![]() ![]() ![]() 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. 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.
