OLA output plugin
Introduction
The OLA plugin allows direct communication between QLC+ and the OLA framework on the
same machine.
Requirements
The OLA plugin requires OLA to be installed on the system.
Since OLA doesn't run on Windows, only Linux and OSX users can benefit from this plugin.
Information on how to download and install OLA can be found here.
QLC+ needs the OLA server to be running to be able to communicate with the OLA framework.
This can be done either manually by starting up "olad" from a terminal or in the configuration
panel, by ticking "Run standalone OLA daemon".
Configuration
When pressing the configuration button over a OLA output line, a small popup window will
appear, showing the basic information of how QLC+ outputs are mapped against OLA universes.
On the bottom, a check button will allow you to force the OLA server startup.
OLA Setup
When you make sure everything is working in QLC+ and how universes are mapped, you can
setup OLA to output the signal received from QLC+ to a DMX device, either USB or over the
network.
Here's an introduction of OLA usage.
Basically you need to open a web browser, connect to http://localhost:9090 or
http://127.0.0.1:9090 and add a universe with the same number mapped in QLC+ and select the
desired output line.
