Disclaimer
I no longer have access to a Blackmagic Design Smart Videohub and I am unlikey to get access any time soon. Due to this I am unable to test any changes personally. If you would like to use this script and are willing to keep a dialogue going about any problems you have please use the github issue reporting and I will try to fix it. However, with out the actual equipment my fixes are just stabs in the dark.
smarthubctl
A simple python script for controlling Blackmagic Design Smart Videohub unit. This script is intended to allow for the control of a single unit over TCP/IP from the show control software QLab. However, it can also be run manually from a shell, where it should be cross-platform compatible.
This script is written in python V2, as this the default version that ships with macOS. If you have a different version of python running on your mac or PC I believe it will still work, however, I haven't had the chance to test it.
Input and output numbers are normalized by the script to allow for human numbering to be used.
Usage
All methods of use require the placeholder to be changed for the IP address of the Smart Videohub unit. For example the line address = "<IP ADDRESS>" should read something like address = "192.168.1.100".
Using the script from the command line called in the following way:
python smarthubctl.py *input* *output*
For example to route input 5 to ouput 7 the command would look something like this:
python smarthubctl.py 5 7
To allow the script to run from QLab, you need to call the python script from an AppleScript cue like so:
'do shell script "python /path/to/script/smarthubctl.py *input* *output*"'
To route the same example as above from QLab the AppleScript cue would read:
'do shell script "python /path/to/script/smarthubctl.py 5 7"'
