Audio Production System with Optional Networking
SETTING UP
HYDRA2 CONFIGURATION
System ID Change
From version 1.1 Brio 36’s can be used as part of a Hydra2 Network and have access to the resources of that network.
In order to facilitate this the System ID has to be altered so that it is no longer set to 192.1 which is the default for a
Standalone console as shown in Figure 1. In order to do this the user has to enter Administrator Mode. Note: a Brio
cannot be the master of the network and requires a 4U or 8U core system to connect to which acts as the network master.
This is usually a separate core, but could equally be an Apollo, Artemis or Summa Console core. Figure 2 shows the
Brio now set to a new System ID of 192.150, it has been connected to a master core and now the Brio appears as a
Networked Console. Note: it’s AutoPromote value has been increased to 70 seconds to cope with any reset of the
master core before AutoPromote takes effect otherwise the Brio might self promote when it needs to stay on the network.
