Xgs_Slate is very good for that. You can find it on the NetView (XSI net > SDK > DisplayCallbacks).

Only the sources are given ( don't ask me why ) so you will need a compiler.

Once installed, you can update some parameters with an event ( like the file name for example ). Focal and current frame are directly given by Xgs slate.
The only bug I found is a frame offset on previews with some video cards (  frame 1 is replace by the end frame, so frame 2 is called frame 1 etc...).

We're doing some previs, and using ka_slate for the burn-in info.
Works great, but if we have more than 4 elements, it starts to slow
down.

Only a few pieces of info need to be updated per-frame however
(basically focal-length and current frame). In MEL you can hook into
certain events like framechange, scenesave, sceneload etc... is there
an equivalent I could use in xsi, so that certain info only updates on
scene-load and scene-save?
