CONTROL SURFACE SIDECAR CONNECTION
The processing core supports an
additional connection for a second
control surface known as a sidecar.
A sidecar surface, unlike a surface
extension is fitted with its own pair of
surface switches and connects to the
'Surface 2' SFP ports on the Control
Processor cards in the processing
core, as shown in the adjacent diagram.
The primary surface switch needs to be
connected to the primary controller card,
and secondary switch to secondary card
to provide redundancy.
The Calrec Main Application
>System
Settings>Surface layout
page defines
the control surface panels that are fitted.
The layout shown on the 'Surface 1'
tab relates to the main control surface,
connected to the Control Processor
'Surface 1' ports. The layout shown on
the 'Surface 2' tab relates to a sidecar
surface connected to 'Surface 2'. The
surface layout numbers the POE switches
starting from #1 for both surface 1 and
surface 2. The surface layout page allows
for different console layouts to be created,
edited, saved and loaded onto the control
surface(s).
For systems that have temporary sidecars
it is advisable to have two surface layouts
saved, one with a sidecar / surface 2 and
one without. Loading a surface layout
with a surface 2 sidecar enables the
sidecar control panels. Loading a surface
layout without a surface 2 configuration
prevents error messages being generated
for panels that are not present when the
sidecar is removed or not powered, as
well as preventing paths being placed on
faders that are not currently present.
As with the main surface, the sidecar
can be supplied with copper or fibre
connections depending on the distance
required between the processing core and
the control surface.
Both control surfaces have full access to
the DSP within the processing core as
well as to all of the I/O that the processing
core has been given access to. To prevent
control conflicts, user splits can be put
in place between the two surfaces and
different monitoring outputs can be set up
for each one. Please refer to the console
operator manual for further information on
user splits and monitoring.
Both the main surface 1, and the sidecar
surface 2 can be physically split further
using extended control surface's if
required.
Extremely large control surface's would
require 2 pairs of surface switches fitting
in the single chassis surface in order to
be able to communicate with the high
number of control panels.
In such a case, the single chassis would
connect to both 'Surface 1' and 'Surface
2'. The surface layout for the single
control surface would be split across the
surface 1 and surface 2 screens. In such
a case, a separate sidecar cannot be
added, though surface extensions may be.
