Once channel names are configured, it is time to create macro commands. These commands will be
configured on the TriCaster or VMC1.
Conceptually the commands flow from TriCaster or VMC1 via NDI to the Viz Engine generating the NDI
source. The Viz Engine then forwards the command to Viz Trio, which in turn directs the Viz Engine
accordingly.
The general syntax is:
Delay (Frames)
Shortcut
Value
60
net##
Command:[argument] {NDI channel name} action
Shortcut:net##
The net## shortcut is used to send a command to the matching input. The number with the net command
command will match the input number being used. For example, if the NVG1 is connected on input 12, the
shortcut command will be ‘net12’.
Value: Viz command
The value will be the Trio command along with any arguments required. The
[ch]
variable is necessary and
should be typed into the macro value as [ch]. Viz engine will automatically swap this variable with the
channel name. This name must match the same name in Viz Trio for successful command operation.
Common commands you may use are:
page:arm {page name} [ch]
Arm (load) a page into this channel. Replace {page name} with the correct page name/number.
page:fire [ch] take false
Performs a ‘Direct Take’ of the page that has been armed into this input.
page:fire [ch] out true
Performs an ‘Out’ on the page that has been armed into this input.
Page:fire [ch] continue true
Performs a ‘Continue’ on that page that has been armed into this input.
Other commands can be found in the Viz Trio User documentation under Macro Commands and Events.
