RE: Clocks on OverDrive monitor

Found In Egroup: Production Workflow \ view thread
We were just upgraded to the most recent version of OverDrive last week, but I can't get down there right now to see the specific number. I built the CCs in Caprica/Dashboard, as we've done before. We also started having trouble with our countdown clocks that are attached to the vid servers...but ...

Thanks so much! That does seem to work, but the custom controls aren't showing up in OverDrive Template editor. I remember this may mean something needs restarted, but I can't remember what. ------------------------------ Amy Cawley Operations Manager WGHP-TV ------------------------------

Clocks on OverDrive monitor

Hello! We use the clocks on the OverDrive program to monitor clip duration and I created 2 to use as countdown/up clocks. They can be triggered by the keyboard, but is there any way to program that macro into a custom control so that it can be triggered with a specific transition? Thanks!! ---- ...

StreamDeck and Xpression

Hey there! We are thinking about getting a Stream Deck to help control Xpression when we are having trouble with OverDrive. So, biggest question is...when using Ross Talk to program the Stream Deck, will it still work if we are having an OverDrive problem and can't use it? Thanks! -- ...

RE: Shot Box doesn't match setup in DashBoard

We do use OverDrive and have been using DashBoard to configure the Shot Box. We did a power cycle and it seems to be correct again, so far. ------------------------------ amy Blank WGHP-TV ------------------------------

Shot Box doesn't match setup in DashBoard

Hey there! We are using a Custom Control Shot Box to execute custom controls on our Acuity and it is set up thru the DashBoard. Yesterday we noticed that the buttons on the box no longer match the way they are setup in the DashBoard and I can't figure out why they would've just changed. Any thoughts? ...

OverDrive Take Prep command from Vision switcher

Hey y'all! We have recently started having a problem with our templates that have a "Take/Prep" command that makes OverDrive advance to a graphic so that the lower 3rd animates on while on-air, has not been working consistently. Sometimes it seems to just not trigger that "take/prep" and OverDrive has ...

1 -- Are you using OverDrive at all? If so that could have an issue but still workable. Y[I]es, we do use OverDrive, but so far I don't think that will be a problem...maybe?[/I] 2 -- if your using the the PGM ME to send commands to Aux for the Follow then the Keyers used on the PGM ME ...

**Yet another edit** I think I finally got it!! I had to turn "On" the Auto Follow permissions about custom controls/panels, etc... They are working on hooking up the audio now. The only downside I can find is that live boxes won't translate at all, but I might can solve that by modifying those memories ...

Thanks Les! I'm not sure that all made sense on the first read, but I'll go over it again when I can sit in front of the switcher. We don't downstream anything, all keys are on ME1 and ME2, and ME3 serves only to switch between ME1 and 2, but of course....the rare cases that someone DOES downstream is ...

Clean Feed?

Every once in a while our news department asks if there is any way they can roll on a "Clean Feed" of what we have on-air. The best example is when we have an on-set interview, and they want to use excerpts from said interview in later shows, but don't want to have all the graphics and what-not. I know ...

Just saw this reply...but.... I figured it out! Yippie!!! I used the "Copy Bus" feature to assign sources as needed, along with using background and 3 keyers coming on one at a time just before each move is executed. Thank you for replying :) #OverDrive

Thanks! We have the Vision switcher, and I was thinking the same thing about the tally....just hoping for a work around I hadn't thought of! So, I'll have to build custom controls that will tally the video behind the on-air effect and change the assignment in the channel that is up next....hmmmm!! ...

Auto-roll video running through a VIZ channel

I'll try to keep this short and sweet. We have a Ross Switcher, OverDrive, OPUS, VIZRT Graphics system and TONS video. The art department has created a VIZ template that has a box that rotates to feed sources into, only taking the VIZ channel to air. One problem with this is that TONS does not auto-roll ...

Yes, that was our first thought, but pressing the shift button again has done nothing. We have 2 shift buttons and have tried them both. We are thinking about just rebooting the switcher?? #Vision

Mnemonic Display Problem

While working on building a new effect, one of our directors double punched the "Shift 1" button on MLE 2 multiple times. After doing this, he noticed that the mneomnics display on that MLE had changed, and was now showing two rows of labels, Program and Shift 1, on MLE 2's display only. We have been ...

Ahhh yes, that is a good work around! I haven't used the effect on air either, but what I ended up doing was programming the custom control to put the TONS channel that is being wiped to on the backside of the keyer onto the front side of the keyer after the rotation has gone around enough to not see ...

I am trying to build an effect that has keyable banners on the front and back side of Key 4, running from separate VIZ channels, and 2 different videos on the front and back side of Key 3 running from separate TONS channels. I have built 2 sequences to rotate both of these keyers at the same time (for ...

Thanks Chris, Our Switcher is Version 16.1m and OverDrive is12.0.9. I looked at the "special" options, and did see the Run Sequence function. I had just been selecting the sequence and hitting auto trans when recording the customs. But, I also noticed that under the Run Sequence function, it asks ...
