Hi there, Our Engineering Team is still looking into the issue, but I was wondering if this problem was also symptomatic? Recently, Machine 1 (XPression 1 & 2) has been randomly locking up, and needing a quick reboot. Basically, I try to play a graphic -- the Cue reads "TRANSFERRING" -- ...

Please contact tech support and ask them to upgrade to the latest 7.0 build. There was a fix in 7.0-3835 that should resolve your issue. #XPression

Which version of XPression are you running, and how often does this occur? It's sporadic/random, however I do think it's starting to happen more frequently. :confused: It only happens to graphics that "play on" and are Keyed over air. Thanks for the help. Take care! #XPression

Hi All, I'm using a Remote Sequencer to play on Supers, OTSes, etc. on air for local newscasts. Sometimes I'll hit "Take," and the graphic won't automatically start to play... only to then *rapidly* play on. Anyone else every experience a lag/issues like this? Any suggestions? Thanks, ...

Hi all, Thanks for all the replies and suggestions... The monitor was locked because someone had accidentally hit "HOLD." lol :P All the same, you make a good point about a recent backup... I'll work on that this week. Thanks again and take care! Sincerely, ~Sean #Vis ...

Can't change sources for Double Boxes

Hi all, Been a while since I had to send out an S.O.S., but this one's got me stumped. ... I learned today that our Switcher (suddenly) can't change the left-side of our Double Boxes (Remotes). Basically, I try to hit the "SEL" (Select) button above Key 1, a split-key for this ME, and ...

Background Animation isn't loading

Hi, everyone! ... Ran into an odd issue at our local news station yesterday, where the Background Animation for an OTS wouldn't load. The graphic plays on as intended -- and you can even see the Background in iNEWS' preview window -- but the Animation never materializes on air. It's for ...

Hi all, This is probably a really basic question, but is there a way to export a Scene in XPression into a still image like a JPEG, TARGA or PNG? Thanks for all the help! ~Sean

Thanks for the reply, Les. Please forgive my ignorance, but the majority of what you stated above I don't understand. lol Can you define what a GPO is? A GPO Trigger? I've heard of GPI, but to my knowledge, our Switcher does none of that... or at least, never has before. Also, what ...

Hi, all. Happy New Year! :D ... During the holidays, my station lost their lead Graphic Designer, so a lot of the knowledge for more build-based features/functions with XPression went out the door with him. Bugger. Anyway, I'm trying to pick up some of the slack -- making varying progress ...

Hi, all. Happy New Year! :D ... Curious, my station is soon going to make rolling video out of our Vision Switcher mandatory. The "Roll Clip" button, once activated, works as intended but after the first Clip in the desired channel plays, instead of Cuing to the next video, it just cuts to Black. ...

Hi all, I'm endeavoring to build a simple Custom Control that would serve as a "generic" Wipe for Preview/Program. My intent is to use one of our DVE "Squeeze & Tease" Wipes (Lens Flare) as the Transition, but every time I try to build the Custom Control, all I create is a Cut. ... ...

Hi Les, Hope you're holiday was joyous. :) I've been working with these suggestions, and learned a lot - thank you! - but I'm still stuck trying to assign this split Key properly. Attached should be a screenshot of what I'm trying to change. I *think* the final piece of the puzzle is learning ...

I can, but only to a single source... Is there a way to effect the split? How do I create a split, if I wanted to start from scratch? Thanks, ~Sean #Vision
