Graphics

Hey all,

I'm trying to find a way to have a scene that is fired out on Xpression Studio Engine A adjust itself and react to another scene which is fired out on Xpression Studio Engine B. Two completely separate boxes. In fact, A is a Graphite and B is a Studio Engine.  

Is there a way, possibly through Transition Logic scripting to achieve this? Maybe Rosstalk messages between the two? Can transition logic scripts send Rosstalk messages or read GPIs on a remote machine?

Thanks so much!

Hi Ryan,

XPression is unaware of any other machines on the network, so using transition logic with a separate engine is impossible.

You could however use RossTalk commands but then the operator would have to select the correct Scene to play (so a scene with a RossTalk command that triggers the other machine or a scene that doesn't need to trigger the other machine).

Another option could also be to use the API. Using the API you could monitor both engine and have the application perform the Transition Logic on both machines.

A third option might be to use Dashboard but I'm not proficient enough in Dashboard to know whether or not you can check which scenes are online on an engine to decide which transition to play.

Best regards,

Kenneth
