Xpression Layer Setting with SEQI Command using StreamDeck

Graphics & Virtual
1

I am using Companion on a StreamDeck. If you haven’t checked out bitfocus Companion please do so. It is fantastic.

To bring on and off air an Xpression TakeID in Companion, it appears I am limited to using the SEQI command, but it requires a layer to be specified.

I want to keep the layer as it is and not have my command change how the layer currently exists in the sequencer. The problem is I can’t specify it in my ross talk command because the graphic assigned to my Companion button will be variable each day and that graphic being called would have a different layer than another graphic.

Is there a value I can put in the SEQI command that will allow the TAKEID to keep it’s current layer property and not get overwritten by the SEQI value? Is there another command besides SEQI that would work better?

Is there no TAKE command? In my dashboards I use rosstalk command TAKE eg TAKE 101

I see a TAKE command but it looks like the TAKE(3) command as in a custom control since it has fields for take ID, frame buffer and the layer. So that actually has one more field needed to fill out. I know there used to be a TAKE(1) command that only needed the takeid field but I don’t see that available any longer in rosstalk.

In Companion, it is the same list as all available commands listed here:

Sending RossTalk Commands to XPression

Does it force you to fill those fields in or can you leave them blank?

5

Just send SEQI takeid

The layer value is optional in SEQI

The buffer and layer fields are also optional in the TAKE command.
