  • 1.  DIFFERENT DATALINQ SOURCE POWERPOINT

    Posted 08-08-2023 10:46

    I work sometimes for Opera concerts in different languages. The projector at the theatre is in a PowerPoint file.

    We already linked the computer of the projector to the Ross switcher.

    Can I use a PowerPoint file as a Datalinq Source?

    Not directly no. 

    Do you want to show each page with images etc as it is in ppt or do you just want to to take the content such as the text and display it how you want in your own graphics?

    Thank you Simon, I supposed that, is impossible to do a Datalinq source directly from the PPT.
    Right now, I am copying the text to a .TXT to make the Datalinq source.

    I asked because If I find a solution, the lines at the Theatre will be the same exactly without the work of the operator, I know it is a bad solution for me if I want to keep working LOL ;-)

    It depends on your end goal is will depend on what I can recommend but ppt cannot be used as a data source directly.
