Installing a Mirror Desk
Installing a Mirror Desk
From Version 5.4 onwards, two identical control surfaces can connect to the same Nova73 in order to mirror each
other. For example, in a theatre you can install one surface in the auditorium and the other in a separate control
room to facilitate mixing from two different locations.
Prerequisites
·
The two control surfaces MUST be from the same console family, so either 2 x mc
2
56 OR 2 x mc
2
66.
·
Different frame sizes are possible, but the position of the "main faders" must be identical in both surfaces.
·
The Bay Server Rotary Switches for the Channel and Central GUI of the "mirror" desk must be properly
configured - see next page.
·
The SCREEN CONTROL panel soft keys will not work on the "mirror" desk.
·
Windows Remote Desktop connections will only appear on the main desk. Therefore, it is recommended
to use a VNC remote connection instead.
Installation
The two control surfaces should be installed in the usual manner.
To cable the surfaces, connect the main desk to the Ethernet A port(s) of the Nova73 Router Module, and the
mirror desk to the EXT port of the main desk as shown below:
