52 BRIO 36
Audio Production System with Optional Networking
SETTING UP
REQUIRED I/O BOXES
BRIO 36 has its own built-in I/O but this and all other I/O resources on a Hydra2 network can be used by
all consoles as long as they have been granted access from the network administration tool, H2O, and the
resources have been added to the consoles ‘required list’.
If connected to a network, and due to the scalable nature of Hydra2 the user may have access to a large amount of I/O
resources, some of which they won’t always need. The ‘required list’ provides a way to narrow the scope for individual
consoles, speeding up work-flow and making port identification easier.
Only I/O resources in the ‘required list’ will be available for patching to and from the console. If not connected to the
network only the Built-in I/O box will be shown in the required list. Brio’s internal I/O is identifiable as a console image.
The ID for internal I/O is automatically generated, based on the consoles ID in order to prevent conflict with other I/O on
the network
Viewing Resources
Tap SYSTEM SETTINGS in the top right of the touch display, then select ‘Required I/O Boxes’. The user will see a split
screen with all online resources on the left and the ‘required list’ on the right.
Both lists are held in tables with 3 columns: Hardware ID, label and type. It may help to sort these tables by tapping on
column headers. Multiple taps will switch sorting to be either ascending or descending.
Hardware IDs for physical I/O boxes are set from the dip switches on the back of the units (See “Audio I/O Connections”
in the Installation manual for more information). Hydra patchbay IDs are taken from H2O and are related to folder names.
Labels are explained in detail, here:
”INPUT AND OUTPUT PATCHING” on page 74 .
