Hi,
During recording we're triggering the record option in (TRK Inputs) with an OSC trigger. This is recording only the tracking info of the PTZ's. This works fine, but on the preview I want to create an overlay displaying information, like if tracking is being recorded. I can't seem to find where it's defined or retrieve the logic value.
Hi,
Yes, that Bitoggle stores if the recording is active or not.
The best practice is to use a Transmit module:
You will be able to receive this logical value anywhere in your project using another Transmit module. You can even receive it at the root of your compound. More on Transmit modules here: https://aximmetry.com/learn/virtual-production-workflow/preparation-of-the-production-environment-phase-i/scripting-in-aximmetry/flow-editor/pin/#transmit-modules
When you update Aximmetry, revert your camera compound, and you will have to add again the Transmit module like above. But any logic that you did at the receiving transmit module you can keep as long it is not in the camera compound.
Note, that when you are recording, you can see this in the preview output of that CAM:
Also, when you turn on the recording, the Playback Restart pin is triggered:
It is also triggered a few seconds after you stop recording. So using this you might not need to edit the camera compound at all.
Warmest regards,
I have found the trigger in the TrkCam_RecordControl.xcomp, which is used in the MixedCam comp. But would it be best practice to modify (expose) that trigger, or is there another way? As I prefer to keep these modules intact, so changes don't break in an update.
