Option slot
Two card types are currently available.
►
An analog input module allowing you to feed a
Master unit with two analog input signals.
►
An AES Digital Input card (TC Electronic item
number 995285001) giving you the option of send-
ing all six channels in a 5.1 setup to one single
Master monitor. This card will also support inputs
at 192 kHz.
From there, the signal is distributed to four slave
monitors and a subwoofer via the TC LINK RJ-45
connections, creating a fully digital 5.1 setup.
The Slave and
subwoofer units
The Slave and Sub units contain one RJ45 Input con-
nector and one Link connector.
Audio and control data are sent from the Master unit to
the Slave units via the
RJ45 Input connector. The RJ45
Link connector can be used for data transmission to
additional monitors.
Initializing the network
When the setup is powered up for the first time, the
Master unit scans the setup in order to determine the
number of monitors connected. Each monitor is recog-
nized via a unique serial number, but can be renamed
according to its task.
After the initial scanning of the setup, the Master unit
will be re-scanning the setup every five seconds in or-
der to determine any change.
Additional AIR Control units
Additional control units – such as a computer running
the AIR Control software or the AIR Remote – can be
connected to
any free “Link” connector in the system.
Control data is transmitted via the System Controller,
and distributed to other monitors in the network.
