CCU Joystick Control Ultrix Acuity

Production Switchers
1

What additional hardware if any do I need to set up CCU joystick control of switching an output on an Ultrix Acuity

2

Just wire the CCU to the GPI connector on the back of the SDPE blades. Then you can assign the event to the GPI for switching an AUX to source. OR if you want it to be a Router output that is not first assigned to be a switcher aux then you can always setup to run a CC event that will SEND a RossTalk Message to do the switch on the Ultrix controller.

Thank you Les.

Hey Les,

I’m sitting here in front of out Ultrix Acuity and I don’t see any choice in the gpi setup to change an AUX bus like on the Vision.

I will take a look into it tomorrow – for now I suggest you make a Custom Control that switches the Aux Bus and tie the GPI to that function.

I’m ok with the GPI Custom Control method but I have a CC writing question.

On the Vision the AUX bus switching was momentary with the source switching back when the RCP was released.

Is there anyway to mimic this momentary action with a cleverly written CC?

If it always returns to the same source like PGM it would be OK.
I am not familiar enough with GPI states in CC writing to know if that is even possible.
Thanks

The Vision Momentary was with the Older Aux Bus Control panels. That is still support on Ultrix Acuity.. but we don’t have those panels anymore..

We will need to look into a solution that involves adding the High and Low type trigger events to the standard GPI triggers.

SUCCESS!!!

We were able to get it working exactly the way I wanted by using a combination of your logic CC suggestion and 2 GPIs.

We set one GPI high and one GPI low. Push ran the CC with logic and release ran that same CC again “else” putting the original “stored” source back.

This is the “cleverly written CC” I was hoping for.

Thanks for your help.
