Reflective Console Display
The integrated Reflective Console Display is lo-
cated just behind the Dual Fader and Monitor
panels. The standard display has two stereo bar-
graph meters with the left one showing the PGM
1 output levels. The right-hand, or Aux Meter,
shows a source selected using the Meter source
controls on the Monitor panel. Two more stereo
bargraph meters (for Program 2 and Program 3)
can be added to the larger frame sizes by install-
ing the optional Quad Meter kit.
A time of day clock and an event timer are also
in the Console Display. The default operating mode
for the clock is autonomous, meaning the clock
runs independently and must be set by hand. The
clock time remains current for about three days
with the power off. After that, the time must again
be set. The clock can alternately be slaved to a
SMPTE, ESE TC-89 or ESE TC-90 master clock.
In this mode, the time set buttons are not active.
The event timer is controlled by Monitor panel
buttons, as well as reset commands from one or
more channels when the Auto button is lit.
Monitor & Output Card
Each NetWave console has one Monitor & Out-
put card with the user connections listed on page
1-2. The Monitor panel plugs into the Monitor &
Output card, receiving power and control signals.
The card also supplies power and clock signals,
and sends and receives bused audio signals, to the
DSP & I/O cards via a short flat cable jumper.
There are two LEDs, to indicate operational sta-
tus (DSP clock and Fail), and a console reset but-
ton located on the Monitor & Output card.
The Monitor & Output card is located below
and behind the Monitor panel and Reflective Con-
sole Display. In normal operation the card con-
nections are hidden by a cosmetic flip-open rear
cover.
DSP & I/O Cards
Each DSP & I/O card (Digital Signal Processor
plus Inputs and Outputs) has the setup controls,
audio inputs and logic I/O connectors for eight
console channels. The channels are on the four
Dual Fader panels that mount directly in front of
each card. A DSP Active and a Fault LED indi-
cate operational status on each card.
There is one DSP & I/O card on NetWave-8
consoles, two on NetWave-16 consoles and three
on NetWave-24 consoles. In normal operation, the
DSP & I/O cards are completely hidden from the
operator by a cosmetic flip-up cover.
Each DSP & I/O card has twelve RJ-45 con-
nectors. Eight are internal connectors for four Dual
Fader panels (using red CAT-5 cables supplied with
the frame); the other four RJ-45 connectors are
for optional Dual Router Kits (which plug in us-
ing a supplied blue CAT-5 cable). Customer-sup-
plied CAT-5 cables then connect the Dual Router
kits to the VistaMax LAN using the four rear panel
RJ-45 passthru connectors.
Each DSP & I/O card has a common set of as-
signment buttons and indicator LEDs to assign
the parameter settings for each A and B source on
the eight channels associated with that DSP &
I/O card. The setup parameters include: input se-
lection (analog, digital or network); mode selec-
tion (stereo, L, R or mono); signal function (mic,
line, Telco); whether the logic I/O is active; input
left and right gain trims for both analog and digi-
tal inputs; network source assignment; and other
logic settings.
Power Supply
Two different power supplies are used with Net-
Wave consoles. Each has a single 48-volt output
on a keyed DC connector and each is supplied
with a detachable IEC AC cord.
An in-line supply (50-27) is standard on the Net-
Wave-8 and -16 consoles. It has a captive six foot
