Abstract
A stage automation system may include a first and second executing program configured to selectively control a first and second actionable mechanism, respectively. The stage automation system may further include a stage automation server configured to: receive, from the first executing program, a distributed program object announcement including a set of one or more time-stamped variables associated with the first actionable mechanism; transmit a distributed program object announcement to the second executing program; receive one or more data packets from the second executing program; adjust at least one time-stamped variable of the distributed program object based on the one or more received data packets; and transmit one or more data packets to the first executing program to cause the first executing program to adjust the at least one time-stamped variable of the distributed program object associated with the first actionable mechanism.
