Green Card State Alarm

When a signal is present and locked, the DashBoard Control System shows 

a green Card State. Additionally, the Signal State is shown as "OK" under the 

Signal Status tab. The type of SDI Signal detected is also indicated (for example, 

"1920x1080p59.94 3G-A"). 

Figure 6.  Signal is present and locked

User Controls

The OG-Hi5-4K-Plus can be used right out of the box for many applications, since 

it is designed to recognize inputs and perform standard actions automatically. 

However, you can also manually configure the OG-Hi5-4K-Plus using remote 

configuration through the DashBoard Control System for an openGear Frame. 

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. 
For details about acquiring and using the DashBoard Control System, refer to 

"Using the DashBoard Control System" on page 15.
