You can control your show using the WATCHOUT Display Control Protocol
Connect for example by using PuTTY
Authentication
Before you can give any command to the display software (with the exception of the “ping” command), you must specify the authentication level. For example the production interface needs level two. However, in order to control WATCHOUT display software, you only need authentication level 1:
authenticate 1
WATCHOUT responds with a Ready message. You can now send other commands.
