Ultritouch
The 2RU rack mountable Ultritouch adaptable system
control panel allows you to control some aspects of
switcher operation using a DashBoard interface.
The DashBoard interface on Ultritouch provides control
over aux bus source selections. You must connect to the
switcher from Ultritouch to be able to control the switcher
functions. Refer to the Ultritouch documentation for
information on navigating the Ultritouch menu and
manually connecting to a device.
To Connect to the Switcher from

Ultritouch runs a simplied version of DashBoard that
is used to connect to the switcher.
Note: It is possible to connect to the switcher from a desktop
version of DashBoard, but the interface was designed for
Ultritouch and may not appear correctly on a desktop computer.
