We currently broadcast a video stream of some of our live radio shows and I would like to add “Now Playing” captions on screen. Our video software is VidBlaster 4 and I have set up the TCP server which is working correctly as I can successfully display TEXT information onscreen by sending a TCP string using a terminal emulator such as Putty. I am now trying to send the “Now Playing” information via OCP+. I have configured an IP/RS232 connection on OCP to send:
apiwrite overlay 1,text, [(<OCP_NOW_ITEMTYPE>=Song) <OCP_NOW_ARTISTNAME_1> - <OCP_NOW_ITEMTITLE>]
The VidBlaster TCP server indicates that it is connecting since a red indicator is displayed each time but no text information is being received. To simplify things I have also tried sending exactly the same string that works on Putty which is:
apiwrite overlay 1,text, HELLO WORLD
….but this doesn’t work either. I’m sure it’s just a simple syntax issue but I’m running out of ideas.
Any suggestions?

Hi Peter,
I have uploaded a short video here for you to take a look at:

I'll leave it up for a few weeks. Let me know what you think.
