Graphics

Hey Gaurav, could you make a small dashboard panel that does the same functionality? 

Hi Red,

A dashboard will not be a viable option cause this template needs to be played in the PCR by the graphic operator. Rest all the templates are going thru the remote sequencer but just for 1 graphic he/she will have to switch to the dashboard in the middle of the show and then switch back to remote sequencer...

I tried using 'counter' function block in VL. When DATA IN director is played in LAYOUT mode the number is getting incremented

BUT when the same graphic is played thru the sequencer the number increments only once and then stays the same. My assumption is that when the same template is being used multiple time back to back (with differenet data), sequencer is assuming this to be a new template each time and is not incrementing the number. Is that the case?. Thou when used back to back only the data field changes and the full scene is not taken out  and in.

Is there anu other way to increment the number when graphic is fired back to back AND the option to reset once the graphic usage is complete?

Thanks

Yeah its being reset you need somewhere to store the number.

You could do this via a script on the scene director instead that increments a widget for you.

Since the widget is project level not scene level it will store the number. 

here is a script that increments a widget

Increment a widget

dim Counter as xpCounterWidget

scene.Project.GetObjectByName("1st quarter sponsor", Counter)

Counter.Value = Counter.Value + 1
