another machine (pretended it carries the same media data) produce exactly the same result as the master machine by sending osc commands to replicate the same behaviour.<br />
Sometimes it is desireable to send only a selction of the generated actions. You can filter the sent commands using the following rules:<br />
<br><br />
- Adding a + before a *token*, [comment(optional)]<br><br />
- Adding a - before a token*, [comment(optional)]<br><br />
<br><br />
The *token* is a part of the string like "playlist" or "opacity", a comment can be added after a comma in case we want to specify the reason of the filter. So adding the line <code>+,*playlist*</code> will result into that only commands containing the keyword "playlist" will be sent. In the same way using the filter <code>-,*opacity*, opacity_does_not_change</code> any command referring to "opacity" will not be sent through and everything else will.<br />
<br />
=== OSC reply channel '''(E)''' ===<br />
Many OSC commands are capable of asking for specific information e.g. the name of a clip in the preload or the playback status of the playlist. This option must be active in MXW to allow the software to reply to the received OSC commands. Options for a specific IP address of the host/subnet and Port are given in the settings. The last checkbox “Send periodical livesigns” allows to receive a constant periodical flow of data from MXW regarding performance and render information, useful as well for diagnostic reasons.</div>Adminhttps://wiki.mxwendler.net/index.php?title=OSC_Reference&diff=5650OSC Reference2022-03-09T11:20:52Z<p>Admin: Created page with "This reference applies to all different OS.

This document describes the MXWendler (MXW) OSC Command Interface through an overview of the command structure and practical examples of integration with external controlling software. <br />
<br />
== What is OSC? ==<br />
</div><br />
OSC or „Open Sound Control“ is a Network-based protocol that commonly utilizes the UDP transport mechanism. Originally developed as a successor of the MIDI control protocol, it used nowadays as a practical communication method between platforms.<br />
<br />
OSC Features:<br />
* Connectionless communication architecture<br />
* Broadcast-type messages<br />
* High resolution time tag<br />
* Allowed data formats including numeric, symbolic, and “blob” arguments<br />
* Open-ended, dynamic, URL-style naming scheme for the receivers' address<br />

<div>This applies to all Mac versions post Mac Sierra, and all MXWendler versions<br />
<br />
'''Problem'''<br />
<br />
You start Stage Designer, and a warning appears that a certain folder could not be created due to a read-only filesystem path. Some of the default paths in Stagedesigner are not working. e.g the path to the Default Clip. The application Translation does not work and you cannot use the software in German. Updating the Shaders in Shader Managment in Settings is not possible and software shows an error. Key-based licensing is not persistent. <br />
<br />
'''Background'''<br />
<br />
Under new versions of OSX, Gatekeeper dislocates unsigned applications to random paths on start. <br><br />
<br />

<br />
{{#mpdftags: pagebreak}}<br />
'''Solution'''<br />
<br />
1. Disable Gatekeeper. <br><br />
2. Open Terminal as Administrator. <br><br />
3. Type <code>sudo spctl --master-disable</code> <br><br />
4. Reinstall Stage Designer. <br><br />
5. This may affect your security settings.<br />
<br />
'''Long Term Solution'''<br />
<br />
Switch from OSX to a real operating system. <br><br />

<hr />
<div>This applies to Windows 10 64 Bit and MXWendler version 6.0.00 and above. The system CPU is older than five years.<br />
<br />
'''Problem'''<br />
<br />
The software either does not start at all or shows a splash screen and disappears without any message box<br />
<br />
'''Solution'''<br />
<br />
* Install a CPU that supports AVX extensions<br />
* Install a Stage Designer version > 6.0.00<br />
* Uninstall drivers that require AVX extension. See below for an explanation.<br />
<br />
'''Background'''<br />
<br />
MXWendler Stage Designer version 6.0.00 requires AVX CPU extensions. If the cpu does not support this extensions, the software start is aborted. Please note that this also affects other drivers in your system. The Stage Designer software may load e.g. the asio4all64.dll that also requires AVX or other non-supported extensions. The issue can be checked in the windows event viewer. Check for 'Application error' with the following signature:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
| Faulting application:|| MXW.exe<br />
|-<br />
| Faulting module:|| asio4all64.dll<br />
|-<br />
| Exception code:|| 0x80000003<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Stage Designer and FXServer versions after 6.0.00 do not require AVX extensions.</div>Adminhttps://wiki.mxwendler.net/index.php?title=Trouble_Shooting&diff=5441Trouble Shooting2020-12-16T11:56:48Z<p>Admin: </p>
