disguise (d3)

Experimental

disguise support is early — wired in and tested in simulation, but not yet verified against a real disguise system. Disabled by default. Shake it out in a rehearsal before you rely on it, and let us know how it behaves.

ShowRevue captures disguise timeline sections as media cues on the same cue list as your lighting and QLab cues, logs transport play/stop as show events, and can optionally take disguise's timecode as a timecode source.

disguise sends showcontrol to ShowRevue

In disguise:

  • Open Transport → OSC and set it to always send showcontrol feedback.
  • Point its OSC output at this Mac's IP, on ShowRevue's disguise Listen Port (7400).

In ShowRevue:

  • Open Preferences → Media Servers → disguise and turn it on.
  • Confirm the Listen Port matches disguise's OSC destination (7400).
  • Press Apply & Restart.

Test it:

  • Move disguise's playhead into a new section.
  • Confirm a media cue appears in the Cues panel, and the heartbeat dot pulses while the link is live.

Section changes are captured as media cue spans; play / stop transport lands in the Events panel.

disguise as a timecode source

Turn on Also use as timecode source to feed disguise's timecode into ShowRevue's timecode. This only drives the timecode when no LTC is lockedLTC always wins. When it's receiving, the panel shows the incoming disguise timecode.

ShowRevue fires transport back to disguise

In ShowRevue:

  • Set the disguise IP to the machine running disguise.
  • Confirm the Send Port matches disguise's OSC input (7401).

Test it:

  • In ShowRevue playback, enable Follow Show, or click a media cue row's Go button.
  • Confirm disguise's transport follows.
