i only want to use it with virtual PTZ not actual cameras.. i heard Martin say with hardware this cant be done but i thought it might be possible with virtual PTZ as its just software ?

a long time ago i had an arduino and i managed to get this ramp effect working for zoom over LANC to a sony camera and it looked good.. it took me ages and what i did was very hacked together but it did work.. my coding skills are novice at best so if you have any suggestions for the code i could try i would appreciate any help..

I had a look at the existing available functions and current status optionds and highly doubt it would be possible within the vMix scripting
Doesn't mean it would not be possible with external scripting but i doubt it, you might think it would be only software but you will need to interface with hardware to ( joystick)
Question also is it worth the effort for limited result ?

on another note , would have been nice to have started this subject/discussion in a separate posting rather than a post aimed at giving general coding tidbits

Going down the rabbit hole that is Vmix capabilities. I had an idea when it comes to Data Sources and linking to 'SetImage' command depending on what the data states.

Basically I have ingested data and I would like to make a script that looks at a particular string and then sets the image in another data source depending on the string.

I already have all my data ingested properly, it's the 'SetImage' capabilities I'm unsure of to check data and creating an a trigger from that.

Any insight is helpful, much appreciated.

you want to put an image into another data source based on a first data source ? or are you trying to display an image say based on its name or so ?

I'm trying to control the Image via what another Data Source is asking for.

Example:

Data Source 1 = "Red"

Image Source = Red Square Picture

Similar when using a script , get the "Red" and translate it to your needs

Hi, as suggested by Doggy I am posting this simple VB.net code that I have created thanks to help on this forum.

The code is for a Title which has 6 pages that I want to loop through.

dim x as integer
Dim Index as integer =0
Do while Index <=100
for x = 1 to 6
sleep(10000)
api.Function("SelectIndex",Input:="Test.gtxml",Value:=x)
next x
index +=1
loop

I then added 2 shortcuts using the function "StartScript" and "StopScript" to control it.

Hi!

How to get state of Input's MultiView Overlay?

and to create condition, based on this state?

for example if now Overlay 1 is "Green" - change it to "Blue":
API.Function("SetMultiViewOverlay",Input:="InputOne",Value:="1,Blue")

and vice versa, if its "Blue" - change it to "Green":
API.Function("SetMultiViewOverlay",Input:="InputOne",Value:="1,Green")

Thank you!

Check the Overlay @ index x of the input for the Key to match the used input key from the API XML

Thanks for answer!
Where is my mistake(s)?
Condition does not works

Code:
dim xml as string = API.XML()

dim input_one_state as string = ""

dim x as new system.xml.xmldocument
x.loadxml(xml)

input_one_state = (x.SelectSingleNode("//input[@overlay='0']/@key").Value)


if (input_one_state = '1f9776fd-ea21-4ef3-90ab-a45abc073296')

API.Function("SetMultiViewOverlay",Input:="InputOne",Value:="1,Green")

else

API.Function("SetMultiViewOverlay",Input:="InputOne",Value:="1,Blue")

return
end if


and could you recommend some guide for navigation in xml?

Hi Folks,
I am new at this forum and new in vmix scripting.
I (due to an actual situation) would like to adjust
the x position of a certain Input stepwise to the left or right.

so my idea is to programm (in my language)
- take actual position of input2
- add (or substract) 0,1 to/from actual position

Hi Chris and welcome to vMix

Finally switched to vMix after so many years with ATEMs?

Check vMix API : https://www.vmix.com/hel...utFunctionReference.html

SetPanX is the command you're looking for
