We are a FOX O&O and are trying to control the XClips box with the DD35 switcher. Can anyone offer advice on how they do this? Do you use timelines with PBus or Macros with PBus? What are the settings on the switcher and what are the settings on the XClips box? Please help. Thanks.

I think DD 35 will do louth as well, as does Xclips I think, this will actually give you a clip list on the switcher, more functionality then P-bus

Thanks Bill. I did contact Chyron and they said it can be controlled with PBus from the switcher. Just wanted to know from any other TD's that do control it that way, if they use Macros or timelines. It looks like Macros will be the easiest direction. Just need to know how to recall a clip from a snapshot and how to put a wait for user in a macro. Thanks.

I think Xclips will talk louth protocol, I forget whether it will do P-bus directly, not sure if you need a DNF or something in between, I would contact Chyron for more info on that.
