  • 1.  Tessera - Layer Visible - Blue Boxes

    Posted 02-07-2023 14:20
    I am trying to do a command to our tessera setup for a layer visible to our blue boxes.  I want to be able to hide a layer(s) on a blue box, and then be able to reveal it back.  This way, I can fire a custom from a carbonite to our tessera system, hide a layer, they can continue to click through their show, and then I can click to reveal back and it will just have whatever graphic they are on back on the output.

    I have the following script
    dim fb as xpOutputFrameBuffer

engine.GetOutputFrameBuffer(0, fb)

fb.SetLayerVisbile(25, FALSE)​

    Which I know is close but not correct. - It is not correct because I am putting this script on the tessera master, and the tessera does not have actual FrameBuffers. - I also cannot just put the script on the blue boxes themselves, because then they talk back to the master, and the master tells the blue box to have that layer online.

    I believe what you are after is this;

    Engine.tessera.setlayervisible(25, false)

    As if there was every any doubt, Red's solutions always work.

    For anyone that finds this post later. - I wanted to be able to trigger a layer off of our tessera from our carbonite. - So I have a custom control that is sending a GPI trigger to a custom keyboard script, that is simply hiding a layer.  By doing it with a GPI, the tessera operator can also build a dashboard button to fire to the same 2 GPIs as well to do it themselves. - Did it this way, that way should there be a graphic on the screens, I want to take that down and display my live video which is under, I can take down that graphic.  The show can continue, and then if a new graphic has been fired to that layer, then that new graphic will be there when I reveal again.  Very nice little feature.

    Obviously since this is a script in Xpression, with that one GPI, I could hide/reveal as many layers as I desired in one push.
