Show the current PlayoutONE title on OnAirScreen

Aiir PlayoutONE can control OnAirScreen natively via Monitor → Metadata outputs (HTTP GET or UDP). The NOW footer line accepts NOW:TEXT.

ON AIR LED from the mixer: Drive LED1 from Data Controller GPI.

API reference: OnAirScreen API / UDP / HTTP / MQTT
Aiir docs: Metadata outputs in Monitor

Optionally the same for the second footer line: NEXT:…. Maximum 500 characters. OnAirScreen does not read Billboard text files.

On Windows test with oas_send.exe from the OnAirScreen license:

oas_send.exe --ip 192.168.23.5 "NOW:Artist - Title"

If OnAirScreen runs on the same PC, use 127.0.0.1.

Launcher → Type Manager: enable Billboard on the Song type (and any other types you want on the studio screen). Without Billboard, Monitor has nothing to send. Billboard setup

In Monitor → Station Settings → Metadata outputs add HTTP GET (not POST):

• URL: http://<onairscreen-ip>:8010/?cmd=NOW:Artist - Title
• Method: GET

Format variables use two percent signs: Artist, Title (same as Audio Engine / text-file / Omnia outputs in the Aiir docs). Confirm names in Monitor’s format help.

A second output can send NEXT:… if your version exposes next-item variables.

Firewall: TCP 8010.

Same Metadata outputs list: TCP and UDP.

• Protocol: UDP (not TCP)
• IP: OnAirScreen host (or 127.0.0.1)
• Port: 3310
• Data: NOW:Artist - Title

No HTTP encoding. Firewall: UDP 3310. OnAirScreen has no TCP command port.

• Replace IPs after 10s and WARN behave as on the other playout howtos (WARN hides NOW/NEXT).
• Text File / FTP / Meta Radio XML outputs are the wrong receivers for OnAirScreen.
