I am about to stream a HD event and prior to it starting I want to use a 4K camera and the virtual PTZ to animate around the 4K screen for some simple animated content.

So I set the virtual PTZ camera in 4 settings (zoomed in and tilted etc) and just want to slowly pan/tilt between them in a loop until the show starts.

How should I achieve this?

I can't see any specific trigger which would allow me to update/rotate the PTZ presets, so I tried a 'layers/multiview' using a delay to show/hide each layer (with each preset set to a layer) and no joy.

I'm sure there must be a way to loop around these presets but I'm stumped. Can anyone suggest a solution please?

Thanking you in anticipation.

I've found a solution, which seems to be a work around. Please correct me if there is a better way.

In Triggers I am using OnTransitionIn > PTZMoveToVirtualInput (etc) with a delay, so I can now scan around the 4K image as I want. Good so far.

However I either want to loop the action, or mix out of the animation into a slide 'coming soon' and then back to the animation.

I can't find a 'loop' function or 'go to trigger action no 1 in list' so I created a static slide.

However I can ONLY get the trigger CutDirect (with delay) to work to get in and out of the static slide. I would prefer a fade/mix/wipe but only CutDirect appears to work.

Is there any reason this might be? Is there another neater solution to mixing out/in of the Virtual PTZ animation?

Maybe I'm missing something, but have you tried the Playlist?

Thanks and no I hadn't.

I'll give it a try, however the one annoying quirk does seem to be that you can only 'cut' in and out of a Virtual PTZ and not 'Mix' which seems odd.

However I'll report my findings in due course.
