- 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.
  - To Assign an IP Address to Ultrix™ and Ultripower
    Use DashBoard Walkabout to assign an initial IP address to Ultrix™.
  - To Connect to Ultrix™ from DashBoard
    DashBoard connects to each device separately. You must create a new connection for Ultrix™, the Ultripower units, and Ultricool.
- Video Routing in Ultrix
  Sources and destinations in the router must be connected to the inputs and outputs of the switcher.
- 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.
