Page 9: Welcome
Welcome The V16Pro, V4Pro and VCore show controllers are the latest versions of our original, most powerful, show controllers. They are ideally suited for the control of theme park attractions, museum displays, retail spaces, casino installations, games shows, or almost any automated venue. They provide more serial ports than any of our other controllers, and offers almost unlimited memory capacity.
Page 10: Important Information

WinScriptLive Tutorial To view the latest WinScriptLive Tutorials and Examples, launch WinScriptLive and click the “Examples” button. Tutorial “Labs” and corresponding documentation can be found in the screen that appears. WinScriptLive Tutorial Page 12...
Page 13: Winscript Live Resources
WinScript Live Resources The actions performed by the show controller are created by using the show controller's "resources." These resources can be accessed using the side toolbar, or from the "Resources" menu. Sequences Scripts are made up of sequences that are groups of events. WinScript Live Resources Page 13...
Page 14: Sequence Columns
Sequence Columns Notice the columns labeled D, A, L and Status just before the Sequence Name column. Clicking on the box places a check mark in the column for that sequence. D is disable, the sequence will not be checked for errors or run. This allows you to remove that line from the show without deleting it from your script.
Page 15 ▪ Timed This uses the show controller's internal timecode. This internal timecode can be synced to an external Blackburst/C-Sync source. ▪ SMPTE/EBU This timecode chasing mode causes the sequence to adjust its location (or scrub) in the event that the timecode skips backwards or forwards. WinScript Live Resources Page 15...
Page 16: Events
Events Each sequence is made up of lines called "Events". An event is a single step that is taken to perform the function of the sequence. Events interact with all the show control hardware and devices. Event Grid View A sequence can be viewed as either a Timeline or a Grid view. The Grid View is shown below. Event Columns: D is for Disable.
Page 17: Event Timeline View
Event Timeline View A sequence can be viewed as either a Timeline or a Grid view. The Timeline View is shown below. Timeline allows you to view and edit events in a more intuitive manner. Events can be dragged from the resources list on the left, and dropped on top of the timeline at the precise time the event needs to happen.
Page 18: Device Variables
Any of these variables can be referenced in the 'Events' by using the device name followed by a period '.'. For example, to access the automatically created "V16Pro" device variables of "LTC", type "V16Pro.LTC". Device variables may have different family members.
Page 19 Clicking on the button in the devices tab will bring up a wizard that will guide you through setting up communication from the show controller to your device. Alternatively, you can right click on a blank row and click “Edit”. This form will configure the show controller for the kind of device to be connected such as DVM, DMX, Audio or any other kind of equipment needed.
Page 20 Ethernet Types: • "UDP" – a protocol with no "handshaking." The Show Controller's port number will be used to receive data. Basically, the show controller will "listen" to messages coming to the Show Controller's port from the specified IP address. The device's port number is where the show controller will attempt to send the any command messages.
Page 21 Device Configuration File • To help keep your data organized, it is possible to save a configuration file with the device. The file itself will be stored within WinScript and can be saved at any time should it be needed to reconfigure a device or to configure a replacement device.
Page 22: Inputs
IO64 Slave Inputs The Alcorn McBride IO64 can be setup as a "Slave IO" protocol. In this mode, inputs from the IO64 are placed directly into the "Inputs" window. Once in this window, these inputs can be referenced just like other internal show controller inputs.
Page 23: Modbus Tcp Slave Inputs
Note: In order to get the "on" or "off" status of the Slave IO, an .amw script file must be sent to show controller using WinScript (Standard, not Live). The corresponding .amw script files can be found under the "Scripts" directory of the C:\Program Files\Alcorn McBride Inc\WinScriptLive\Scripts. Modbus TCP Slave Inputs Modbus TCP is a standard protocol used for many IO device modules.
Page 24 Enter the number of "Inputs" and "Outputs" you will be controlling into the boxes. The "StartingInput" and "StartingOutput" are typically 0, but may be a greater number if you're only controlling a sub-section of the IO on a particular control module. For example, if you only wanted to watch inputs 3-12 on a module that had 0-12 available.
Page 25 Click "Finish" Your IO will now show up in the "Inputs" and "Outputs" lists. To View your Beckhoff IO inputs: Go to "Resources""Inputs" to view the inputs list. Select the name of your device (in our example: "MyBeckhoff") from the toolbar You may now use your inputs as triggers, or directly in internal "events"...
Page 26: Outputs
IO64 Slave Outputs The Alcorn McBride IO64 can be setup as a "Slave IO" protocol. In this mode, inputs from the IO64 are placed directly into the "Outputs" window. Once in this window, these outputs can be referenced just like other show controller outputs.
Page 27: Modbus Tcp Slave Inputs
Note: In order to get the "on" or "off" status of the Slave IO, an .amw script file must be sent using WinScript (Standard, not WinScript Live). The corresponding .amw script files can be found under the "Scripts" directory of the C:\Program Files\Alcorn McBride Inc\WinScriptLive\Scripts. Modbus TCP Slave Inputs Modbus TCP is a standard protocol used for many IO device modules.
Page 28 Enter the number of "Inputs" and "Outputs" you will be controlling into the boxes. The "StartingInput" and "StartingOutput" are typically 0, but may be a greater number if you're only controlling a sub-section of the IO on a particular control module. For example, if you only wanted to watch inputs 3-12 on a module that had 0-12 available.
Page 29 Click "Finish" Your IO will now show up in the "Inputs" and "Outputs" lists. To view your Beckhoff IO inputs: Go to "Resources""Outputs" to view the output list. Select the name of your device (in our example: "MyBeckhoff") from the toolbar You may now use your outputs just like any other internal output.
Page 30: Buttons
Buttons Buttons refer to the front panel buttons found on the show controller. By default, these buttons are not the same as the rear inputs. Checking the “Couple” box causes a press of the button to have the same effect as a rear pulse on the corresponding input.
Page 31: Trigger Types
Trigger Types Triggers can start, reset (stop), pause or stop looping a particular sequence. Note: pause does not have the same meaning as previous versions of WinScript. Start Start a sequence running Reset Stop a sequence, and start the sequence at the beginning if it is started again Pause Stop a sequence at its current location, and resume from that point if it is started again Stop Looping...

This event, like with any other, can be edited with the Properties window at the right of the screen. The contents of the newly created sequence can be edited in the Grid window that appears below the Timeline when the event is double clicked.
Page 37: Display Options
New Media: This button creates a new media event for any existing device that has a command with media file support. Once a device is selected, the media files dialog will allow a file to be added or selected to be placed onto the timeline.
Page 38: Markers
In this new window, shows the list of all the groups. From this window, you can add new groups, delete old groups, change their colors, hide a specific group for a sequence, and set a default group. Add New Group: To add a new group, click the “+” symbol. This will add a new group to the global list with a default name.
Page 39: Lock The Screen
Markers allow you to easily place events next to them by automatically pulling the event next to it as you drag it close to the marker. Alternatively, you can select both the event and the marker, then right click, and select Snap to Selected Marker to accomplish the same as described before. Add: Click this button to add a new marker.
Page 40: Event Buttons
Event Buttons These buttons help you to easily navigate your events. Select First Event: This button will select your first event, taking you to it on the timeline. Select Previous Event: This button will select your previous event, taking you to it on the timeline. Select Next Event: This button will select your next event, taking you to it on the timeline.
Page 41 The Properties window can be moved around the screen and be docked to the side of the application itself. Also, you can put two panes (Properties and Resources) on top of each other if needed. The application will save this customization for the next time the program is opened. If you need to return to the default layout, just go to the View menu, and click on the Default Layout button.
Page 42: Working With Media Files
Before you begin, add a device that has product file support for media file playback (such as the Alcorn McBride Inc. Uncompressed Binloop). See the section on WinScript Live Resources Devices for how to add new devices to your show. Once a device with media file support is added, all media file features will become available.
Page 43: Media Files Dialog
Media Files Dialog The Media Files Dialog allows the user to add, edit, and remove Media File information for a device. • Devices – Select the device to work with • New – Add a new Media File entry to enter manually •...
Page 44: Media In A Timeline Sequence
Scrubbing (jump within) Media Files Some devices, such as the Alcorn McBride Inc. Uncompressed Binloop, have commands that can begin playback at any offset from the start of the media. When a sequence is running, Devices that support a start offset will automatically scrub (jump to) the current sequence time.
Page 45: Winscript Live Timecode (Smpte/Ebu)
Locking to an external sync source can help keep your show perfectly timed with external devices such as a video player. The Alcorn McBride’s A/V Binloop HD is an example of a device that can also accept a Video Sync input from a Blackburst generator.
Page 46: External (Smpte/Ebu) Timecode Settings
External (SMPTE/EBU) Timecode Settings Linear Timecode (LTC) in the form of SMPTE/EBU can be used to synchronize multiple devices to a single running timecode. The Show Controllers contain a LTC reader or generator. Once configured, sequences can be locked to this LTC instead of the above mentioned “Internal Clock”. For more information on configuring an individual sequence’s clock, see Sequence Clock on page 14.
Page 47: Generate Settings
A good level for this is usually 3-5 frames. If the timecode skips ahead (or behind) a number that is less than the tolerance, the sequence will continue to execute all events normally. If the timecode skips ahead (or behind) a number of frames that is more than the tolerance, a “dropout” will be registered and the sequence will either jump ahead (jam-sync mode) or reset (reset mode).
Page 49: Winscript Live "Live Mode
WinScript Live "Live Mode" When operating in "Live Mode", all modifications to the script take immediate effect within the show controller. In addition, resources such as “Watches”, "Live Log" and "Live Display" will provide additional debugging and status information. Connect to live mode using the button located on the toolbar.
Page 50: Current Time
Current Time The current running time of the sequence can be viewed in the upper right corner of the “Events” window for that sequence. Watches All resources can be added to the watch list. This list allows for easy viewing of inputs, outputs, and variables, sequences and devices as they change.
Page 51: Viewing/Changing Value
Error Messages that cause the V16Pro/V4Pro “ERR” light to blink on the front of the device are also automatically sent to the log. This message indicates what event and device caused the front error light to blink.

Page 53: Finding Devices
Once connected, it should bring up a “Ping Device” window. After clicking Send Ping the window should send some pings and end with “Device Found” if the connection info for the respective device you are pinging was properly configured, and the show controller is able to communicate with it. If you were unable to successfully ping it, you may have put incorrect connection info for the device, and should read the next section, “Finding Devices”.
Page 54: Setting Device Addresses
Setting Device Addresses After the scan, once you select the device you wish to connect to and click “Next”, a “Change Location” dialog will appear, offering the following options: Option 1: Change the device to use WinScriptLive location This option should be used if you want to change the AMI/O's IP address to match the address you have already specified in WinScriptLive Option 2: Change Winscript to use found device location This option is only available if you have already set the IP address of the AMI/O, and have found...
Page 55 To change address back to 0.0.0.0, the DIP switches must be toggled and at least one cold boot must take place. To do this, follow the on screen instructions (printed here) 1. Set the DIP switches 1-8 to "ON" and power cycle 2.
Page 56: Show Controller External Control
Ami-Terminal is a serial, USB or Ethernet client software that can connect and send simple commands to the V16Pro. It can be launched from the "Tools" menu in WinScript Live. All commands available to control the V16Pro are displayed with easy to use buttons. No additional setup in the Script is required. Show Controller External Control...
Page 57: Webpage Control
Webpage Control Sequences can be started using form buttons in HTML. Variable values can also be pulled into webpages. See the "WEB Server Quick Start" section of this manual for more details. TCP Client (Telnet) Control Any iPhone app capable of sending TCP or UDP messages can control the V16/V4Pro. For TCP, a server port must be setup in your devices list.
Page 58: 2: Add Incoming Message Triggers
2: Add Incoming Message Triggers After you've created sequences that do what you'd like, you can add triggers to those sequences that allow the Putty to start the sequence. In this example, I have two sequences named "OutputOn" and "OutputOff". To allow these sequences to be started with an iPhone app: 1.
Page 59: 3: Control With Putty Or Tcp Client
4. Repeat steps 1-8 for the "OutputOff" sequence. Use the text "off" for step 7. 5. Send the script to the V16Pro. 3: Control with Putty or TCP Client Any TCP client can now sent the "triggers" strings that were setup in the above example.
Page 60: Redundant Mode
Redundant Mode Setup To enable redundant mode, use AMI-Terminal to configure both V16Pro units: Open AMI-Terminal from the Tools menu in WinScriptLive Select "V16Pro" from the product list.
Page 61 Note: in the end it will not matter if you "Force to be Slave" or "Force to be Master". Which ever V16Pro is first box to be powered on will be the master. The slave will automatically convert to master if the master "goes away."...
Page 62: Redundant Mode In Touch Panels
Notes: Make sure the script is the same in both V16Pro units. You can still send a script to either master or slave unit but you can only enter "Live Mode" while the unit is in "master" mode.
Page 63 Check the box for "Secondary Controller" and enter the IP address. It doesn't matter which controller is the master or slave at the time, Touch will automatically switch between the two if it fails to communicate more than twice. You will see a message in the Touch Log that states when a switch is made between the Primary and Secondary controllers.

The V16Pro provides many serial ports used for programming and controlling show related machines. The serial interfaces are RS-232, RS422/485, MIDI, USB and Ethernet giving the V16Pro greater control flexibility for all system and show control functions. RS-232/422/485 Ports A few words on the RS-232C port differences. As shown in the table below, take note of the differences between the programmer port and the show control ports 1-16.
Page 90: Ethernet Ports
RS-422/485 TX+ Ethernet Ports The 2 Ethernet ports on the V16Pro do not have data pass-thru capability and cannot be used as hubs, switches or routers. Both ports can be show or programmer ports. If your control is assigned to one of the other programmer ports, you may have two independent show control network ports if needed.

Digital Inputs Input Connector The V16Pro has 16 opto-isolated inputs that can control the show operation. If desired, the software may be configured to allow the front panel buttons to mimic these inputs. Otherwise, the front panel buttons operate independently, as an additional set of sixteen inputs. We’ll describe your configuration operation in a couple of pages.
Page 101: Voltage Inputs Vs. Contact Closures
Two forms of inputs can be applied to the Parallel Inputs connector: Voltage Inputs, and Contact Closures. When a specific input on the V16Pro is software configured for Voltage Inputs, power for the connection is provided by an external source (in-rack power supply etc.), but when the input is configured as a Contact Closure, power is taken...

Page 142: Hypertext Transfer Protocol
Hypertext Transfer Protocol The show controller’s have a built-in HTTP server for serving web pages to remote web clients. By default, the server is available on both Ethernet ports using TCP port 80. The server can be disabled from one or both ports to prevent unauthorized access to this service (see the section on Web Server Configuration).
Page 143: Show Controller Web-Script
Show Controller Web-Script The show controller’s HTTP server supports a scripting language with a similar syntax to the widely used PHP language. This syntax is recognized by many modern HTML editors and therefore will not interfere with the design of a web page. Although the syntax is similar, the show controllers do not support the PHP language.
Page 144: Variables
Variables There are three global variables: $_POST, $_ENV, and $_SERVER. These variables are used in a similar way to their PHP counterparts. The show controller web-script does not support local variables and does not allow the value of a variable to be changed directly (see the section on Functions).
