We're getting a couple of Panasonic UE-150 cameras to add to our Panasonic CX350s, but I'll only have a day or two for setup before using them for the live podcast-style event they're being purchased for (starting this Friday). I will be using PTZ presets for each camera as tight shots for six guests, ...

LOL - I was just going to update my post to say you seem extremely busy (based on your comments in all the other posts) and I'm good. And you replied anyway. You're amazing and a huge testament to Ross support. I hope you get all your actual work finished as well! ------------------------------ ...

Hi, Simon. I got this working and am pretty happy with it. There's one thing I'm not sure I understood correctly - the section on copying text fields ("disp.Text = data.Text"). I'm not sure what 'disp' and 'data' represented in your example, so I did the following. Since we're grabbing two ...

We should have access to the data. Using the datalinq key method you described, how would you set up the scenes or scene group to iterate through data rows? ------------------------------ Bryan Block Malick Media ------------------------------

I can read and modify script; haven't written many from scratch but did some VB coding in a past life. There aren't any Datalinq methods in the SDK so I doubt you can query the number of rows in a source, or iterate through rows within a single script. Perhaps you could read the text property of ...

How to play a non-looping roll/crawl with unknown number of child scenes?

I have an event list I want to roll via a SceneGroup, driven by Datalinq. There are three scenes visible on screen at a time, so I've created 4 child scenes for safety in case the spacing changes. I'm feeding them via CSV text and n, n+1, n+2, n+3 for the row. When I loop the roll, it works perfectly ...

Simon, I can't open the example project in the discussion you linked to above. I'm stuck on 8.5 - maybe that's why? I get an 'exception' every time. I imported the scenes from that project, but there's no script that copies the three text objects into the child scenes. Can you paste the script ...

Simon, I missed part of your message that starts 'you can't use published fields but they can be connected to datalinq and not published'. That's all I saw in my email, but on the forum web page, I now see the rest of your post with the link to the other discussion and scripting example. I'll play ...

I haven't seen the +n method – please enlighten me! I did try my earlier mentioned method of three scenes – a background, the content scene (repeated) and a mask overlay, and it works rather well, as long as you program all the scenes to come online together. That will be my fallback method, but ...

I may have needed to be more specific. I know you can use Datalinq in a scene group (I've seen Patrick's Covid crawl video). However, We want to show a list of people and a related event (i.e. birthday or anniversary), so two fields pulled from a spreadsheet. The only way I've seen to do that (without ...

Oh - that's interesting. I hadn't seen any examples of how to use scene groups *and* use publish fields. I did see some discussion of how fields in a scene group were not exposed to the Take Inspector. Can you share the way to set this up? Thank you!

Simon, Does the parent/child relationship exist in a sequencer group also, and if so, how is it set up? I don't think you can use Scene Groups when your data scenes are Datalinq-driven – unless I'm wrong, but I haven't seen anyone do this or talk about it in the forums. Bryan Block ...

Hi, all. What we want to do is create a DataLinq-driven roll with feather/gradient masks to fade text in at the bottom and out on top. I've seen Simon's video (QT133) about using masks with a Scene Group, but I don't think you can use Scene Groups with DataLinq-driven rolls/crawls. I know ...

Is it possible to assign the built-in background generators to an output (or input, like a still store) so I can choose and display a full-screen solid color on the Acuity? We have a film crew shooting in our control room tomorrow and they discussed having either green, blue or black. on the multiviewers ...
