We're trying to use our spare MLE on our Vision switcher to build an effect and rout to an AUX output. In order to do this, we tried changing our 3rd MLE (on a 3.5 MLE switcher) to fixed, which does what we want, except fixed MLEs are treated as on air for tally purposes, which is turning out to be a pain for how we're utilizing it. Talking with Tech support, they directed me to a setting in Overdrive: Tools>Options>ME assignment>Fixed MEs are treated as on air. Perfect, except that setting was added to overdrive in version 20ish, and due to hardware limitations, we're stuck at 15.4.5. I've poured through the overdrive menus and switcher settings and haven't been able to find anything similar.
Does anyone know of a way either through Overdrive, or directly on the switcher to disable Tally (On Air) on a single MLE? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
