Ultrix Acuity Setup
The Ultrix™ router must be set up to support the Ultrix Acuity on the Software Defined Production Engine (SWR-SDPE) blade. This includes setup of the Ultripower units, DashBoard connections, video reference and timing, the matrix database, and the UltriScape Multi-Viewer.
Ultrix™ Ultricore BCS Setup
If your router ecosystem uses an Ultricore BCS, the switcher requires the IP address of the Ultricore BCS to communicate with the router to switch aux buses.

- Ultrix Acuity Hardware Setup
  The router and switcher components of Ultrix Acuity must be set up separately before they can work together.
- DashBoard Connection
  Ultrix™ has a separate ethernet connection to DashBoard and appears as a separate node in the DashBoard tree view.
- Switcher Network Setup
  From the web interface, you can set up the IP Address, as well as selecting the IP addresses of all the control panels, and SoftPanel that can access the switcher.
- Reference
  Ultrix™ provides the reference input and internal signals that the switcher uses for timing.
- Video Routing in Ultrix
  Sources and destinations in the router must be connected to the inputs and outputs of the switcher.
- Input Sources in Acuity
  Video inputs coming into the switcher can be assigned to a type of device they are coming from. Assigning a device type allows you to associate a device you are controlling from the switcher with an input.
- Audio Routing in Ultrix™
  Audio is handled separately in the router and audio sources and destinations in the router must be connected to the inputs and outputs of the switcher.
- Aux Bus Router Sources
  Switcher aux buses need to be mapped to router sources and destinations so that video can be assigned to them.
- UltriScape Multi-Viewer
  Some of the outputs from each ME are available as PiPs for the software defined UltriScape MultiViewer in the router.
- Ultrix™ Ultricore BCS Setup
  If your router ecosystem uses an Ultricore BCS, the switcher requires the IP address of the Ultricore BCS to communicate with the router to switch aux buses.

Ultrix™ Ultricore BCS Setup

If your router ecosystem uses an Ultricore BCS, the switcher requires the IP address of the Ultricore BCS to communicate with the router to switch aux buses.

Note: The Ultrix FR12 requires the Ultricore BCS for configuration and operation.
