Hi all,
I have an Ultrix that serves as our facilities main router. We also have two smaller Blackmagic routers elsewhere in our facility that serve as routers for their specific usages. Both of these routers have a small handful of feeds to and from the main Ultrix Router.
I have been looking for a way for to dynamically rename the sources in the Ultrix Router coming from those Blackmagic routers. The main reason is because one of the two remote locations continually changes what camera or feed it maybe sending on one or all of its sends over to the Ultrix. The other router has a lot of feeds that won't change, but will have a couple of sends that will remain dynamic.
In the end, I am looking to change over the Ultrix Sources from these routers from just statically saying "[Facility] 1" to becoming change to "[Fac] 1 - Feed G" based on what is coming from that particular BMD router.
We have Bitfocus Companion instances setup that has both the Blackmagic routers and the Ultrix routers attached to, but the limitations of the SWP-08 protocol, of course, limit me to just getting the names from the Ultrix Router and settings up dynamic naming of the sources going into the Blackmagic routers.
I was able to tackle getting the naming info from the Blackmagic Routers, but I am really, really green behind the ears when it comes to creating custom panels in Dashboard or using OGscripts, and looking through the parameters that the Ultrix offers is a messy web of stuff that was a bit hard to follow for me.
If anyone has insight into anything from using straight up OGScripts to Dashboard custom panels to 3rd party tools like Bitfocus Companion.
Thank you!
