    HI Guys,

    I'm using Dashboard Custom Panel to control the Carbonite Black 8 Auxillarys.

    In the top 8 Buttons you can choose the Auxalliry / Streams and in the bottom 36 Buttons you can choose which camera you want to switch onAir on the Auxillary / Stream.

    I want to have an indicator on the Buttons (the Button should be red) when it is on Air, but for each Stream / Auxillary independently.

    I guess this should be possible, but I dont really know how.

    I'm using visual logic for my custom control panel.

    Dashboard Panel:

    Viusal Logic Streams / Auxillary:

     

    Visual Logic Kams:

    Many thanks and best regards

    Matthias

    If I understand correctly what you are doing, you want to basically replicate what's happening on "Buses" tab of the "Live Assist" Panel of the Carbonite in your panel, but limit which aux are displayed and which inputs are displayed.  Also you want to change to color of what is on-air.

    Is that correct?  If so, I'll show you how.

    HI Ben,

    actually I want to highlight the Kamera Button in Red, which is onAir on the Auxillary.

    The procedure is, the director is using a tablett with my custom panel, an switching the cameras on the auxillary.

    Now I want to highlight the Camera button, when he choose the camera and can directly see, which camera is onAir, when he switch between the Streams / Auxillary.

    Best regards

    Matthias

    If I understand correctly, here is how I would do that:

     

    1. Drag and drop the Aux Bus you want from the Carbonite Live Assist panel

      a) Open Live Assist panel

      b) Click on Buses

      c) Click on Aux

      d) Click on the Aux you want to start with (we'll add more later).

     

      e) Drag that whole view over to the right so it's side by side with your custom panel

      f) With the Live Assist panel in focus, click on the PanelBuilder Edit Mode (or Ctrl G).

      g) Drag the bus at the bottom to your panel, click on OK in the popup.

    In your panel, you should see something like:

     

     

    Which is actually all the choices for the bus condensed in one really small area.   

    If you expand that control, you would see a bunch of buttons:

     

     

    2. Change the constraints, so it only shows what inputs you really want for those Aux buses.

      a) Double click on the thing you just dragged in.

      b) Check "Override constraint".

      c) Remove the values you don't want to use in the "Constraint Value:".   You can also rename them to what you want, by changing their name.

      d) Click on Apply and Close at the bottom

      e) Resize your parameter view to show all the buttons.

    After doing the above, and keeping only 10 choices, my bus now looks like this:

     

    3) Change the style so that the on-air color is red.

      a) Double click on the parameter view again.  

      b) Go to Style

      c) Click on the Toggle On tab.

      d) Change the "Background Color" to "red".   (You can also change the Foreground Color if you want it to match the red).

      e) Click on the "Toggle Off" tab, 

      f) Change the "Background Color" to "buttonbg"

     

    This is what is looks like now:

     

    So you now have ONE Aux bus on your panel with the right color and choices.   If things change on the Carbonite, it will update here too.   

    In my next post, I can show you how to change which aux bus this parameter view is pointing to.   So you could have a choice of which aux bus to show, and when the user changes that choice, the aux bus being displayed is changed.

     

    But before I post more, I want to make sure that this is what you want.
