Tasks are a core component of XStudio automated execution. Each task does only one specific thing, unlike some systems where multiple actions are taken within a single task. This approach allows for greater flexibility, as tasks can be reused easily without concerns about side effects of anything done in addition to performing the basic task.

Tasks are combined with other tasks to form what is known as an Action, which is simply an ordered list of tasks. When an Action is run, its list of tasks is performed, in order. Actions can be initiated in several ways, including associating the action with an audio switcher input relay, as a scheduled event, as a log directive or using a hot button.

Available Tasks

XStudio supports a number of different types of tasks, each with a specific purpose. The table below lists available tasks along with a short description of each. Use the links to review detailed information on a specific task type.
