Hi Catalin, Should you really want to address more memory (which is hardly ever necessary in my experience) then you can use the 64-bit version. You can reach out to Ross Tech Support for the installer you're entitled to. ------------------------------ Gerard de Vries Solution Architect ...

Hi Hylke, What I always do to 'debug' a scene which is causing problems: duplicate the scene to have a backup, than remove all content one by one and test when the scene starts to act normal. The last object you removed just before the scene started to behave normal, was most probably the one causing ...

Hi Timothy, The best codec for XPression would be the XPression codec, though using Apple Prores 4444 also works very well. By the way: I think you have mistakenly placed this post in the "Video Servers & Replay Systems" community instead of in the "Graphics" community where usually all the ...

Hi Garner, Jeff and Simon, I have reported this issue to Ross Tech Support at the end of 2024 (Ross Video Case #191464) and they would pass that on to the Dev. people. Maybe you guys can 'poke' the Dev. people for a fix. ------------------------------ Gerard de Vries Solution Architect ...

Hi, First check SDir.TrackExistsByName(Name). If this results in False, skip the rest because the track is not there. If it results in true do the SDir.GetTrackByName(Name,Track). ------------------------------ Gerard de Vries Solution Architect Live Graphics & Virtual Production ...

Hey Kenneth, How is it going? We have been using multiple AJA Kona IP cards for years. Unfortunately the Kona IP is 'end of life' since a few years, but maybe you can get one (or more) on Ebay, Marktplaats, or similar websites. I was happy to learn at the IBC that AJA is finally about ...

RE: Array property for xpFramebuffer object in the SDK containing all indexes of the layers of that framebuffer containing a scene.

@Garner Millward sad to hear that, especially since the data XPression exposes to Dashboard is exactly what I need and is pushed on changes, instead of me having to poll the engine each x seconds to retreive data that may not even have changed. But good to hear that my request for an array is 'under ...

@Garner Millward or @Patrick Twomey any comment on the above? Is or will the communication protocol of Dashboard become public in the near future? Dashboard is free anyway. Why not open the possibilities for the community to develop their own solutions using the protocol. I, for one, already have a ...

Most interesting! Where can I find this setting? I've been looking in the Preferences and Widgets of XPression, but couldn't find this. Also, when looking at Dashboard (I actually never have really worked with it) I noticed that in the Sequence Items tab the used layers of a framebuffer are listed. ...

Practically they probably will not randomly choose a layer, but theoretically they can and, basically, our assignment is to be aware of this (they are not our systems nor our operators so we can advise but not force). However, this is not the question. The question at hand is: is there an easy way to ...

Hi Simon, Unfortunately not. That would be fairly easy. Our application should also be aware of scenes being put on air manually by an operator, either through double clicking a scene in the Scene manager, or being put on air from the sequencer by an operator. So the best solution would be if an xpFramebuffer ...

For a project using the XPression SDK my application needs to know which layers of an xpOutputFramebuffer contain a scene. The only way now seems to be iterating over all layers of a framebuffer and check if there is a scene present. However a scene could, in theory, be on one of hundred thousands of ...

I was actually wondering the same thing Rob (great minds think alike I guess ;-) ) and talked to Ross about that.

Hi David, We're currently working with Ross tech Support to get the card properly supported. Usually all Corvid cards work fine in XPression, the Corvid 44 12G was, however, the exception. As of XPression V11.1 build 5786 (beta version) the outputs appear to be working. Ross is now working on the ...
