ademarlocks Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 I have an event where a keynote and the background should be played synchronously , imagine using the perfect cue for this ( shifter slide with two usb ) for this to work I need to play the timeline for page up , it's possible ?

Thomas Leong Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 AFAIK, Watchout's playmode can only be controlled by a keyboard's spacebar which toggles play/pause. The other keys (arrows, pgup, pgdown with or without Ctrl key) are for navigating the timeline. If you have a macro keyboard that can map the spacebar to one of the macro keys, theoretically that would work. Not sure if Perfect Cue's clicker can be mapped to the spacebar. I have a Powerpoint-type hand-held remote, and it does not work with Watchout's playmode since the keys on my remote cannot be re-mapped.

maccalder Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 You can program the perfect cue to output different characters on the a and b outputs - you want to program the watchout side to output 0 (zero) which is tge keyboard play command. Space toggles - that means if the presenter hits forward before reaching a pause point the timeline stops. If using the 3 button remote Program back to be escape (which pauses the timeline) and the black screen button to d (enter standby mode). Leave the other side with the default map and Bob's your Uncle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Fahl Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 I believe you can also trigger the timeline with the 0 key on the numeric keypad. This is not a toggling key, which is often useful when you want to wire it up from outside, and want to make sure that the keypress only starts (but never stops) the timeline.

Bluetonesblue Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 The PerfectCue can be remapped to whatever key you want. That part shouldn't be that hard. You'll just have to watch which timeline is in the foreground. That's the only one that it will run. If there ISN'T an aux timeline in the foreground, then you'll be triggering the main timeline. Even if you have other timelines open, but just not in the foreground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ademarlocks Posted January 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 I would like to thank the friends who helped me solve this difficulty, remapping the perfect cue for the space bar could change the slide with the background , it's great to have the help of this forum.

Hitenbhai Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 i have used normal logitech presenter to forward the JPGs of the presentation, what i had done was after applying the pause just named it as F5 and used the Start presentation key on the presenter to do that, but this was way back during v4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
