Question

How can you change the Decoder Layout with BVMS SDK script?

Answer

Check the following sample script. It is not a working script, that can be used directly. Follow the instructions in comments of the script to tailor it for your use.  

There is VIDEOJET decoder 8000.

The decoder is added to the AMG

AMG is added to the logical tree

    [Scriptlet("dd34571a-43b0-41ae-9231-9ba7e31629c1")]

    public void SetDisplayLayout(EventData e)

    {

//logical Number is the number you see in the AMG icon at CC, when you add the decoder to AMG, choose the layout 1x1

  Decoder dec1 = DecoderManager.GetDecoderByLogicalNumber(LogicalNumber);

  //get the suported layout of the decoder

   IList<DisplayLayout> supportedDisplayLayouts = decoderManager.GetSupportedDisplayLayouts(dec1);

//here need to loop over the layouts and to choose the one according to description

            bool setDisplayLayoutOK = false;

            foreach (var displayLayout in supportedDisplayLayouts)

            {

                //the description is equal to the Layout title one can see in ConfigClient-Devices-MonitorGroups -MG - right window where

               // under Layout are shown the icons and title of all supported Layouts for this particular MG (after decoder is connected to it)

                if (displayLayout.Description == "2x2")

                {

                   //set 2x2 layout for the decoder dec1    

                    setDisplayLayoutOK = RSApi.DecoderManager.SetDisplayLayout(dec1, displayLayout);

                   //not needed to finish the loop

                    break;

                }

            }

  }

This is fixed in BVMS 11.1.1.

BVMS 11.1.1 is released and available for download in the Product Catalog.
