Ross’s macro functions are call Custom Controls, and the 12.3 software has a very easy to use interface. You don’t have to have a touchscreen, but if you have one it is so very sweet. I snagged an unused Touchscreen HP we had that used to be a lighting computer. In order to do this, we needed a computer on the network near the switcher control panel. But I wanted to use the new features in 12.3. And could keep using the switcher just like we always had. For whatever reason, some of our settings didn’t come back the first time. That’s normal. Once it’s finished, reload your saved settings. At one point the screen will say Critical Update. To go from 10.00 to 12.3 it takes a few minutes. A few seconds later the control panel will see the USB and start the update. Keep holding how the rocker switch for a 10 count, then release. Hold down the “Update” rocker switch and power the frame back on. (Make sure you save your settings BEFORE you try to update.) On the frame, power down the switcher, insert the USB.
#Ross carbonite used update
In order to do a Forced Update you need a fat32 formatted USB drive of 2GB or larger with only the new software on it. I ended up having to do a Forced Update which erased everything. I tried the basic update, but I think going from version 10 to 12 was too much for that. Version 12.3 had only been out for a few weeks. There’s a big warning on the Ross download page about not being able to downgrade below version 11.0 of the software once you update. The update process is simple, but a little scary. Since I was about to tweak some things anyway, I decided now was the time to update the software. When we reloaded the settings, not everything was exactly the way it was before. The surge was strong enough and fast enough that even though the switcher was on a UPS with surge suppression, the frame lost connection with the control panel. Or some sort of power surge, we don’t know what it was. So we used the Ross to do the what we needed, but didn’t use any of the advanced featured. Then lightning struck.
#Ross carbonite used how to
The Ross is capable of recording and recalling macros from the control panel, but I have to admit, I spent way too much time trying to figure out how to do it. A macro is a function that allows you to record multiple button pushes and switcher states and recall them with the push of a button. We had been running version 10.0 of the software since I’ve been here. The computer based Dashboard software was very handy for setting up and changing switcher configurations, but I didn’t use it for much else. Of course, there’s always other options out there, but we have been really happy with our Ross.
For basic IMAG and Stream/TV/Record switching it works really well. Perfect for many church video switching environments 4 keys per ME, 24 input panel, DVE, 8 Aux, 6 frame syncs built in. At work we have a 2ME Ross Carbonite Video Switcher.
