Modify Existing Widget

Posted By Steve Witwicki 07-26-2025 14:26
Found In Egroup: Facility Control \ view thread
I have a custom panel that I designed for controlling 5 ptz cameras: I used existing widgets for several of the individual camera controls and my question is this: is there any way that I can modify individual components of an already existing widget? As an example, in the iris controls widget-is there ...

Manual vs. Auto Focus

Found In Egroup: Camera Motion Systems \ view thread
As much as I THINK I know about video, I still get tripped up on this concept: AUTO vs. MANUAL focus. I have 2 PivotCams and 3 PTZ 12G cameras (as well as a Canon XF405) and it seems that all of them behave in the same way. I THOUGHT that if I have a camera on MANUAL focus, no matter what movement ...

Create Backup for Ross Carbonite Solo

Found In Egroup: Production Switchers \ view thread
I'm sure this is probably simple but can't seem to find the instructions anywhere. We have a Ross Carbonite Black Solo 13 and have several custom controls, keys and other settings programmed. Occasionally we have issue with it locking up and I'm always hesitant to reboot it since that means I'll need ...

1. Dashboard version is 9.10.1. 2. The physical joystick I was referring to is the one on the control surface of the switcher we have: Ross Carbonite Black Solo 13. The virtual joystick I was mentioning is on a widget of a custom panel I built in Dashboard. (see attached screen shot) 3. No ...

Camera Movement on PivotCam

Posted By Steve Witwicki 11-05-2024 11:16
Found In Egroup: Camera Motion Systems \ view thread
We have 5 PTZ cameras: 3 are the newer PTZ-12G models and 2 are the PivotCam-20 versions. The 12Gs run nicely using Dashboard or the joystick on our Carbonite Solo 13 but the PivotCams are quite erratic. The movement is so quick that it's often not possible to position them accurately using either Dashboard ...

RE: Browser Window Enlarged

@James Peltzer-I tried every iteration of the dropdowns, with and without the 'Enable Browser Fallback' option checked, each time performing a restart in between. No change on any selection. @Richard Crutwell-attempted your suggestion and after downloading the runtime and trying to install, turns ...

Browser Window Enlarged

Found In Egroup: Facility Control \ view thread
This is a strange one. We have been using a custom panel as show below for about two years now without issue. It contains a drawer that displays a browser window for remote control of our Canon XF405 that we use to access gain and other functions quicker than the camera op can do using the menu and small ...

Keyer "Half On"?

Posted By Steve Witwicki 06-26-2024 22:10
Found In Egroup: Production Switchers \ view thread
We have a Carbonite Black Solo 13 and one of my keyers is programmed in Live Assist to apply a logo "bug" on our program feed from the MediaManager. I notice that when we manually activate a key, the color changes from whatever it starts at to white for the period of the transition (if there is one) ...

PTZ Tally Status

Found In Egroup: Camera Motion Systems \ view thread
We have 5 Ross PTZ cameras (3 PTZ-12G and 2 PivotCam SE) and up until today the tally status was working fine. Today, for some reason, I could not get the tally lamps to light (red or green) initially on amy of them, either on the camera or on a status indicator we have programmed for them on Dashboard. ...

Audio Control in Carbonite Black Solo 13

We are currently using a Carbonite Black Solo 13 to mix for our church live streams being sent to a Resi encoder. When our service is ending, I currently switch to a static image (sourced from our computer using ProPresenter) and then after 15 seconds fade to black. What I'm wondering is, is there a ...

Custom Control to Move PIP Selection

Found In Egroup: Facility Control \ view thread
We have a Carbonite Black Solo 13 and I'm trying to create Custom Controls to be able to reposition a PIP image that was defined in LiveAssist for a specific Keyer. I've already set up a Custom Control sequence on Bank3 to be able to change the video source for the PIP image in the keyer. Now, I would ...

ANSWERED. (by me!) I'm beginning to think that lately, each time I post and folks see who the OP is that they intentionally do not respond even if they have an answer! :-) Turns out I could not find a way to DISABLE a panel control or widget BUT I found a way to not be able to use it conditionally. ...

We have 5 PTZ cameras and from time to time we have an issue during a live broadcast that causes problems. While I've designed the custom control panel that we use to visually help the video director know which camera is on program, we still have occasions where, because we're trying to keep our shots ...

SOLVED: Hey Zane-thanks for reaching out. Seems I have resolved both issues and, unfortunately, because in my haste, I didn't follow good troubleshooting steps, I'm not sure exactly what resolved the issues. Instead of doing one step and testing at a time, I applied a number of changes and since it worked ...

PTZ Cameras losing focus and movement is too fast

We have had a couple of PivotCams for about 4 years and three of the newer PTZ-12G cameras for about 2 years now. Just recently, for some reason, two things are occurring. First, we are intermittently losing focus-there have been times when we save presets on Dashboard and then, when we recall that preset, ...
