-Party Control of Console Patch (Native ProBel Support)
Starting with version 3.5 of the D950/Vista Software, these products are
able to support ProBel enabled devices natively, and so a second PC is no
more necessary for this functionality. However, we do not recommend that
existing installations are altered that are already in use with a second PC
for ProBel interfacing.
The explanations below are therefore intended for installation personal
and not for the console operators.
Supported Functionality Our implementation enables the ability to map certain ProBel connect re-
quests to a set of definable patch connections. The control of patch points
is not restricted to set output patch points. It is possible to set any patch
points within the console patch upon reception of a ProBel command. The
set-up procedure is done from the General Patch screen, where certain
patches can be selected (by just selecting the affected targets) and which
are being mapped to a ProBel source/destination combination with a single
click on a dialog.
Enabling ProBel Setup In order to activate and see the
Setup Probel button on the General Patch
window, the system has to be in SysAdmin mode. The SysAdmin menu
contains a General Patch sub menu and a
Use Probel on General Patch
item.
This setting will be written to the D950System.ini as well, resulting in
the same behavior as if it was edited by hand in the first place.
The button will then be visible whenever the system enters SysAdmin
mode.
