TO
PRIMITIVES
AND
OBJECTS
Xpanel’s Action Editor allows you to configure the panel, primitives or control objects to
perform actions in response to events or changes in tallies from the devices. A simple
example to illustrate this concept is that a button primitive (the object) on a control panel
can be set in the Action Editor so that when it is clicked (the event) during playout, a specific
audio file starts to play (the action).
To configure the panel, primitives and/or objects to perform actions based on events
or changes in tallies:
1.
In Xpanel’s Design mode, open the Action Editor (C
TRL
+E).
2.
Select the primitive, object or panel.
3.
Select a standard event from the Action Editor (applies only to: panels, primitives,
channel selectors, text objects, image objects and bevel objects).
Or,
Add a user event or tally event to the Action Editor.
4.
With the event selected, do one of the following:
• Add an I
F
condition and define the condition using the Expression Builder.
Add actions to the condition and set the actions’ parameters.
Or,
• Add an I
F
condition and define the condition using the Expression Builder.
Add action(s) to the event’s conditions and set the action’s parameters.
Add an E
LSE
statement and add actions to the Else statement and set the
action’s parameters.
Or,
• Add actions directly to the event and set the actions’ parameters.
