Hi Chris, Yes, you're exactly right. The GPI maps to the Salvo index number. So, the command GPI 01 will trigger salvo #1. There isn't a method to query Salvo or crosspoint status via RossTalk, but I'll definitely suggest that to our development team. Index number is shown in the Salvo configuration ...

Hi Nate, Ultrix and Ultricore-BCS don't have a built-in scheduling feature, but this can be done with an external program or script that can trigger the desired switching actions on the time interval or scheduled time-of-day. Out of the box, we support GV Native and Probel SW-P-08 protocols. But if ...

Hi Boris, The Ultrix-FR5 draws air in from the right side and the front of the system. Exhaust is out the left side. If installing in a flight case, we'd recommend providing means to allow adequate airflow. For tight installations, take a look at Ultricool | Ross Video, which is a 1RU fan unit which ...

Hi Santi, The Matte Gen option will override the source port, regardless of whether there is an input or not.

RE: Destination Follow in Salvos

Found In Egroup: Connectivity \ view thread
Paul, you are correct. There currently isn't a way to have a salvo map a destination follow. Your approach of defining some high-numbered PIPs that are permanently mapped as dest-follows is a good work-around. The ability to dynamically change dest-follows through panels and salvos has been forwarded ...

Hi Stephane, Yes, audio meters can be assigned to any PIP in your layouts. Once you've added the meters to the layout, you will need to ensure that audio is being routed to them. All PIP video and audio meters are considered destinations in the Ultrix database, so you need to ensure you have them mapped ...

At this time, Ultriscape does not perform any conversion of HDR, and connot be configured to generate an HLG output directly. As such it will not signal the monitor that the content is HLG. You will need to manually force the monitor to HLG mode to properly display the HLG/BT2020 signal; many SDI/HDMI ...

Hi Carlos, Yes, you can route Dolby-E through Ultrix. We recommend enabling "Audio Bypass" in the configuration for inputs with Dolby-E. When enabled, when a video source is routed to a destination, it will override the audio routing but ensures proper alignment of the Dolby metadata. If "Audio ...

Hi Bholah, It is not possible to customize the background colors for the Ultrix soft panels directly.
