Found In Egroup: Facility Control \ view thread
First of all, good for you on taking learning Broadcast Engineering. A curious attitude and willingness to learn will get you a long way in this field, I can tell you from experience. Really Dashboard U and more importantly this forum are the best places to learn. These forums go back well over a decade ...

RE: Lighting Desk Intergration via Dashboard

Posted By Ryan McCarthy 06-10-2026 14:38
Found In Egroup: Facility Control \ view thread
Obviously this can get a bit involved and is a bit difficult to unwrap without digging into the code, and I'm also not familiar with that lighting platform, but they are likely sending OSC (open sound control) commands to your lighting board. Tessera absolutely can do this as well as OSC commands are ...

RE: Custom panel working in Dashboard but not in Ultritouch

Looks like you have links to devices in the Basic Tree in Dashboard. I'd open the Device Tree on the Ultritouch and make sure the IP addresses of these devices are updated and showing up in the tree. ------------------------------ Ryan McCarthy Broadcast Engineer UnitedHealth Group --------------- ...

Originally had this happening in Dashboard 9.15 but just upgraded to 9.16.1 and seeing this same behavior. When using a Visual Logic "add" block to concatenate several parameter values and line breaks to prepare to write to a file (which can be opened by this same CustomPanel later), When I save changes ...

RE: Performing a Squeezeback

Not sure I fully follow your workflow, but I normally do squeezebacks in a single ME by saving memories and using Effects Dissolve. Save memories for your 2 box look, your left box full with the right box off the screen, and another for right box full with the left box off the screen. Then you can just ...

RE: Sending Dashboard grid countdown timer to RossTalk channel

You should be able to send a Rosstalk command to your Ultrix formatted as "TXTLABEL ID:01; TEXT:Test123; BGCLR:0x00,0x00,0x00; TXTCLR:0x00,0xff,0x00; SIZE=99" With the ID changed to match your static ID on the text field on the multiviewer, and 'Test123' as the text you want to send. You should ...

I just eliminated any scripting / visual logic variables in XPression by making a new scene with just a text box and pointing towards the Datalinq source, which also froze after a few minutes on air.

Hello, I have a studio timer that I have built in Dashboard, publishing through Datalinq to XPression. I have a parameter in the dashboard that XPression uses for the timer. The timer usually gets used to time hour or 90 minute shows, and it seems to always freeze on XPression somewhere along the way. ...

Hello all, We have a Carbonite Ultra in a standalone frame (not in an Ultrix), and have never really messed with UltraScene, which seems like I'm missing out on a cool feature. Normally I run my 2 box from one of the full MEs, with a MiniME feeding each box, making it easier to change sources and ...
