Hi,

Dont know wether this would be the right community to ask this question, but still putting forward my query.

I have used an incremental value 1 counter widget in one of my xpression scence.

But the counter widget controls and functionality are not visible on the Remote Sequencer.

So the question is, wether counter widget works thru remote sequencer or not and if 'yes' then how can i see those controls in remote sequencer.

The purpose of using counter widget is to increment a text value when ever the data changes in my scene. For that purpose my scene is working thru transition logic and i have 2 seperate directors for data in and data out. Everytime when the data changes the data out director plays and then data in director plays, which increments the text value thru counter widget.

I want the end user to have the option of reseting the counter widget either thru NRCS or thru remote sequencer. 

Thank you.

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

Thanks Red, for the script. Now how do i reset the counter to start from 1 again for a new segment?
