Facility Control

So I can use Perform Cut to cut video sources and keys on and off, but is there a way to SET it rather than just toggle? Like a conditional that can sense the status of a key?

For example, I want to create a button that will set up certain video sources into destinations, and then put them on air. However, I want them to be set to ON or OFF rather than toggle it.

Fake code example: if ME:2:KEY:2 = NotActive then Perform Cut

There is a way.... Not 100% tested and not 100% supported as of yet.
But I did manage to do this a year ago actually.

Hey, cool! Thanks!

You have probably already figured it out from the other other post, but here's a bit more info.

You can figure out what OID is being used for different UI elements by going into Panel Inspector Mode. You do this by clicking Ctrl-I in a panel. Then you can double click on some UI elements and it will tell you the OID being used for that element. For example, the "Cut" button of ME1" - "Key 1" is backed by 0x992.

ME1 - Key 2, is backed by 0x996.
ME1 - Key 3, is backed by 0x99A
etc.

"‹So in your ogscript, you can do something like:

if (params.getValue("0x992", 0) == 1) {
ogscript.debug("key ME1:K1 is on");
} else {
ogscript.debug("key ME1:K1 is off");
}

Hopefully that helps.

For sure. I already got the conditional working beautifully. Thanks again for the tip. This opens up a LOT of options.
