Uploading Sessions
To use an edited session file, it must be uploaded
to the BMX
digital
Server’s FTP site. If a template
file (template.ses) was created, it can be up-
loaded and then used as the basis for creating new
session files. The template session file must have
the file extension .ses.
To upload the template session file to the BMX-
digital
Server:
1 Open the BMX
digital
Server’s FTP site, if it is
not already open, and navigate to the SesFiles
folder.
2 Drag the template.ses file from the local
computer to the SesFiles folder on the BMX-
digital
Server’s FTP site.
3 Dial up and then take the TEMPLATE ses-
sion to load it into the BMX
digital
console. Con-
firm that all of the settings and input sources
are set correctly before using it as a template to
create standard sessions.
Session and Macro Files
Session and macro files can have these sections:
• General File Information
• Universal Input Module Source Labels
• Routed Channel Source Selections
• Channel-Specific Include Lists
• Channel-Specific Button Settings
• Channel-Specific Button Lockouts
• Channel Mapping
Channel IDs identify each module or channel
by frame position, module type (Universal Input,
Telco or RLS) and whether the module is set for a
routed input. Signal IDs uniquely identify each
source and destination in a VistaMax system. These
different numbering systems are covered in the fol-
lowing sections.
Channel ID Numbers
BMX
digital
components (input modules, moni-
tor modules, Net Card connections) are assigned
unique ID numbers based upon their position in
the mainframe and by their DIP switch assign-
ment settings to specifically identify local signals.
Universal Input modules are numbered from the
left end of the frame (number 1) sequentially to
the right.
Telco and RLS modules are numbered sepa-
rately because each type has three modes of op-
eration (assigned through module DIP switches)
although typically only two (Direct and Router)
are used in a VistaMax system. Telco modules are
further identified by a Telco number, from 1 thru
6, that associates a dedicated mix-minus output
with each Telco module.
Channel ID numbers are used in both section
headings for signal assignment, and in the chan-
nel assignment settings within these sections, in
both session and macro files. An ID summary fol-
lows:
Channel ID Numbers
Type Channel # Assignment Method
Universal Input 1 - 63 As installed, left to right
Telco 1 - 6 (Direct) 65 - 70 As configured by DIP switches
Telco 1 -6 (Router) 81 - 86 As configured by DIP switches
Telco 1 - 6 (Ext. RLS) 97 - 102 As configured by DIP switches
RLS (Direct) 113 - 127 As installed, left to right
RLS (Router) 129 - 143 As installed, left to right
RLS (Ext. RLS) 145 - 159 As installed, left to right
Here’s an example of how channel ID numbers
are used on a networked BMX
digital
console:
[Router_81]
Include_1=D1,65-96
Include_2=D2,241-256
In the section of a session file shown above, the
two Include lines set which sources are shown on
the source selector for Router 81 (e.g., Telco 1 set
as a router input). Include_1=D1, sets which
