The Command Matrix allows you to map incoming commands from external services to PlayoutONE.

Enabled / Disabled	Required: Enables or Disables this particular command
Description	Required: Meaningful Description. For example, 'Play Legal ID'
Group	Optional: The Group the command belongs to. See Selective Mode
Stations	Required: The PlayoutONE Station the command should be actioned on
PC	Required: The Data Controller PC that the command will be actioned on
Incoming Command Service	Required: Where the incoming command is coming from
Incoming Command	Required: The command from the service to watch for
Outgoing Command Type	Required: Choose an already built command in PlayoutONE (Predefined). Build your own PlayoutONE command (Command) or choose Passthrough (See Passthrough)
Outgoing Command	The Outgoing Command
Settings	Settings for the command include the ability to set an alarm for if the command isn't received after a set period of time.
DayPart	Choose to only action this command based on the Daypart grid.

Command Passthrough allows you to take an incoming command and pass it back out again. To set this up you need to follow the steps below

For commands that are static and never change, simply change the command type in step 4 above to Passthrough.
For commands that have dynamic content within them (Such as Now Playing Text) format the command as follows:

- Set the incoming command to be PASSTHROUGH

- Format the command sent to Data Controller as follows:
PASSTHROUGH|OUTGOINGSERVICE|COMMMAND.

For example, PASSTHROUGH|COM-A|Now Playing.. Rolling Stone - Satisfaction, will send Now Playing.. Rolling Stones - Satisfaction to the COM-A port.
Add &CMD= to the command to ignore the service.
