This is great because now anytime I make a performance improvement, add a new feature, etc., I only have to add it to the master control panel, and the remote clients will get that benefit when they execute the command.

This master control panel is where all of the code lies that does the actual work, whether it is turning a projector on, executing a custom control on a video switcher, setting a PTZ camera preset, etc. I tend to customize these panels for their application, only giving them the command options necessary for that area. Here is an example of one of the remote panels, used primarily for turning projectors on and off in one of the auditoriums and controlling screens we use in those rooms. Then, each production machine has Dashboard installed and is running one of the remote panels I’ve created. Now we have a “master production control” custom panel that is always open in DashBoard on one of the production machines. I’ve also created custom panels to turn on/off projectors and do simple operations on the video switchers (by firing custom controls through Dashboard), and over time this developed into the complex but flexible system we use today. If you’d like a copy of this panel to use in your church, let me know. This is all possible because Aja created a RESTful API that can be used to access their KiPro devices, and through Dashboard, we can take advantage of that. I’ve made both versions of this custom panel available and there are churches, new stations, and government agencies all over the country using both version of these panels.

I later wrote a full transport control version that allowed you to cue up or delete clips, rewind, fast forward, etc. The first version wasn’t too fancy, it basically just allowed you to enter a custom clip name and start/stop recording, but it suited our needs.

The first one I created was a panel to control and arm our Aja Ki Pro recorder so we could easily record the sermon video for later editing. I started creating my own custom panels in Dashboard about 4 years ago. In ministry, it’s always great when we can create simpler systems where volunteers can succeed, which is why tools like this are so valuable. Here’s a screenshot of some code in one of my panels. It uses Java and JavaScript technologies. It does require some programming knowledge if you really want to have full control to design and create your own workflows, but if you’re up for learning, there are plenty of resources available to help you along the way. With Dashboard, you can create your own custom panels to do whatever you need. I would highly recommend it even if you don’t use other Ross products. It’s free, cross-platform, and with the community forums available, you have a lot of power at your fingertips to control all of your equipment. The Ross framework makes all that possible.Ī great product that Ross makes is their Dashboard software. We have two Carbonite switcher panels/frames and several OpenGear frames with cards doing things from audio embedding/de-embedding, video up/down/cross conversion, fiber conversion, etc. At my church, we rely heavily on Ross products for our video systems.
