Total noob question but I've already spent more time trying to figure this out then I'd care to admit. I'm trying to split an image into two columns, a right and left side of the screen. I'm using the jit.scissors object to split it and then gating each output so that the jit.glue object only receives one inlet at a time. My issue is that at any moment there is video playing on one half of the screen I want the other half to be completely dark. The way it's setup at the present allows the last frame before I switch the gate to be visible, which I don't want. I tried a few ideas to override this and none of them worked. Any suggestions?

The second, no longer updated, column just stores what was displayed there last. So if you want black, you have to send a "black" clip to it once as the last frame that was updated, or set all the cells in the matrix to 0 (since it is a char matrix). You can achieve this f.e. in such a way:

Thanks! This is exactly what I was trying to accomplish. I had been trying to send a "black" clip to the jit.glue object but the behavior was really erratic (one side works but triggering the other side would give me a blank screen). I think it was a patch flow/order of operations issue.
