Send UDP String from Beyond

Hi Bob! I have a show coming up where Beyond will be the "master" running all the lasers. I'll have two other software packages running on other workstations on the same network. I'm trying to trigger their respective timelines from Beyond. One is an electronics firework firing system and the other is a Pixel controller. I can parse incoming UDP strings and launch events on those controllers. Therefore, wanting to see if I can generate the UDP strings to send to them. Thanks!
 
It is a workaround, but you could send OSC commands from Beyond (for example when you trigger a cue in your timeline), receive these in Companion (bitfocus.io) and from Companion send TCP or UDP commands to your clients.
 
Thanks Bob. I did think about the OSC path, but didn't think I could send a custom string. I've ended up building a translator of sorts to receive artnet sync and then send the udp string I need to the other systems when the time hits. I'm running for now. Thanks!
