Per-Stack Variables

Feedbacks

• Playback Playing - True when any stack is playing
• Playback Stopped - True when all stacks are stopped
• Playback Paused - True when any stack is paused
• Transport Locked - True when transport is locked to a stack
• Stack Focused - True when specified stack is focused
• Stack Playing - True when specified stack is playing
• Stack Stopped - True when specified stack is stopped
• Server Connected - True when connected to EventSync
• License Warning - True when >90% of licenses are in use
• Transcode Queue Not Empty - True when transcoding is in progress

ContentOSC

EventSync uses dual addressing for cues:

• Position (1-999): Cue position in stack, changes if cues are reordered
• ContentOSC (1000-9999): Static ID assigned at creation, never changes

Use ContentOSC for cues that may move around during show prep. Use Position for sequences that run in order.

Presets

Pre-configured button layouts are available in these categories:

• Transport (Focus) - GO, STOP, PAUSE, RESUME, PREV, NEXT
• Transport (Global) - GLOBAL GO, GLOBAL STOP
• Cue Info - Current cue, time remaining, focused stack, transport mode
• System Status - Devices, licenses, server status, transcode queue
• Transport Lock - Unlock transport

Troubleshooting

Connection Issues

1. Verify the Server IP is correct (check Dashboard > Settings > Show Control)
2. Ensure Companion is enabled in EventSync settings
3. Check the passcode matches exactly
4. Verify the EventSync server is running

Variables Not Updating

• Ensure the connection status shows "OK" (green)
• Check that cue stacks exist in EventSync

Feedbacks Not Working

• Verify the stack name matches exactly (case-sensitive)
• Check the connection status
