  • 1.  Controlling template variables in Xpression from Dashboard 6.0

    Posted 06-28-2013 12:01
    Hi !

    I'm working on a dashboard xpression panel that controls graphics for soccer matches.

    I would like that when a button in the dashboard panel is pressed the score wil be added and updated on the graphics.

    Can this be done through the RossTalk interface or some other type of interface ?

    And how is it done, is there any documentation for this ?

    BR,

    Ole A. Torvmark

    Hi Ole,

    The quick summary is that you are going to:

    -make a parameter in DashBoard that represents the score.(one for each team)

    -This parameter will be DataLinq'd to XPression using the DataLinq server

    -You can make buttons in the UI that changes the value of that score (increment/decrement/set to a specific value)

    -All of these changes are live, so, if an XPression scene is on air that is DataLinq'd to these values those changes will appear instantly on-air.

    I'd start first by reading the XPression DashBoard document it gives an outline of how to do most of this.

    http://www.rossvideo.com/software/dashboard/Beta/DashBoard_Release_Notes%206%202013_05_27_T15_XPression_V5.pdf

    When you want to create a button that modifies a parameters value, add a task to that button of type 'DataModification'.

    If you have further questions after reading the documentation please let me know which sections to help you with.

    Troy.
