Using NetWave
T
his chapter covers user operation of the
NetWave console.
Console Overview
The NetWave console consists of: a main frame
holding multiple Dual Fader panels and one Moni-
tor panel; a Reflective Console Display with ste-
reo bargraph meters, a clock, and event timer;
and an in-line or rack mount power supply.
DUAL FADER/DUAL ROUTER PANELS
NetWave audio inputs are assigned to one or
more buses, level controlled and switched on and
off using “channel strip” controls on Dual Fader
panels. The standard Dual Fader panel has two
separate channel strips for controlling two local
source signals connected to the NetWave console.
When the NetWave is “Linked,” meaning that
the console is connected to a VistaMax system,
then routed sources may also be set as the
channel’s input. A modified Dual Fader panel,
called a Dual Router panel, can take the place of
any standard Dual Fader panel to select network
sources on the panel. Dual Router panels are iden-
tified by two 10-character displays that show the
name of the sources active on those two channels.
NetWave-8 consoles ship with four standard
Dual Fader panels installed. The NetWave-16 con-
sole ships with six Dual Fader panels, but can have
eight panels installed (as shown below), while the
NetWave-24 ships with nine Dual Fader panels,
but can have up to twelve installed.
A Quick Guide to using the NetWave Dual Fader
and Dual Router panels is on pages 3-3 and 3-4.
MONITOR PANEL
This standard panel is installed at the right end
of the frame. It has the monitor source selectors
and level controls for a control room and a studio.
It also has selector buttons to assign a signal to
the Aux meter.
A Quick Guide to using the Monitor panel is on
pages 3-5 to 3-8.
