    Is it possible to read the T-bar position from automation? It's to make sure that it's not half way in a transition when a Auto dissolve is made from automation.

    Which switcher are you referencing and which protocol are you using to communicate with it?

    You have not listed the communication protocol you are using or automation system.  It might be possible if the automation system is using the OGP protocol for it to do that.

    We are using NxtEdition with RossTalk.

    I see.  No RossTalk is not a Two Way protocol.  It is "fire and forget".  There is no Polling or status messages.
