How To | Using the Selector component to change pages on a UCI
Learn how to effectively use the Selector component to easily change the viewed page on a UCI, improving navigation and accessibility for users.
Procedure
Use the following steps for using a selector to change the pages on a UCI:
Requirements
- UCI License
- TSC Hardware or UCI Viewer Component in the design
- Build out the UCI with Pages.
- Add the Status/Control Component for the TSC to the design.
- or add a UCI Viewer Component if using the UCI Viewer or iOS application.
- Expose the “Current Page” control pin on the TSC Status/Control Component
- or UCI Viewer Component
- Add a Selector component to the design.
- Make the “Selection Count” match the number of pages in the UCI.
- Connect the “Output control pin on the Selector to the ”Current Page" control pin on the TSC Status/Control Component.
- Emulate the design.
- Open the Selector component and change the text in the Output field to match the name of the pages on the UCI.
- If the page name doesn't match the Output name in the selector the UCI page will not change on the TSC.
- ex: UCI page is called "01_Video" text in the output field would be “01_Video.
- Leave Emulation
- Construct the UCI using the Selector buttons as Navigation buttons.
- Save the design to the core.
At this point when you press a button in the selector component the String in the “Current Page” on the TSC Status/Control or UCI Viewer component will reflect the name of the UCI's page and you will see that page on the hardware.
Note
This will not change the page in Q-SYS Designer Software or web UCI. Page changes will only be displayed on the Touch Screen Controller or iOS Application.
