I believe the destination follow feature has been changed. It is no longer a part of the UltriScape layout and is only available in the Destination Follows assignment page in Ultrix Dashboard. ------------------------------ Paul Whitfield Nashville United States ------------------------------

After I create the layout I have to go to this page and refresh the devices. Then the new layouts will appear in the internal source list of database. ------------------------------ Paul Whitfield Nashville United States ------------------------------

I second the request to disable the touch map function. I never use it and every day I have to fix the bus map where someone has accidentally deleted one or more sources from the switcher panel. ------------------------------ Paul Whitfield Nashville United States ------------------------------

Hey Les, I have tried both of your suggestions with no positive results. I have the ME maps under personality set but it doesn't boot up that way. I tried storing and recalling from disk but that does not change the assignment either. Pressing the "map ME to row" on the panel returns an error message ...

TD4 ME assignment Acuity 14.0j

Found In Egroup: Production Switchers \ view thread
I have an Ultrix 4ME Acuity with a TD4 panel. After updating to 14.0j , the ME assignment to rows on the panel does not remain through a power cycle. The switcher/TD panel comes up as all ME 1. It did not do this on the previous software version. It is simple enough to set them all back but is there ...

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. ...

Destination Follow in Salvos

Found In Egroup: Connectivity \ view thread
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 ...

Hi Mike, Thanks for the info. I have a follow up question. Using the example panel you made, I want to have a button that inputs a specific value into the parameters of the procamp. Where are those values in the source mode? Also, I noticed in your example when you copied the proc amp component ...

I would like to do the same thing. I have proc amps on Ultrix outputs that I need to automate with some kind of DB controls. ------------------------------ Paul Whitfield ------------------------------

RE: MLE1 Keyer Rower Randomly Mirrors Aux Panel

As seen in the video, the ME1 row is already designated as AUX 1:1 in the display. So the question is what is changing that assignment. Pressing the select button next to the display? Pressing an AUX on the touch screen? Or perhaps a CC that leaves it in the AUX designation. I have my panels set ...

I too noticed the switching latency on our Ultrix Acuity and a did test a few months ago. Tech support confirmed it was normal operation to have a 3 frame delay. I have a 4 frame delay in my switching and a 1 frame delay in the UltriScape. I set up a test where a CC rolled a VTR and cut the PGM ...

All relative PIP sizes need to be the same across ALL heads in the frame....which makes no sense to me. I can see why they would all need to be the same size per card, but not per frame. I love the ultriscape MV system, but it has many * asterix on it. I have said exactly the same thing. ...

I stumbled upon a PIP C issue where the PIP destination was in the database twice because PIP C is fed by the destination that is the MV Head output port. So I had a destination in the database for the PIP C in the MV layout AND something assigned by default to the port that is the MV Head output. When ...

Ok, I figured it out. Ultrix 5.6.3 and Dashboard 9.10.0 on Mac OS 13 I have to use the Windows shortcut keys combinations to "select all" and "copy" in Dashboard. And then use the Mac shortcut keys to paste in Excel. And it appears the Windows shortcut keys for "select all" and "copy" ...

Hi Joe, I have not had success with the copy paste from the Ultrix Database to Excel. I'm in Destinations, Select All, all cells turn blue, Control C, but nothing is copied to the clipboard to paste in Excel. "Copy" in the Edit menu in dashboard is grayed out so I can't copy that way. ...
