RE: Chromakey turns off

You are probably using the Same CK Resource in both of those. The ME keyers do not directly take control of the CK engines -- They are able to re-use the same ones so you could have the same chromakeys but then different compositions. The CK is effectively providing an Video + Alpha to the ME keyer ...

I answered in the other post -- sorry for the delay but first time posters get held for approval to sort out the Bots/Spammers.. ME P/P is a Program / Present ME. The Ultra Family and newer lines use that concept vs the older Black/Graphite series where when you added MEs the Highest ME would be the ...

Hi David, Those are default user buttons that ship with all the panels. ME P/P is a concept that is in the Ultra Series that was never in the Graphite however you can print labels to replace those on transparent sheets.

HI, The file does not need to be edited "in the file". When the layout is applied to the controller you then have that device in your DashBoard NODEs and you will link from it to which OIDs you need to control from which Midi Commands. You don't need to edit the file you edit the device. The custom ...

the "CG" device type is meant for using the CII Gateway and is more for use with mos graphics where you want to control it via overdrive prior to caprica. Generally with XPression we use the RossTalk interface and you build the Custom Controls you need to control the Sequencer and take items you want ...

RE: Dashboard - display status of GPO that has been configured for TALLY behavior

Found In Egroup: Production Switchers \ view thread
Set the GPO up as a Tally Mode Operation Then use an "Aux Bus" that you are not actually using as a "source" on another Aux Bus that you are not using. So lets say Aux 28 will be the fake output. You set that up as "always on air" in the on air menu. Then in the inputs you go to internal and attach ...

Hi Rory, You might want to try to do an upgrade on the switcher and if that is not working for for a full recovery of the panel (that will require making a bootable USB and accessing the Bios to boot from that and recover the full install) https://rossvideo.community/viewdocument/touchdrive-v331-software-download ...

That is an issue with Companion in that it will take control of the port and "lock it up" you would be best to setup a second GPI/RossTalk board in XPression with a different port to use for Companion / Switcher etc. I can't remember if companion will allow you to change the port it uses to something ...

When Brian Ford wrote the Memory Attributes for Vision he mentioned "we should have added a way to have Recall Overrides.." so when we were doing it for Carbonite I thought "what would Brian want to improve it...".. Great feature -- though it can at times catch people :) it is a double edge sword. ...

This is kind of what Recall Over ride Attributes are for. Being able to set them to Forced Recall or Forced Never Recall.

It is not possible for the Custom Control to send those events. Those kinds of events are contained inside the panel and are not messages that are available in side of the custom control to be sent to the panel.

Yes what that event is doing is sending a command to the device ... it is NOT triggering a Custom Control ON your switcher. So you would use like you suggest a GPI number that is going to trigger the button on the Dashboard panel you are using as a protocol converter. RossTalk is just a TEXT String ...

you won't be able to make it look exactly like a button (well I guess you could put an image behind it..) Change the widget hint to a Label. Then you can Apply Changes to see it change. now go to Style tab and you can manipulate the label to get it pretty close to what a "button" looks like. ...
