August 23, 2024

Creating Macros in the Control Room:

  1. Access Location Settings:
    • From the main menu, go to Settings > Location Settings > Autopilot > Control Rooms.
    • Select the control room you want to edit.
  2. Add Devices:
    • Choose the devices you want to include in this control room. For this example, I added VIO Encoder 1, VIO Playback 1, and Channel Output.
  3. Create a Start Recording and Captioning Macro:
    • Name your macro and assign a hotkey.
    • Step 1: Start recording.
      • Select Device Action > Specific Device > VIO Encode 1 > Record.
      • Name the file (e.g., "City Council Meeting").
    • Step 2: Start closed captioning.
      • Label it as "Closed Captioning."
      • Select Device Action > Specific Device > Encoder 1 > Start Transcribing.
    • Click Done.
  4. Create a Stop Recording, Captioning, and Start CG Macro:
    • Follow a similar process, but this time:
    • Stop Recording:
      • Select Device Action > Specific Device > Encoder 1 > Stop.
    • Stop Transcribing:
      • Select Device Action > Specific Device > Encoder 1 > Stop Transcribing.
    • Play CG:
      • Select Device Action > Specific Device > VIO Playback 1 > Play CG.
  5. Apply Macros in the Control Room:
    • Go back to your control rooms and select the macro to execute the desired actions.
