The Macro trigger enables you to combine multiple VRA Commando’s into one single action: a Macro. When activating this macro (via a commando, dashboard button or button in the list) VRA will execute the configured items sequentially or in instantly in parallel.
Macro Items
You can configure two items as part of the Macro: trigger a commando or wait for {x} milliseconds. Selecting commando’s is the same as you know from other modules in VRA.
The wait time enables you to create a sequence with time in between triggers (for example for a fallback scenario; looping over two camera’s.
Conditions
The macro’s can get really advanced by selecting conditions. These will enable or disable a item within the macro, so you can automate the full dynamic item list in the macro configuration.
Block after
Sometimes it is important to only continue triggering a section in the macro when a condition applies: “Only when music is playing, trigger the Nowplaying Clip Player, if not stop.”
With Block After execution you can prevent the macro from continuation if a condition is not applicable.
Studio switching example
Below is one of the many scenario’s you can realise with Macro’s. When the following Macro is triggered, two actions are instantly executed:
- Activate the selected studio (onair)
- Set Overlay 1 to a specific Input in vMix
