Les, if using the P/P bus, the system should pass Ancillary Data from the PGM bus, correct? We're not seeing that here at the moment and it's a bit of a problem for us. ------------------------------ David Knighton Engineer NCSC ------------------------------

I have an issue with automation that presents like this... If a user sets the transition type on the Carbonite surface or the Carbonite Dashboard that's connected to the surface cueing the automation will have the wrong transition type on the first element (repeating the last transition set by the user), ...

Just trying to enumerate options here.... Can Dashboard parse xml data from external sources and display the values or act on the values for what I'm calling a HUD display? There may be a number of outside devices that my users need to see the status in front of them. I can easily create the XML files ...

Multipart question here.... When triggering a Custom Control I know I can stack commands. On a particular custom control I have a GPO that is momentary triggering an external device, but I need a GPO that is triggered into an on state until cleared by another Custom Control. That custom control will ...

Custom Dashboard questions

Found In Egroup: Production Switchers \ view thread
I'm building what is meant to be a view only dashboard for my operators to see the current status of some parameters for Automation. When I change a button to a read only state, it greys out the button making it hard to see the values. I'm willing to just display the data without a button being presented, ...

Okay, semi different topic... Is there any way to lock the bus map or at least have the buttons indicate what input they are using? Using the EVS system we have installed to handle the routing, I have mapped what is in inputs 1 through 13 into the buttons as shown: BK and SHFT ...

Got a list of midi commands sent by the Carbonite and functions they provide? Sorry to be a bother on this, but I need to find a way to get this running in a reliable state.

Actually what I would use Ember + to do is monitor the condition of the Carbonite. According to some documentation I found (not that it's an easy thing to do) it appears that the condition of "InTransition" is available from the Ember + connection to the Carbonite. The Lawo could read this and it would ...

Trying to use tally and the in transition status to drive a lawo engine to do audio follow video functions. Currently we're using just tally, and that's what is causing the timing issues. With the handles that ember provides we should be able to fine tune the functions better. At least that's the hope. ...

Still working through setup. The service that may help us is Ember +, but the option to enable that is greyed out. Do I need a license? Can I get a temporary to determine if the features I would like to use are available and work as expected? Please advise ------------------------------ David ...

In the process of setup for a new control room. Hoping to use Tally to drive audio operations for this room, but the way the tally triggers on a dissolve is causing my scripts to activate and deactivate at the wrong times. Seems like since the preset source tallies to red during the transition, it triggers ...

Understood. I've been working on determining what the issue is. I've gotten some traction on the configuration, so I may need to discuss with the Automation vendor what command they're sending for input 1, it shows the right source and plays it on the screen (and I can see in livepanel that the preset ...

New installation of Carbonites. Working on automation. The automation is using OPG OID protocols to control the switcher. Does that okay. It's acting as a satellite panel on port 5255. The main panel and satellite panel have different bus map assignments, so that when the automation calls up a source, ...
