DashBoard
The DashBoard control system allows remote access to
multiple pieces of Ross Video equipment, including
openGear
®
cards, Carbonite production switchers,
BlackStorm video servers, and ACID UltraChromeHR
cameras.
Download and install the latest version of DashBoard
from http://www.opengear.tv/. Review the documentation
that comes with DashBoard for information on installing
and launching DashBoard.
Note: Carbonite requires DashBoard v8.0, or higher.
Tip: For detailed instructions on using DashBoard with the
Carbonite switcher subsystem Graphite, navigate to the online
help at help.rossvideo.com/graphite.
Status
The Status node provides a read only overview of the
state of a number of important switcher components and
equipment.
The following items are available on the Status node:
• Software Version — the current version of the
software running on the switcher
• Serial Number — the serial number of the frame
• Engine Type — the model of frame
• Video Mode — the video format that the switcher is
operating in
• Video Reference Source — the source of video
reference to the switcher
• External Reference — the video format of the
external reference, if connected
• Reference — status of whether the switcher has
locked to the reference format
• Rave Status — status of whether the 1RU Audio
Breakout Module is connected.
• Field Dominance — the switching eld
• Ancillary Mode — how ancillary data is handled
(strip or pass)
• Temperature — status of the ambient temperature
in the frame
• CPU Temperature (C) — the temperature of the
frame CPU in degrees Celsius
• FPGA Temperature (C) — the temperature of the
frame FPGA in degrees Celsius
• Timecode — the current timecode being received by
the switcher
• RossTalk Server Port — the network port that the
switcher is listening on for RossTalk commands.
• TSL UMD Server Port — the network port that the
switcher is listening on for TSL UMD commands.
• Allocated DVEs — where DVE channels are

Configuration
The Conguration node provides a graphical interface
to switcher settings such as Reference, Inputs, Outputs,
and MultiViewer. You can switch between the different
by selecting the tabs at the bottom of the DashBoard
window.
Live Assist
The Live Assist node provides a graphical interface to
functions such as keying, transition, and memory settings
of the switcher. You can switch between the different
settings by selecting the tabs at the bottom of the
DashBoard window.
PaneLINK
Live Assist can be set to either mirror actions on the
switcher control panel, or only show actions on the
currently selected ME and Keyer on the current tab. For
example, with PaneLINK turned on, pressing KEY 1
SEL, WIPE, and then SELF KEY causes Live Assist
to show the Keyers tab, the Trans tab, and then the
Keyers tab again. With PaneLINK turned off, Live
Assist does not switch between tabs.
The PaneLINK button is located at the bottom right
corner of the Live Assist window.
Custom Controls
The Custom Control node provides a graphics interface
for recording, editing, and running custom controls.
MediaManager
The MediaManager node allows you to connect to the
MediaManager web interface from within DashBoard.
Tip: You can either launch the MediaManager directly using the
switcher IP address, or you can access it using the
MediaManager node in DashBoard. If you are logging into
MediaManager from DashBoard, you must have Microsoft
®
Internet Explorer
®
10, or higher, installed.
