INFORMATION

• Step 1
  • In Plugncast G3, once your layouts are build properly and your playout using this layout is built properly, get the unic ID of each grid
    • ex:
      • Select a grid (in playout > layout > Grid)
        • ex: Grid #1
      • Click on Rename button, note the unic ID for this grid, then press Cancel button
        • ex: 08ad0998-91bd-4411-bed5-74d02b05e21c
      • Select another grid (in playout > layout > Grid)
        • ex: Grid #2
      • Click on Rename button, note the unic ID for this grid, then press Cancel button
        • ex: 28957f33-bb44-499f-866a-c8e0aefb7467
• Step 2
  • Fill properly the "UDPport" integer value in the file UDPGridChange-V1.10.10.js
    • ex:
      • var UDPport = <UDP_PORT>;
  • In the same file, fill also properly the "grids" array values value according to yours {free UDP message value, grid ID} by keeping the javascript syntax
    • ex
      • var grids =[{ udpMsg:"GRID1", gridUID:"08ad0998-91bd-4411-bed5-74d02b05e21c"} ,{ udpMsg:"GRID2", gridUID:"28957f33-bb44-499f-866a-c8e0aefb7467"}]

        • The player should commute on Grid #2
