matrix-controller

GDQ's in-house system for controlling our video matrices.

Requirements

• Node.js 8 or newer (which comes with npm)
• Our super sketchy and completely un-labeled 8x8 HDMI matrix
• An Extron Crosspoint 88 component matrix

Installation

• Grab the latest release however you like. Download a zip, git clone, whatever you like.

• cd to the root directory of the program, for example:

   cd matrix-controller

• Install dependencies:

   npm i

Usage

• Connect your computer to both matrices via serial.

• (Optional) Configure the program using environment variables, command line arguments, or a config.json (in the root dir of the app).

  • See the available config parameters here.

• Run the program (it will automatically discover the matricies if they are connected):

   npm start

• Open the UI in your browser of choice:

  • http://localhost:3839 by default

• Drag inputs to outputs to assign them. That's it!
