Time-Code and Real-Time View on a 3rd Party’s screen / computer

X3nion

Hello,

I’ve got a question. Does there exist a software and interface for Traktor or Serato devices, which allows me to use time-code signal and data (e.g. real-time audio waves, bpm, tracks, special time-code etc.) for remote viewing on a separate monitor / computer?

Pioneer has something like this called “ShowKontrol CLUB” and the “Pro DJ Link Bridge”.

It would be great if someone of you could give me the name of that system in case that such a software and hardware combination exists or how I could do this in an alternative way.

We would like to see those information on separate computer and screen for the LJ / VJ.

I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Kind regards,

Christian

Nope.

You could screenshare, maybe with NDI.

Someone also made an API for traktor. https://github.com/ErikMinekus/traktor-api-client But I assume you want beatgrid? Don't think that is supported.

Hey lord-carlos and thanks for your quick reply! What would this API support?

I think it would be enough for us to just visualize the wave form including the BPM, but it would be interesting to know what the API can do.

Kind regards,

Someone else also asked a similiar question over here: https://github.com/ErikMinekus/traktor-api-client/issues/5

Also, this is from @ErikMinekus ( 'Hello there' :) ).

Mostly stuff about the loaded tracks.

Here you can see a bit https://github.com/ErikMinekus/traktor-api-client/blob/main/D2/Api/ApiDeck.qml

But also master clock and if you use internal mixing mode also what channel faders are up.

In theory you could add more. Like current playlists.

The data is all going over HTTP, so you can't really send real time information like a moving waveform. And I don't think you have access to the waveform data from QML anyway.

Some people have reverse engineered the NI HID protocol to draw random things on NI controller screens, if you're good at electronics and writing firmware that may help to get the waveform drawn on a different screen, but that's way over my head 😀

Hey and thanks for all your replies! Nonetheless, this is an outstanding feature you shared with us ErikMinekus!

Best regards,
