OG-ROI Series openGear card v1.6 17 www.aja.com
Chapter 2 – Operation
IMPORTANT: Once you have configured the OG-ROI card using DashBoard, and as long
as the input format remains the same, the settings will persist when the frame
is disconnected from a controlling computer (in stand-alone mode). If you
anticipate that the input format may change, and if the current configuration
settings wouldn't make sense for a different input format, you can enable Auto
Bypass Mode (Auto Bypass Mode checkbox is selected from the Input tab). When
enabled, Auto Bypass Mode forces the OG-ROI card to use Auto in all applicable
settings when the input format changes. When the original input format is
re-connected, the OG-ROI will exit Auto Bypass Mode and restore all previously
configured settings for that format.

This manual addresses only those essential aspects of the DashBoard Control
System needed to control the OG-ROI Series cards.
Requirements
The DashBoard Control System requires the following components:
• openGear frame with a Frame Controller card
• Ethernet connection betweeen the controlling computer and the openGear
frame
NOTE: The openGear frame ships from AJA with the MFC-8322-S Frame Controller card
for controlling the new AJA DashBoard cards. The openGear frame also supports
the MFC-0G3-N Advanced Networking Frame Controller card, which can be used
to control compatible OG cards.
IMPORTANT: DashBoard version 8.5.1 or later is required to support the OG-ROI-HDMI
and OG-ROI-DVI cards.
DashBoard automatically discovers openGear and DashBoard Connect devices,
such as openGear frames and cards that are present and accessible on your
network.
Control Interface Basic Components
The basic components of the DashBoard Control System user interface consist of
the basic tree view of frames and cards, the card information and status panel,
and the parameter controls panel. These elements are shown below in
Figure 14.
