Basic Usage

Basic usage

New shows have a default, empty UserScreen.

By default, a UserScreen is locked: you can use it, but not edit it.

Once unlocked, you can drag&drop the various widgets.

Remember to re-lock it afterwards; the widgets can't be used when the UserScreen is in "edition" mode.

The QuickKey panel

This widget exposes keys that triggers the Show's QuickKeys. To be configured, re-lock the UserScreen.

On each QuickKey, you can drag&drop any of the items that you can drag on the CommandLayer; they are available in the OBJECTS tab.

  • Timelines

  • Producer

  • Specific Media Servers

  • Devices

This will create a configurable action that will be executed when clicking on the QuickKey.

A QuickKey can also execute or edit nodes in the ActionGraph; Right-click on the desired ActionGraph Node, and select "Create QuickKey".

Devices

Most devices expose a UserScreen widget. In the OBJECTS tab, select (or create) a device, and drag&drop it in the UserScreen (it needs to be unlocked).

For instance, the HTTP device can show that it lost its connection:

Widgets

The widgets in the left panel can be dragged too:

All these widgets can be interacted with from the ActionGraph. For instance, you can detect presses on a Push Button, and trigger some behaviour accordingly.

Inspector

All the UserScreen Widgets can be inspected and edited using the right panel, when in edition mode:

Multiple UserScreens and Pages

A show can contain several UserScreens; and each UserScreen can contain multiple Pages. This hierarchy is visible in the OBJECTS tab, and can be edited there:

All the Pages are visible as tabs in the UserScreen window.
