DashBoard

The DashBoard control system allows remote access to multiple pieces of Ross Video equipment, including openGear® cards, Carbonite production switchers, Ross video servers, and Ross cameras. Download and install the latest version of DashBoard from www.rossvideo.com/support/software-downloads/.

Review the documentation that comes with DashBoard for information on installing and launching DashBoard.

To control Tria Express DUET from DashBoard you must create a custom panel in DashBoard using PanelBuilder to send VDCP or Tria Express DUET Ethernet API commands to the server.

Note: DashBoard can only display active video for a channel transport if DashBoard is running on the same Tria Express DUET server. Active video for a channel transport cannot be shown in DashBoard when DashBoard is running on a separate computer.
