Graphics

In a few months some greater soccer events are coming up, where wel will most probably will be showing the match clock.
I've been playing around and trying stuff, so i will have things prepared for use.
This match clock will contain several elements that are controlled by several scenedirectors. Some of these elements i would like to control through keypresses, actual situation; keypress ctrl-1 would be the first red card for the home team, ctrl-2 the second, etc... Is this possible with script? Can i start a scenedirector with a keypress thats coded?
Something like this in VB?

 Private Sub TextBox1_KeyPress(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyPress    If Asc(e.KeyChar) = 97 Or Asc(e.KeyChar) = 65 Then        MsgBox("hello")    End IfEnd Sub

Ah nice! I know now what i will be doing in the time in between broadcasts tomorrow! :D

Thanks!

I'd definetly recommend using DashBoard for what you're trying achieve here.

This way you not only have the power of scripting behind you, but you can also create a DashBoard that really "anyone" can use with minimal training, and not having to be relying on that everyone knows your shortcuts etc.

If you want to take this even a step further, if you decide to go for DashBoard, you can technically do calls to external sources like JSON etc and build tables of stats etc inside DashBoard and use those to create your graphics again. Even if you decide to use sources like Excel to handle the stats/info etc for players, you can then use that table, and a selector (like jersey number) in DashBoard to pull the data for that player into a graphics.

Say you type in the jersey number 23, then that will go into the Excel sheet and fill out all the info you have on that player when the graphics goes online.
Just an example. Hit me up if you want some clues and hints on this. Been developing this myself for the last few years for our local hockey team big screen.
This DashBoard pulls data from external sources for stats and player info, listeners for live game clock feed, while talks to both Xpression, Graphite Mixer, Behringer X32 Audio Mixer, QLAB and through MIDI server also to our lighting board, controlling the entire venue from one panel.

Let me see if I understand this correctly:

1. You use the regular Xpression API to trigger a scene online with the "Sequence In" in DashBoard.
2. Then you would use the Keyboard/API Shortcuts in Xpression, set up with a script, and trigger specific Scene Directors in that scene with a Visual Basic script.
3. Then use DashBoard and trigger that API script in Xpression?

I'd definetly recommend using DashBoard for what you're trying achieve here.

This way you not only have the power of scripting behind you, but you can also create a DashBoard that really "anyone" can use with minimal training, and not having to be relying on that everyone knows your shortcuts etc.

If you want to take this even a step further, if you decide to go for DashBoard, you can technically do calls to external sources like JSON etc and build tables of stats etc inside DashBoard and use those to create your graphics again. Even if you decide to use sources like Excel to handle the stats/info etc for players, you can then use that table, and a selector (like jersey number) in DashBoard to pull the data for that player into a graphics.

Say you type in the jersey number 23, then that will go into the Excel sheet and fill out all the info you have on that player when the graphics goes online.
Just an example. Hit me up if you want some clues and hints on this. Been developing this myself for the last few years for our local hockey team big screen.
This DashBoard pulls data from external sources for stats and player info, listeners for live game clock feed, while talks to both Xpression, Graphite Mixer, Behringer X32 Audio Mixer, QLAB and through MIDI server also to our lighting board, controlling the entire venue from one panel.

In a few months some greater soccer events are coming up, where wel will most probably will be showing the match clock.
I've been playing around and trying stuff, so i will have things prepared for use.
This match clock will contain several elements that are controlled by several scenedirectors. Some of these elements i would like to control through keypresses, actual situation; keypress ctrl-1 would be the first red card for the home team, ctrl-2 the second, etc... Is this possible with script? Can i start a scenedirector with a keypress thats coded?
Something like this in VB?

 Private Sub TextBox1_KeyPress(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyPress    If Asc(e.KeyChar) = 97 Or Asc(e.KeyChar) = 65 Then        MsgBox("hello")    End IfEnd Sub

Let me see if I understand this correctly:

1. You use the regular Xpression API to trigger a scene online with the "Sequence In" in DashBoard.
2. Then you would use the Keyboard/API Shortcuts in Xpression, set up with a script, and trigger specific Scene Directors in that scene with a Visual Basic script.
3. Then use DashBoard and trigger that API script in Xpression?
