Extra flexibility for Visual Variables in Playout

Revamped manual Layer Transitions

We’ve revamped the possibilities of manually controlling your layer in- and out transitions. If you want to profit from the powers of GSAP you can now connect events to individual layers to have more control over the complete automated transitioning state of the Visual. The documentation of all the transition capabilities of the Visual Designer layers is in progress and will be shared soon on our blog.

New CSV Data Source

You can now share large data sets with your Visual Graphics by integrating your CSV data via an API Data Source.

Limit data items

When you’re using a large CSV file or RSS feeds with multiple items you may want to limit the visible items in VRA Graphics. With the new Items Count configuration you can slice it up!

New Features & Enhancements

Visual variables in Playout

• Predefined Media Storage: Image and video uploads can now be stored in a predefined folder at creation in the Visual Designer (link to other changleog)

• Dynamic Variables in Rundown: The value of dynamic data, such as on-air program titles and host names, are now visible in rundown items.

• Episode Composer Locking: Dynamic variable titles can be locked in the episode composer, allowing them to be used in earlier programs.

Media Hub

• You can now create new folders in folder selection dialog. Usable in Predefined Media Storage.

Multiple Current Onair Items in the AutomationLink

It is now possible to have multiple items from your radio automation software in the current nowplaying onair list in Visual Radio Assist. This makes several transitions between jingles and music in mixes a lot smoother and opens new possibilities for layered audio with layered video.
