  • 1.  Bitfocus Companion Rosstalk commands with Ultrix

    Posted 06-17-2021 10:44

    Are you using Companion by bitfocus.io to control an Ultrix?
    If not you should check out the software  it is a powerful and free application that allows software control over multiple different devices. 

    As of Ultrix version 4.5 you can use rosstalk commands to control crosspoints.
    Here are some tips I found that helped me get the Ultrix switching from the companion application.

    1. Companion UI appears to send an extra 3a (:) command so you will notice that under the source cell location I have only put the ID in the cell nothing else. 
    2. I found that I also needed to Identify the panel ID (I) the number can be anything. 
    3. After adding the Ultrix as a rostalk device this is what I did to get source 2 routed to Destination 2 successfully.

    Mike is it possible to switch crosspoints only on certain levels? If so, what would the syntax be?

    yes absolutely, I added in L:1,2 to be able to route only level 1 and 2.
    here is what I put into the source cell.
     
    I:22 L:1,2 D:2 S

    Where can I get the latest version of the Ultrix software so that I can take advantage of this feature?
