RedNet 5 Control Panel
Full details can be found in the RedNet System User Guide. The notes below describe only those
aspects of RedNet Control which are specific to RedNet 5. For all other RedNet Control features,
please see the RedNet System User Guide.
Port activity: Each of RedNet 5’s 32 inputs and 32 outputs has a virtual tricolour LED which confirms
the audio signal level in that channel. These LEDs effectively mimic the front panel LEDs; the colour
indications are:
• Green: signal present
• Amber: -6 dBFS
• Red: 0 dBFS
Note if the number of channels is reduced due to higher sample rates, fewer LEDs will appear active.
Tools menu :
• Expansion Mode – when enabled, the RedNet 5 appears to Pro Tools as only one 16-in/16-out
interface, instead of the normal two. This allows another Pro Tools|HD I/O audio interface to
be connected to the RedNet 5’s EXPANSION port, or vice versa. See page 13.
• Clock Source – lets the user select the source of word clock sync. The options available are:
• Internal – sync is derived from RedNet 5’s own internal clock
• Wordclock – select this when using an external master clock or when RedNet 5 is to be
locked to some other piece of digital audio equipment outside the RedNet network.
• Loop Sync – select this when a Pro Tools|HD interface is being used as the clock source.
The LOOP SYNC OUT of the Pro Tools|HD interface should be connected to the LOOP SYNC
IN of the chosen RedNet 5 before selecting LOOP SYNC as the clock source.
• Wordclock Termination – when set, applies a 75 ohm termination to the Wordclock Out
connector. This termination should be enabled if the RedNet 5 is the “last” in a daisy-chain of
digital audio units interconnected for wordclock purposes.
• Preferred Master - allows the user to set the RedNet 5 to be the master clock source for
the RedNet network. This will be set automatically when the Clock Source is set to either
Word Clock or Loop Sync.
• Word Clock Output – lets the user select the clock rate that appears at the WORD CLOCK OUT
connector:
• System Sample Rate – the word clock output will be at the same frequency as the sample
rate set for the system.
