User Controls
The essential user controls for the OG-12GM consist of two components—an
openGear 2RU frame, and the DashBoard Control System.
openGear and AJA
openGear is an open-architecture, modular frame system designed by Ross
Video and supported by a diverse range of terminal equipment manufacturers,
including AJA. Ross Video manufactures the frames, power supplies and network
cards for openGear. AJA is a reseller of the openGear frames.
AJA Video is a leading manufacturer of video interface technologies, converters,
digital video recording solutions and professional cameras, bringing high-
quality, cost-effective products to the professional, broadcast and post-
production markets. AJA products, including openGear cards, are designed and
manufactured at our facilities in Grass Valley, California.
DashBoard Control System
The DashBoard Control System, created by Ross Video, provides a control
interface between Windows, macOS and Linux computers and the cards installed
in an openGear frame. DashBoard operates through TCP/IP communication
and requires an Ethernet connection between the controlling computer and an
openGear frame.
Use DashBoard to select the Mux/Demux link configuration settings.
