Adding events and actions to primitives and objects
5. Configure the selected tally’s parameters in the T ALLY VARIABLES section.
The F ILTER V ALUE column allows you to define conditions that must be true when the
tally is received in order to carry out the action(s). The example below demonstrates
that the actions associated with the DSK State tally will only be carried out when the
tally is received and the Tally Keyer value is 1 and the Tally State is 0.
6. Click OK.
The A
DD N EW T ALLY E VENT window closes and the tally event is added to the Action
Editor as On Tally (). You can now add conditions and/or actions
to the tally event as you would for any other event type (see
page 5-12 ).
Example: Adding tally events to display the state of a DSK
The following procedure demonstrates how to configure a button primitive on a panel to
display the current state of a device’s DSK using a DSK State tally event. More precisely,
when keyer 1 on the device is up and Xpanel receives a DSK State tally, the button will turn
red and display “ON”; when Xpanel receives a DSK State tally indicating that keyer 1 is
down, the button will turn blue and display “OFF”.
1. Add a button primitive to a panel.
2. Open the Action Editor (Ctrl+E) and select the button primitive.
3. Add and configure a DSK State tally event to execute actions when Xpanel receives a
tally from the device that keyer 1 is cut up (figure
5-2 ).
a. Click the A DD TALLY EVENT button.
b. In the A DD N EW T ALLY E VENT window, select the channel (or the channel selector)
and the device.
c. In the T ALLY section, expand the T ALLIES category and select DSK S TATE .
d. In the T ALLY VARIABLES section, set the K EYER filter value to 1 and S TATE filter
value to 1.
e. Click OK.
The O N T ALLY (DSK S TATE -F ILTERED ) tally event is added to the Action Editor.
