We are pulling live clock data from a Daktronics scoreboard controller. The output is CSV.

Is there a way to have our data source set the color for the play clock numbers to red when the number is 5 seconds or less?

Thanks in Advance!

With a bit of scripting it can

Read clock value from title and check , change color of text display accordingly

@Slaver As Mentioned with scripting

Get value from title (Input.Find("title").Text("Something.Text") )

do some compare beetween value and your cutoff set

Set the textcolour API.Function("SetTextColour",Input:="title",SelectedName:="Something.Text",Value:="#00FF00" ) or #FF0000

Confusing lol! Not sure where the script would go, or how to run it. Doggy would you be willing to share an example for my situation?

They go under Settings-> Scripting and you run them by calling them or initiate them to run continuously ;-)

May I advice you then to first have a look at the help files in particular the Scripting and Automation & Developer Information headings.

Scripting is basically little programs you make that can interact with your vMix setups, call it more elaborate shorcuts.

If you don't know how to program you will need to learn to program (vb.net) or ask someone to do it for you

I assume you are using GT titles so this is how it would work following the previously mentioned logic "Read clock value from title and check , change color of text display accordingly"
The same can be done with xaml title but with some code embedded into the title (in the end more user friendly) but will demand a little more of the above mentioned learning

In order for someone to help with the code you will need to provide some details also :
- what is the name of the title input
- what is the name of the text input field
- how does the format of the clock look like in your data source
- ....
