Whether you need to automate loudness resets, trigger presets from a console, or integrate with a DAW, or other third-party tools, actions open up a world of flexible control.
Multi-Device Control
With OSC integration, RTW devices TMxCore, TouchControl 5 and TouchMonitor 5 can send commands simultaneously to multiple devices on the network. This makes it possible to start, stop, reset loudness measurements synchronously with a playback, or load presets across all connected units with a single action, ensuring consistent operation throughout the setup.
A TouchControl 5 positioned at the operator’s desk can be used to navigate and control a TouchMonitor 5 remotely, providing centralized access without the need to operate each device directly.
Transmit: Outgoing Commands
Within a press on a button the RTW devices can send OSC messages via TCP/UDP and/or HTTP requests.
Action Button
A dedicated Action button can be customized with its own size, color, and label.
OSC Everywhere
Any button in a preset can send OSC commands in addition to its primary function.
For example, pressing the TALK button can simultaneously trigger one or more OSC commands, such as activating the DIM function in the monitoring application or switching on speakers when the corresponding output is selected.
Multi-Command
A single button can send not just one, but multiple commands at once, OSC and HTTP commands can be mixed in one action.
Multi-state
For a toggle button (e. g. TALK), the button’s state is transmitted. When the button is ON, TRUE is sent; when it is OFF, FALSE is sent.
OSC Settings
| Active: | Indicates whether the command is active |
| Name: | The name of the action |
| Type: | There are three types of commands: |
| • OSC TCP | |
| • OSC UDP | |
| • HTTP Request | |
| Host: | The IP address of the target device |
| Port: | The port of the target device, typical 8000 |
| Message: | If Type is OSC, this is the Address. If Type is HTTP, this is the URI |
| Active: | Indicates whether the command is active |
| Name: | The name of the action |
| Type: | There are three types of commands: |
| • OSC TCP | |
| • OSC UDP | |
| • HTTP Request | |
| Host: | The IP address of the target device |
| Port: | The port of the target device, typical 8000 |
| Message: | If Type is OSC, this is the Address. If Type is HTTP, this is the URI |
Receive: Incoming Commands
RTW devices can also react to OSC commands. This means external systems can control core functions such as:
- Recalling presets
- Resetting loudness
- Triggering monitoring actions
This makes it super easy to integrate with broadcast consoles, Stream Decks, or other controllers.
OSC Receive Implementation
The OSC receive implementation uses TCP on Port 8000.
