In these videos we’ll use two different

methods to connect Point of View to Do-more Controllers. The easiest way is to use Tag Integration,

where you just export the tags from the Do-more Designer Software into a CSV file, then tell

Point of View where to find that file. While that is quick and easy, it does have

some limitations and there are some important caveats you need to be aware of when using

tag integration, so we put those in a separate video just to make sure they don’t get glossed

over … In the 4th video we’ll look at the second

method to connect Point of View to a Do-more controller – which is using the Main Driver

Sheet. Just like Tag Integration, the main driver

sheet is just a big lookup table. The difference is with the Main Driver Sheet,

YOU manually fill in the details. While that is harder and a little tedious,

it gives you total control over how the tags are brought into Point of View which can be

really handy in some situations AND it gives the Point of View project a way to talk the

Do-more controller if you don’t happen to have access to the controller’s software

to do the export. Can you do both? That is, can you use tag integration to bring

in the bulk of the tags, but then use the Main Driver Sheet to tweak the few tags that

need special attention? Sure. So take a few minutes to watch these brief
