A salvo is a named snapshot of routes. Fire it and every destination in it jumps to its stored source in one action — a show-open state, a rehearsal layout, an emergency fallback. There are two ways to build one, and the first is much faster. Capturing a s...

Two things should follow the signal rather than the cable: the tally lamp that tells a camera operator they are live, and the label under a monitor that says what is on it. FlowGrid moves both along the route automatically. Both are set up per input and per...

IFB — interruptible foldback — is the return feed a source hears while it is on air: the director’s talkback in a reporter’s earpiece. FlowGrid can set that return up automatically, so nobody has to remember to patch it when the shot changes. Link groups ke...

The Setup Wizard builds a complete FlowGrid configuration from nothing, in eight guided steps. It is the right starting point for a new installation; to change one that already exists, use the Editors instead. Open it from Wizard in the sidebar (under Admin...

The Editors are where you change a configuration that already exists — add a destination, retarget a port, rename a group, set up tally. They sit under Editor in the sidebar: Outputs, Inputs, Tielines & Inserts, Groups, Levels and Devices. Everything here c...

A tieline is a real cable from one device’s output into another device’s input. It is what lets FlowGrid present several separate boxes as one router. When an operator asks for a source that lives on device A on a destination that lives on device B, FlowGri...

A project is your whole FlowGrid configuration in one file: the layout, the current routing, the salvos and the users. The Projects page is how you back it up, move it to another system, keep several show configurations side by side, and get back to a known-...

FlowGrid runs at one of three licence tiers. The tier decides how much you can build and which extra features are available. It never switches the router off — a system with no FlowGrid licence at all still routes, on the Free tier. The tiers   Free...

FlowGrid can require people to sign in, and can give each of them a different view of the system: an operator who can route but cannot rebuild the configuration, a supervisor who can do both, a wall display that can only look. User accounts and roles are a ...

Three places tell you what FlowGrid is doing and whether anything is wrong: the sidebar Status block, the Health page and the Logs page. This article covers all three, then works through the problems people actually hit. The Status block At the bottom of t...

Besides SKAARHOJ panels and Reactor, FlowGrid can be routed by third-party equipment. It speaks two of the industry’s standard router-control languages, so a hardware panel, a piece of control software or a Bitfocus Companion button can drive it directly. T...

FlowGrid can let an AI assistant build and adjust your configuration from a plain-language conversation — “add eight more monitors on the second router and put them in the Gallery group” — instead of clicking through the editors. This is an optional, expert...

The TCP Device Core has a new way to describe what a device can do. Instead of filling in a fixed table of commands, you build your own set of parameters in a web page — each one with a proper name, a type, its own inputs, and a rule for reading the device’s...

It is possible to control the Blackmagic Camera App from Skaarhoj Blue Pill Panels. This has been tested initially with the app version 3.4.0.  There are a few settings needed to enable within the app.  In the Blackmagic Camera App settings: Remote Camera C...

The Softpanel is FlowGrid’s operator surface: a full-screen routing panel with no sidebar, no editors and nothing to configure. It is what you put on a touchscreen on a wall, in a gallery, or beside a desk — and with a kiosk link you can give each of those s...

What is ZeroTier? ZeroTier is a virtual networking platform that connects devices anywhere in the world as if they were plugged into the same local network switch. Devices join a network identified by a 16-digit network ID, and once they are authorized they ca...

TSL Toolbox is a small monitor/bridge for TSL tally data. It receives, edits, and forwards TSL 3.1 (fixed 18-byte frames) and TSL 5 messages across UDP, TCP (server & client), and multicast. It allows for seeing live messages, edit them inline, and configure I...
