Message editor / broadcasting

[kmeesters]

Not sure if this should be part of the display system, but some type of messages could be used elsewhere. For example a public announcement. A quick fix could be to mark a new lower third as a 'public notification', which could be picked up by other application (for example team app)

maybe a ticker in the top of the screen?... on TV this is usually the 'element' they use to display 'out of scope' information, like schedule changes...

Yes, the question is should the display system be the input for this? Maybe need to split at some point between a director-app and the display. I'd indeed say a ticker would be great (see EAS): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_Alert_System ;) https://youtu.be/VLg_MKGFDrc?t=1m12s

The ticker is a perfect match for this. However, there can currently be only one instance of a module, so i would suggest.

• alowing to create multiple instances of the same module, giving a class or idto style them differently
• decoupling the mhub node and topic they listen to
• loosening up styling, allowing easier overrides an tighter internals.

Message input is a bit out of scopn for display system, but the config panel could be a rudimentary ui for this
