Starting a control element by StartOnTime with TurboPlayer
It is possible to execute a control element by StartOnTime in TurboPlayer. Here is a short description what to do to create such feature.
1. Define the desired macro:
Global Settings \ TurboPlayer \ EventsOut \ AutoModeOn
Command = TP_ToggleMode ( Activation, Auto )
Name = AutoMode ON
Program = *
2. In case of using TurboPlayer instances which run with different profiles you need to copy this macro to
Local Settings \ TurboPlayer_InstanceName \ EventsOut \ AutoModeOn
3. Create a group in DigAIRange
Title = My control group
Start mode = Start on time
Start type = Fixed start
Primary class = News
Allowed classes = <Add type ‘Control’ to the list of allowed classes>
Startmode for group elements: Sequenced
4. Create a new element in DigAIRange
Title = My control element
Class = Control
Media type = Control
Duration (total) = 0
Execution: Active + passive
Control tab:
New operation = AutoMode ON
Reference point = MarkIn
5. Save the new element and drag it into the group
6. Now you should be able playing this element in LiveAssist and in Automatic mode. The group should start automatically and the control element is following the Start Mode and Start Type of the group. Therefore you should see that the Automatic mode is activated. The control element will get the status “Played”.
This was tested with TurboPlayer 4.1 by using its default settings.
