Ultrix Carbonite Mosaic Setup
The Ultrix™ router must be set up to support the Ultrix Carbonite Mosaic on the Software Defined Production Engine (SWR-SDPE) blade. This includes setup of the Ultripower units, DashBoard connections, the matrix database, and the UltriScape Multi-Viewer.
Video Routing in Ultrix
Sources and destinations in the router must be connected to the inputs and outputs of the switcher.
To Assign a Switcher Output to a Router Output
Switcher video outputs are sources in the router that need to be connected to router destinations and outputs.

Ultrix Carbonite Mosaic Setup
The Ultrix™ router must be set up to support the Ultrix Carbonite Mosaic on the Software Defined Production Engine (SWR-SDPE) blade. This includes setup of the Ultripower units, DashBoard connections, the matrix database, and the UltriScape Multi-Viewer.
- Ultrix Carbonite Mosaic Hardware Setup
  The router and switcher components of Ultrix Carbonite Mosaic 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.
- Video Routing in Ultrix
  Sources and destinations in the router must be connected to the inputs and outputs of the switcher.
  - Ultrix Carbonite Mosaic Video Flow
  - To Create a Router Database
    The router uses the database to identify sources and destinations and assign them to levels.
  - To Create a Router SoftPanel
    The SoftPanel allows you to connect router sources to destinations and is required to connect switcher outputs to the router outputs.
  - To Assign a Switcher Output to a Router Output
    Switcher video outputs are sources in the router that need to be connected to router destinations and outputs.
  - To Set UltriClean Clean Switch
    The UltriClean feature allows the router to delay each video output. The switcher introduces a delay in the video path relative to rest of the router. The Clean Switch line buffer must be set for every output used for switcher outputs to properly time them with the rest of the router sources.
- Audio Routing in Ultrix™
  Audio is handled independently in the router and is separate from the switcher. You can output Media-Store and Clip Player audio.
- Routed Tallies
  The switcher must pass tally information to the router so that the router can tally the correct video source that is being passed to the switcher.
- UltriScape Multi-Viewer
  Some of the outputs from each ME are available as PiPs for the software defined UltriScape MultiViewer in the router.

To Assign a Switcher Output to a Router Output

Switcher video outputs are sources in the router that need to be connected to router destinations and outputs.

From the DashBoard tree view for the router, expand the Ultrix > SoftPanel node.
Double-click on the name of your panel.

The panel is a visual representation of the crosspoint with sources listed across the top and destinations down the side. If you click on the point on the matrix where a source and destination meet, you create a path that routes the source video signal to the output that the destination is assigned to.
Click on the crosspoint for each switcher source (output) to assign it to a destination and click TAKE.
Click on the crosspoint for each router source to assign it to a switcher destination (input) and click TAKE.

Tip: Changing what router sources are assigned to the switcher inputs allows you to access any video source on the router.
Click on the crosspoint for each Media-Store and Clip Player audio source to assign it to a destination and click TAKE.
- Media-Store Channel 1 Audio — audio channels 1 and 2.
- Media-Store Channel 2 Audio — audio channels 3 and 4.
- Clip Player Audio — audio channels 5 and 6.
Note: The audio from these sources is available on the specified audio channels on the AUX-A input for the slot that the SDPE is installed in.
