  • 1.  Destination Follow in Salvos

    Posted 06-24-2025 05:16

    Ultrix 6.4.  

    I have salvos that assign a layout to an UltriScape head in addition to assigning the sources to the PiPs.

    Some of the PiPs need to be Destination Follows.

    Is there a way to include Destination Follows in my MV / PiP salvos?

    The fastest way I have found is to fire the Salvo then reassign the layout via UltriScape Head Selection with the Destination Follows applied.

    I thought about building unique layouts with higher unused PiP numbers permanently defined as Destination Follows under Configurations.

    Is there a better way?

    Thanks

    Paul

    I have the same requirement. Need to be able to save 'Follows' in Salvos. I guess to do this we need lines for all the posible follows?

    I cant see how this could be done at the moment, but I hope someone clever in the Ross team knows some tricks :)

    also, how did you recall Layouts per head?

    First you have to add the Layouts as Sources in your database.

    Then make sure you have your Heads as destinations.  They may have be added at database creation but you might have to add those too.

    If you are using soft panels to route, you will need to add both the new layout Source to your panels.

    In Salvos you now can send a layout to a head.

    There are some instructional videos on YouTube that show it step by step including a very important Routing Devices Refresh button that had me stuck for a while.

    this tread also talks about it

    Paul, you are correct. There currently isn't a way to have a salvo map a destination follow. Your approach of defining some high-numbered PIPs that are permanently mapped as dest-follows is a good work-around.

    The ability to dynamically change dest-follows through panels and salvos has been forwarded to the dev team as a feature request.
