  • 1.  What limits dashboard configuration? (Banks and Custom Controls)

    Posted 05-23-2023 11:36

    Hello, we have an older carbonite and are about to upgrade to something current.
    Right now, we have a heavily integrated Ross eco system with 3 Cambots, Hitachi cameras, and a 2ME Carbonite - all working together with Dashboard as the glue. In our upgrade we are looking at add a camera (Cambot) and a Tria, plus the Ultrix routing.

    Currently we have 8 banks of 24 Custom Controls accessible in Dashboard. We have 4 bank per ME on the Carbonite, 24 CCs on each bank. So it makes sense. 

    If we move to the Ultrix Acuity or Ultrix Carbonite, a 2 ME system, will that change the Dashboard Custom Control number? Will we still be at 4 banks per ME with 24 CCs or will it change based on inputs, Acuity vs Carbonite, Control panel, etc...

    All Carbonite switchers have (via DashBoard) access to 8 Banks of 32 custom controls..  On a panel with 24 buttons you only see the first 24 on the row but in DashBoard CC shotbox you can access all 32..

    Also if you HOLD one of those BANK buttons on your panel row you will see the row show the other banks on the first 8 Buttons.. While holding that button select one of the other Banks that you don't have a USER button set to and you will see those show up.

    Every Show File can have it's own Custom Controls ..  So it is possible to load different shows with different Customs.

    Acuity has 48 Banks of 48 Custom controls for a Total of 2304 per show file.

    Carbonite Ultra/Ultrix also has Sequencers now that could work in addition/supplement many of your custom control needs.
