Factory Default Settings

Each switcher comes pre-configured from the factory with a number of default settings. Recalling these default settings allows you to return the switcher to a known state for diagnostic purposes, creating new setups, or if advised to do so by Ross Technical support.

The recalling of factory default setting is performed on individual register types. Defaulting one of these register types will return all the entries stored in registers of that type to the factory installed state. Any entries in the registers are destroyed.

Note: If the Installation menu is locked, you cannot recall the factory default settings for Installation, but all other registers will recall normally.

The following registers can be defaulted:

  • Personality — all the user interface settings. These registers contain items such as mnemonic settings, preview overlay positions and settings, and transition rates. As a rule, anything that is set up from the Personality menus is stored in these registers.
  • Memories — all the memories that are stored on the switcher.
  • Switcher — all keyer settings and ME settings.
  • Installation — all the external device setup and software configurations settings for the switcher. As a rule, anything that is set up from the Installation menus is stored in this register.
    Important: Factory default does not support SDPE blades in custom slots. If you perform a factory default with SDPE blades not it their default slots, you must reconfigure the SDPE blades to regain ME functionality.
    Note: Factory Default will not change the reference or video format. The reference and video format remain the same as they were before the factory default.
  • Custom Controls — all the custom controls that are stored on the switcher. Bank setting are stored in the Installation setup.
  • Default VTR Clips — all VTR and video server timecode and clip information on the switcher.
  • Default NV-RAM — all the information stored in the NV-RAM. Non-Volatile RAM on the switcher contains information such as active key effects and some personality settings.
  • Default DVE Sequences — all the sequences that have been stored on the switcher.
  • Default Bus Maps — all the bus maps on the switcher.
  • Default Shot Box Pages — all the Shot Box pages that have been stored on the switcher.
  • Camera File — all the stored shots for cameras that do not store shots on the camera itself.
  • CC/Macro Attachments — all the mappings of custom controls that are attached to buttons.
  • Default CC Variables — all custom control variables.
