Control
All system and device parameters are set using OPTOCORE CONTROL software on a PC. If the X6R/V3R-TP
units are connected to a FX Device using SANE or DD32R(E) using the BI-B as shown in Connection Tables the
control and audio data is transmitted over SANE resp. the D-Sub-25 interfaces. OPTOCORE CONTROL can
control all X6R/V3R units in a network. In stand-alone applications, the RS232, LAN or USB port enables the
configuration and monitoring of one unit attached directly to the PC.
X6R-TP with DD32R(E)
X6R-TP devices can work in converter mode and can be fully controlled through the Optocore network when
connected to DD32R-FX or DD32E device. The control of the microphone preamps, levels etc. is enabled by
choosing an X6R with the appropriate card configuration in the local settings dialog of the DD32R(E) under Port
setup. Up to four X6R and eight V3R units can be connected to one DD32E using BI-B, Tri-A or Tri-B cables. The
I/O configuration of each DD32R(E) port depends on the card configuration of the attached X6R device:

If 8/8 reverse is chosen, physical channels 1-4 (audio channels 1-8) of the D-Sub-25 ports on the DD32R(E) are
outputs, physical channels 5-8 (audio channels 9-16) are inputs. The X6R AES ports are configured as eight
inputs first followed by eight outputs. Therefore by using the straight-through BI-B cable and choosing 8/8
Reverse the inputs and outputs of the DD32R(E) and X6R are connected correctly.
X6R/V3R-TP in SANE Network Applications
X6R/V3R-TP devices can be connected in a SANE daisy chain and integrated with the Optocore network through
any R-series FX device. All device parameters like gain, phantom and pad can be accessed and modified using
OPTOCORE CONTROL software, which runs on PC connected via USB or RS232 to any FX device or via LAN
to any LAN or SANE port.
Third Party Control
Third party protocols for device controlling can be used. It is possible to control Optocore preamps directly from
Yamaha, Studer/Soundcraft, SSL, Lawo and Digico consoles with Special Emulation Mode configured. A Multiple
Emulation Mode feature enables to control preamps in Optocore network from four different consoles.
Please note:
Please refer to the Optocore Quick Start Guide for the basic system configuration and
setup.
