I have two large LCD walls for use in newscasts. I'm trying to make these walls function other than being backdrops behind the talent, i.e, we'd like to integrate our Xpression graphics and other sources to these walls for a more interesting broadcast. Mainly in a breaking news or weather event situation where we may be on-air for hours.
There is a long 3 Output panel wall behind the desk, and a smaller single output panel to the side. These are setup through a CORIOmaster Mini C3-510.
The Corio is operational and we have presets setup in CORIOgrapher that work for different graphic scenarios.
All of our sources are assigned and functional as well. We can feed whatever we want into any of the setups using our AUX sources.
I've noticed that in our UltricoreBCS Destinations Database the walls have several destinations designated.
For the Long Wall They are labeled:
Corio Full
Corio Left
Corio Right
When we use commands in overdrive the default destination for the Long Wall is Corio Full, unless we are using the screen split into three. The Corio itself creates the windows that the sources feed into. The wall has to be sectioned into three output slots because of it's size.
We don't have problems with this wall.
For the Smaller Side wall they are labeled:
BAM Full
BAM TR (top right)
BAM BR (bottom right)
BAM BL (bottom left)
When we set up commands in overdrive for the small wall (or BAM), we designate what section of the BAM is the destination (top right, left, etc.). The destinations in Ultrix are set up incorrectly where the labeled "TR" feeds into "BR" and vice versa. We also don't have an option for a Top Left box.
From what I understand, we would only need one destination to assign to because the screen uses only one output slot and the Corio would split the sources into the preset windows anyway.
Question #1: Do we need the single output wall to be sectioned off into separate destinations in Ultrix when the Corio can separate the screen itself like in our larger wall?
#2: If we do need to section it, how do we reconfigure this output into the four sections + fullscreen in their correct places in the Ultrix destinations to then use in our custom controls?
Any advice would be appreciated.
