Radio Button Adding Radio Button primitives allows you to assign actions that trigger
commands when selected/deselected by the operator either prior or
during playout. Radio button objects are often associated with actions that
are executed on the
O N S ELECTED and O N U NSELECTED events.
Check Box Adding Check Box primitives allows you to assign actions that trigger
commands when checked/unchecked by the operator either prior or
during playout. Check box objects are most often associated with actions
that are executed on the
O N C HECKED and O N U NCHECKED events.
Drop-down List A Drop-down List primitive is often used to provide operators with a quick
and limited list of options that can be selected.
The Drop-down list can be populated manually in Design mode by double-
clicking the object and typing in each option separated by a carriage return
(E
NTER ). The drop-down list can also be populated with data fed in from a
data source (see “Linking data entities to a panel object” on page 6-13 ).
When associated with the O N U PDATE event, a change to the drop-down
list’s selection can trigger actions that affect the playout’s content and/or
behavior.
Slider A Slider primitive allow operators choose a value along a continuous
range set between a minimum and maximum value. The slider’s value can
be selected in Production mode by either dragging the slider’s handle to a
precise value, or by double-clicking the slider’s handle, typing a value and
clicking off the object.
When associated with the O N U PDATE event, a change to the slider’s value
can trigger actions that affect the playout’s content and/or behavior.
Use the following properties to format and establish the range of values for
the slider primitive:
•
O RIENTATION : Determine whether the slider appears horizontally or
vertically.
• T EXT P OSITION : Determine if and where the slider’s current value can
is displayed (off, above, on the slider, or below).
• V ALUE : The current value of that the slider’s position represents.
• M INIMUM : The minimum value that the slider will accept and display.
• M AXIMUM : The maximum value that the slider will accept and display.
• P RECISION : Determines the number of decimal places of the value for
the slider’s values.
• I NCREMENT : Determines the interval value by which the slider position
will increase/decrease the current value.
