MultiPanel

Each frame supports up to 3 independent control connections (Main, Satellite 1, and Satellite 2) as well as Satellite 3/SoftPanel. Each connection, with the exception of SoftPanel, can be from a control panel, DashBoard, or a combination of the two. All devices on the same control connection mirror each other.

The independent control connections are selected by the port you connect to on the frame. Multiple panels and DashBoard connections can connect on the same port, but they will all share the same permissions and mirror each other for control.

  • Main Panel — 5253 (5258 NAT)
  • Satellite 1 — 5255 (5259 NAT)
  • Satellite 2 — 5256 (5260 NAT)
  • Satellite 3/SoftPanel — 5257 (5261 NAT)

Keep the following in mind:

Keep the following in mind when working with MultiPanel:

  • SoftPanel shares the permissions of the Main Panel.
  • The assignment of the panel ID is done from the control panel.
  • Control panel specific personality settings are stored on the frame for the panel ID and are not tied to the control panel.
  • DashBoard automatically follows the main panel but will ignore permissions set for the main panel.
  • If you change switcher modes, the MultiPanel permissions may have to be set again.
  • An undo of a memory recall ignores panel permissions and will undo the last memory recalled from any panel.
  • Bus maps are specific to each control panel. Creating or updating a bus map for one control panel does not change the bus map on another control panel.
  • Custom controls ignore control panel permissions and will run events on an ME, MiniME, or Canvas that the control panel does not have permission for.
