CITP is network based protocol for the transfer of information from a Media Server to a lighting console or Visualizer. CITP can transfer thumbnails and media names, as well as low resolution streaming previews to select lighting consoles and Visualization software.
| Note: CITP can add significant load to the network and may negatively affect performance of the Hippotizer or other network systems. We do not advise therefore using CITP during a live show situation. Instead, it should be viewed as a programming aid only. |
To use CITP, start the CITP component and add it to a Pinboard.
Enable CITP
Enables / Disables the CITP
Network Interface
Choose which Network port that CITP will use to send data.
| Note: It is considered best practice to use the data port to carry CITP to avoid congestion on the HippoNet Network |
Multicast Address
Choose which multicast grouping address CITP uses. Most of the time this does not make a difference as many applications support both the old and new standard.
What works with CITP in 4.8.1?
Please see the release notes
Setting CITP up can be a challenge, each manufacturers products may have different steps to configure. The following specific combinations are known to have a ‘trick’:
Avolites
The Avolites desk must see the CITP component start up on Hippotizer to work. The easiest way to do this is set everything up, turn the CITP component on, then restart Hippotizer again to allow the desk to see layers.
