Edit buttons on Switcher

Postby Philip Hills » Wed Dec 03, 2008 1:56 pm

Are there any examples of editied buttons that I can use as a starting block to construct a custom control panel?

Hi,
by using the PB Switcher you are only able to edit the parameters of the preset buttons. You do this by right mouse click on the button. You are not able to build more buttons or faders on this interface (see switcher help file).

If you want to build up your own control interface, use
1. the PB Widget Designer:
here you have predesigned buttons, faders etc. that you can arrange like you need it.
(by right mouse click you get to the menu, see here also the help file)
Please note: there will be a new PB Widget Designer Version available soon.

or

2. the PB Automation SDK:
to see how this remote control (Visual Basic based) works, have a look to http://www.coolux.de/kb/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=62.
More information about PB Automation SDK you will find in the Pandoras Box Online Manual.

Have fun!

Thanks Julia,

I have been experimenting with the widget designer too,
I think my question is more specifically what should I enter in the 'media' field in the 2 boxes - I don't understand what format or syntax should be entered here.

Hi Phillip,

if you -for example- want to assign media file xy to Layer 2 by clicking the button, you have to do this:
Write in the field "device": 1,2 (1 for your first server, 2 for layer 2)
In the media fields you have to enter the films numeric virtual file and folder IDs

--> To assign these IDs to a media, click on your media in the project tab of your PB Media Manager, Server, ... . In the Inspector Tab you now can enter the DMX Folder and File ID (e.g. 1 | 1)]
--> see this:
