Ableset to control screen

Hello everyone,

weird question…

I’m in a theater context, and I would need to turn Ableset screen at some point for a few seconds black, or no more text on my canvas (We are trying to do a complete black out, for the end of act 1). Is there a way to achieve that, through programming?

Thanks for any creative idea!

Nate!

I am fairly certain you can switch Canvases with OSC. so you could make a blackout canvas and switch to it.

What would be the OSC Command? I couldn’t find anything.

Thank you!

I can’t find the OSC Command (if it exists, I couldn’t find it. I may have been mistaken). I did find this though and it could be getting close to what you want.

Hey @Nathan_Shelley,

@iamderkis was right with their direction! You can create a new Canvas with no content (let’s call it “Blank”) and then use the /devices/showPage all /canvas/blank OSC command to switch all devices to this Canvas. If your devices have a name (see OSC settings), you can also address them individually or as a group (e.g. /devices/showPage stage /canvas/blank.

The /canvas/blank part is the path you see in your browser’s URL bar when that Canvas is open. To switch back to another Canvas, replace /canvas/blank with the path of that other Canvas.

Let me know if this helps! :slight_smile:
