3.2 Adding More I/Os to Your System
Add a DiGiGrid IOX and you pick up another 12 mic inputs, 6 line outs, and 4 more individual headphone outputs. Connect the IOX
to the built-in Ethernet switch on the rear of the IOS. You can add up to eight SoundGrid I/O devices to a single host. Each of these
can be accessed by any computer on the network.
Audio and clock pass through the same Ethernet cable. This means of distributing clock is called “Sync over Ethernet” (SoE) and is
used between all SoundGrid devices. To clock the entire network to an external clock source such as house sync, use Word Clock or
Digital In as clock master for the IOS. If the IOS is the SoE master, then the entire network will be locked to this external source.
Adding more SoundGrid-compatible I/Os, such as DiGiGrid IOC, does not impact server performance. You simply gain more I/O
resources.
