US-3x00 User Manual
Control and Configuration:
Software:
The Apantac OG-US-3x00 models are controlled and configured through the openGear frame’s
control software ‘Dashboard’ by Ross Video inc. Dashboard can be acquired through the Ross
Video website; https://www.rossvideo.com/control-systems/dashboard/products/dashboard/#download
Dashboard software runs on PC’s and connects to the openGear frame’s control card via Ether-
net. The IP address of the openGear frame is displayed on the LCD panel on the front of the
frame. The openGear frame may have a fixed IP address or use DHCP.
The openGear frame’s control card communicates to the individual openGear cards via the
frame’s internal CANBUS (Controlled Area Network). CANBUS communicates to the frame’s
slots, the Apantac OG-US-3x00 cards do not possess an IP address. All control and configura-
tion of the OG-US-3x00 cards is through the Dashboard-CANBUS channels.
The Apantac OG-US-3x00 Dashboard interface is shown above. Each Apantac OG-US-3x00 card
should be recognized by Dashboard and displayed by the installed slot number.

VGA Input Tab:
VGA Position:
VGA video sources will typically require timing sync adjustments. This tab only applies when the video input format
is configured to ‘VGA’ on the Signal tab.
Auto Adjust:

to Adjust action can be repeated if necessary. If the Auto Adjust fails the adjustments can be performed manually
with the Vertical and Horizontal shift buttons.
Vertical:
The Vertical ’Shift Up’ and ’Shift Down’ buttons allow manual alignment of the VGA input video within the SDI video
output screen.

The Horizontal ’Shift Left’ and ’Shift Right’ buttons allow manual alignment of the VGA input video within the SDI vid-
eo output screen.

Display Tab:
Extended Display ID (EDID):
The video input port of the US-3x00 includes a programmable EDID. VGA, DVI. and HDMI sources will read this
EDID and detect the US-3x00 as a monitor. The US-3x00 EDID can be set to the generic, factory set EDID or it can
copy the EDID of any monitor.
To copy the EDID of a monitor:
 Connect the US-3x00 video input port to an input of any monitor.
 Power on the monitor.
 Click the “Read EDID from current display” option on this tab page.
 The EDID Status line will indicate the EDID is being copied, and then return to ‘ready’.
To reset the EDID to its factory default:
 Click the “Reset to default” option on this tab page.
 The EDID Status line will indicate the EDID is being reset, and then return to ‘ready’.
