Hey Tamer - This should be fairly straightforward to setup. The simplest way to do this is to have XPN send a GPI back to Dashboard. A few things to do to make this work… 1a- In Dashboard: “Window\>Preferences\>Rosstalk GPI Listener” - Enable and set to a port not being used. I like 7790 since it’s not the default. 1b- Build a Dashboard button that does what you want, and then double click to edit that button. In the “Trigger ID” field, make up a custom GPI name, aka “RED”. 2- In Xpression: Configure your scene to send a Rosstalk “GPI RED” command to the ip address and port (7790) of your Dashboard computer. You can do this as an “OnOnline” script or as a Rosstalk item on your default Scene Director. Hopefully that points you in the right direction. Does that make sense? ---

First you’ll need to setup your outgoing IP & Port in GPI board in “Edit\>Hardware Setup…\>GPI/Tally Boards”… ![](https://discourse-rossvideo-uploads-east2.s3.dualstack.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/original/2X/c/c1f9c1d7d77da81879d899240db3685f5cbefc8c.png) Then, within your scene director Rosstalk trigger, it would simply look like this… ![](https://discourse-rossvideo-uploads-east2.s3.dualstack.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/original/2X/e/e429aad6bfad52d1c725cc60012197c5e201283b.png) ---

Take a look at this panel and see if it helps. Copy the code below into a new custom panel… /_! block id=1000 !_/ ogscript.setStyle(“TriggersXpression”, “bg#red”); /_!!_ _!!_/ /_!!2b575a14c842a15a867195bd1d2fa6a4!!_/ /_! block id=1001 !_/ ogscript.setStyle(“TriggersXpression”, “bg#green”); /_!!_ _!!_/ /_!!d3bf0bc6332ff868596bbf9bffa610b8!!_/ ---
