Description of the Device
NUAGE I/O (16D) / NUAGE I/O (16A) / NUAGE I/O (8A8D) Operation Manual
15
1
[AC IN]
For connection to the power cable.
2
[Fan]
The electric fan for expelling heat and cooling the unit.
3
[UNIT ID rotary switch]
Sets the device ID on the Dante network. When
connecting multiple devices, set the ID on each device to
a different number. Note that you can only select the
device ID while the power is off. If you change this while
the power is on, the new device ID will not be applied.
4
[Dip switch]
Sets the device settings or initializes them. Note that you
can only select [Dip switch] while the power is off. If you
change this while the power is on, the settings will not be
applied.
5
[PRIMARY] (RJ-45 connector)
For connection to the Ethernet cable (CAT5e or better
recommended). This connector is for construction of the
Dante network, and is capable for input/output of sixteen
channels of audio. For details on how to connect the
devices, refer to “Setup” (page 10).
The lamp on this connector lights when the device is
communicating with the Dante network.
NOTE
• Use STP (shielded twisted pair) cable to prevent
electromagnetic interference. Make sure that the metal parts of
the plugs are electrically connected to the STP cable shield by
conductive tape or comparable means.
• Connect only Dante-compatible devices or GbE-compatible
devices (including a computer).
6
[SECONDARY] (RJ-45 connector)
The same as [PRIMARY]. However, the connection
configuration varies depending on the settings of [Dip
switch] (page 15). For details on how to connect the
devices, refer to “Setup” (page 10).
7
[SYSTEM LINK OUT] (BNC connector)
For connection to the BNC coaxial cable. When
connecting this connector to NUENDO SyncStation,
Nuendo and the devices maintain accurate
synchronization with each other.
8
[WORDCLOCK OUT] (BNC connector)
For connection to the BNC coaxial cable. This connector
outputs the word clock signal.
9
[WORDCLOCK IN] (BNC connector)
For connection to the BNC coaxial cable. This connector
receives the word clock signal.
)
[CASCADE OUT] (RJ-45 connector)
For connection to the Ethernet cable (CAT5e or better
recommended). This connector inputs and outputs
sixteen channels of audio for the direct monitoring. This is
useful when outputting the audio signal to another device
with near-zero latency. You can use this function with
Nuendo.
When connecting multiple devices, connect this to the
[CASCADE IN] terminals on other devices as shown.
Up to eight devices can be connected in this way.
NOTE
• Use a straight type (STP) cable of less than 3 meters.
• To use direct monitoring, complete “Setup” (page 10) then turn
on “Direct Monitoring” in the “Device Setup” menu on Nuendo.
• The device can input and output audio signals for direct
monitoring when the sample rate setting on the device is
96 kHz or lower. Direct monitoring is not supported for settings
of over 96 kHz.
!
[CASCADE IN] (RJ-45 connector)
Refer to [CASCADE OUT].
[Dip switch] Description
1
Selects whether [SECONDARY] (page 15) will
operate as a redundant network (page 9) or
daisy chain connection (page 9). [SECONDARY]
will operate as a redundant network when you
turn this on (down), and daisy chain connection
when you turn this off (up).
2
Initializes the device settings. Follow the steps
below.
1. Turn the power of the device off.
2. Turn [Dip switch 2] on (down).
3. Turn the power of the device on, then wait for
the [OUTPUT level meter] of the 16 channels to
flash at intervals.
4. Turn the power of the device off.
5. Turn [Dip switch 2] off (up).
6. Turn the power of the device on.
3
Not used. Turn it off (up) at any time.
4
Not used. Turn it off (up) at any time.
