Global
$(eventsync:playback_state) - Current playback state (playing/paused/stopped)$(eventsync:focused_stack) - Currently focused stack name$(eventsync:transport_mode) - "locked: StackName" or "following"
System
$(eventsync:licenses_used) - Licenses in use$(eventsync:licenses_available) - Total licenses available$(eventsync:licenses_display) - Licenses as "used/available"$(eventsync:connected_devices) - Connected device count$(eventsync:transcode_queue) - Items in transcode queue$(eventsync:server_status) - "online" or "offline"
Per-Stack Variables
Replace StackName with your actual stack name (spaces become underscores):
$(eventsync:stack_StackName_current_cue)$(eventsync:stack_StackName_next_cue)$(eventsync:stack_StackName_time_remaining) - Formatted as MM:SS$(eventsync:stack_StackName_time_remaining_s) - Raw seconds$(eventsync:stack_StackName_playback_state)
Feedbacks

ContentOSC
EventSync uses dual addressing for cues:
- Position (1-999): Cue position in stack, changes if cues are reordered
- ContentOSC (1000-9999): Static ID assigned at creation, never changes
Use ContentOSC for cues that may move around during show prep.
Use Position for sequences that run in order.
Presets
Pre-configured button layouts are available in these categories:
- Transport (Focus) - GO, STOP, PAUSE, RESUME, PREV, NEXT
- Transport (Global) - GLOBAL GO, GLOBAL STOP
- Cue Info - Current cue, time remaining, focused stack, transport mode
- System Status - Devices, licenses, server status, transcode queue
- Transport Lock - Unlock transport
