    When using minime in switcher mode, can i use two press panel for it. The first one for program & minime1, the second one for minime2 & minime3?
    If i can use more then one press panel in minime mode, how can i configure it?

    I think you mean Row not Press?? If that is correct then next you need to configure the USER Buttons (the ones that come default labeled Aux) You can assign the buttons to be specific MiniME and ME Buttons. Further If you hold them down you can then use the Key Row do Delegate anything you like to that Row. So example based on your config request

    USER Button 1:7 assign to MiniME 2, USER Button 1:8 MiniME 3, USER Button 2:7 MiniME 1 and then USER Button 2:8 ME 1. This will allow you to have quick selects that on the single button press will assign the row to those ME or MiniME. If you hold the Button you will see the Row Delegate to Select buttons in the mnemonics -- use the KeyBus now to select any of those delegations that you did not assign direct to a User Button.

    User Buttons is in the Menu - User Menu :)

    Hey @lesoreilly I think he may have been talking about using two control surfaces to control one switcher.

    Even if he isn't, I am!! I've been trying to figure out how to manage this today with little luck. I've looked in the manuals and forums to try and find some information on this, and have found nothing helpful. Admittedly, I've been shown things in the manual that I could have sworn wasn't in there in the past.

    Here's what I've encountered thus far:

    Using a Carbonite 2ME.

    I have two desks daisy-chained into the switcher brains via port 1 with the "master" first in line, then the "satellite" patched into the "next" port on the master desk. I can see the first eight buttons of the top section of buttons of the main desk on the satellite desk. This is in four sections of the satellite desk, and they all follow whatever happens on the main desk on that top section, or vice versa. However, NOTHING actually takes place. I can't cut, dissolve, wipe... nothing. I can route a source directly to an Aux, but that seems to be about it.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Okay. New development...
    I disconnected and reconnected the satellite desk, and not I can do everything on the master desk, but I can only cut between sources (still only accessing those first eight buttons) on the satellite desk. I have zero access to the T-Bar on the satellite desk.

    Joel you can not do that. It is not supported to do that. You can only have 1 panel connected via the PSL Port -- Satellite Panels must communicate over IP to the Frame when your using the PSL port which will always be the "Master" Panel. If you have only the legacy panels you will need a CarboNET so that you can convert the PSL Link to an IP interface.

    Could you maybe point me in a direction that would help me out? Or, am I pretty much sunk until I get my hands on a new control panel?

    I don't think I understand. To use an OLDER GREY style panel that is not IP you need to get a CarboNET. It is a Box that we made when we released the IP based Black Series panels. It allows for connecting the PSL of the panel into it . It now looks to the network like it is an IP panel.
