  • 1.  QR Code or Bar Code reading for University Commencement

    Posted 03-07-2019 22:51
    I work for a University and we are looking to display the names for our graduation on screen. These names do not come to stage in order so I'm looking for a workflow to use a QR code or a Bar Code that can be scanned at the stage. This card would be unique per student obviously. So how do i utilize Xpression to cue names in order when scanned and then the operator can trigger them once they walk on stage. I've seen this been done with other university and i know there is a company that does it, but they don't use Xpression. Any and all help is appreciated. We have 2 single channel Xpression Prime units, so i hope this does not limit my options.

    I think this is more a question of what can the QR code reader software do, and less of what XPression can do. Because your main limitation is going to be what the QR reader can do when a QR code is scanned and what is in the QR code. I picture that you either want XPression to read from a database/file the QR reader creates or trigger XPression/Dashboard as QR codes are scanned.

    What information will be in the QR codes?

    Do you already have the QR reader and its software? Or are you starting from scratch?

    Can the QR code software:
    - build a database as codes are scanned?
    - send TCP messages as codes are scanned?
    - build a webpage?
    - write to a file?

    Will the QR codes have:
    - IDs?
    - Names? (how will they be formatted?)
