There are two ways to make a Virtual Output fullscreen. When you create one, there is the option to check the "FullScreen" tickbox: When you already have a Virtual Output, you can right-click in it to make it fullscreen: ------------------------------ Rob van Rooyen Senior Graphics Specialis ...

XPression is taking a lot of time before going on air if the Excelfile is still open. I do presume the info for your datalinq is coming from an Excel file. So be sure to close the file before going on air... ------------------------------ Rob van Rooyen Senior Graphics Specialis NEP The Netherlands ...

RE: Xpression says Preparing and there is a delay before my graphics Take Online

I've noticed quite a delay within XPression when the Excel file (I presume this is where your info is coming from) is still open. So be sure to have the file closed when on air. Then there is the option to prepare/cue a scene by pressing the "." (dot) on the numerical keypad. Perhaps this solves your ...

This native option works on the local preview but (as far as I know) not on the hardware preview render output. Here's a script that gives the operator in the sequencer the option to choose a preview frame on the hardware preview output: The above script goes in the "OnPreviewRender" section as ...

XPression Preference Option

When I set the regional settings of my computer to "English (Netherlands)", the Measurement system goes to the "Metric". That lead to flip/flop the decimal and digit grouping symbol. But that seams to lead to problems in calculation within the Visual Logic of XP. In the XPression Preference settings ...

Well, I'm generating some confusion here :-(. Going up and down the data fields is done by the ctrl-page up and ctrl-page down as you can read in the help file. Sorry! ------------------------------ Rob van Rooyen Senior Graphics Specialis NEP The Netherlands Hilversum Netherlands -------- ...

An other way is to use ctrl-page down or ctrl-up/down arrow to rotate through templated items. Than you still can use a tab inside a text object to indent... You can find in de Help file all the options :-) ------------------------------ Rob van Rooyen Senior Graphics Specialis NEP The ...

I am able to insert a Lookup macro to the "normal" DataLinq option within XPression. And I choose to link between published items and not-published items. I can even choose a column in the requested item (as you can see on the "Table" line ('@HomeTeamName.EXCELSHEET@$') in photo 1). And now ...

We've got a licence renewal every end of the year (if my company pays for it naturally ;-)). But we never get any notification from Ross if there is a new release version. Only when our support contact Ross, we're told there is, or there is not a new release. This bugs me so now and then. I want to be ...

I can save a keyboard mapping, but when I recall one in a different project, nothing happens. At least, I can't see the specific keyboard shortcuts I've made in the other project which I also want to use in the new project... I'm wondering about the use of being able to save the mapping? - ...

Is there somewhere an explanation to be found on all the options one could apply to the different DataLinq fields? There are single quotes, smaler than signs, greater than signs, dollar signs, at signs, percentage signs (any more?). But as far as I know (and yes, I've searched the helpfile) ...
