Hi,
I am looking for information about switching comps in a project. I am doing a show in which there will be a bunch of cues. I read a posting about this but it was somewhat vague to my newbie ears:
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3757
The way I personally do this is to have components called module1 module2 module3 etc and then create a common table inside called resolution. This table has 2 rows with 1920, 1080 in the first row and 2, 2 in the second row with a select DAT after (or you could use component variables which is another thing I sometimes do) and with the resolutions of all generator TOPs referencing row 0 in the select DAT, you can then toggle the DAT to turn the component on or off. You could make all components have 2x2 res by using the opparm command and specifying “module*/resolution” as the node.
Is this what is commonly done? Would anybody be able to point me to an example of this? Is this the only way to switch “synths” in a show?
I am teetering on switching to Isadora for the show I am working on as it seems designed for a cue based show. Less exciting than TD though.
Any input would be appreciated.
