On Demand State

The On Demand state allows you to combine media files into a single state in the playlist area. You can then use the event that transitions to the On Demand state to conditionally determine which file in the playlist should be played.

When the On Demand state is double-clicked, the On Demand canvas will appear. The On Demand canvas gives you the option to add content from Assets to the On Demand state. To exit this canvas, click the Zone description located in the top left corner of the canvas. This will take you back to the Zone Content canvas. 

The On Demand state can only be transitioned to using input from BP900/BP200, UDP, Serial, Keyboard, or USB devices. The input data from the controller will determine which media item in the On Demand state will be played: For example, you can use a Keyboard Input event to playback “Video 1” if the “A” key is pressed, “Video 2” if the “B” key is pressed, "Video 3" if the "C" key is pressed, etc. Any type of event can transition out of a Play File state and into a new state.

For BP200/BP900 events, you must specify each Key using both the panel enumeration and button number: For example, if you have a single BP200/BP900 panel connected to the player and want button 3 to trigger an image, you would specify the Key as "0-3"; on the other hand, if you have a second BP200/BP900 panel connected to the player and want button 3 on the second panel to trigger the image, you would specify the Key as "1-3".

If you attach a command that modifies the User Variable value (e.g. Set Variable, Increment Variable) to an event that transitions to the On Demand state, the media-file keys will still be compared against the old variable value. However, if the Display default media option is enabled, the new User Variable value will be used instead.
