Are we able to use conditional statements with data sources?

For example, if I have a data source that will output either "0.5", "1", or "2", can I use IF statements so that vMix replaces it with a different Unicode symbol for each one?

So something like: "if {0} = 0.5 then output "◯", or if {0} = 1 then output "●", or if {0} = 2 then output "◎", else output {0}"

If not, then Feature Request?

Hi

I believe it's possible to do this using Blend.

Another solution I use is to do the case analysis and substitutions in a script on a web server that will regenerate a new datasource ready to use.

If you look at broadcast graphics systems, where I spent 20 years of my life, you'll find that there usually a point where the data collection & manipulation is taken away from the display platform.

The display platform (vMix) needs to be robust, and all the data handling can get complicated. It often makes more sense to pre-process the info to be displayed elsewhere, keeping the actual point of display as simple as possible.

It's a long winded way of saying that vMix is great but part of what makes it great is that it doesn't try to be all things to all people.
