28 APOLLO
Digital Broadcast Production Console
Control Surface
Any standard specification modern
PC running Windows 7 or Windows XP
Professional can be used as a backup
or replacement to connect to the
console and run the various Calrec
applications.
Connection by the PC's USB port, via the
supplied USB-Ethernet adaptor into a
spare POE switch P1 – P6 port ensures
the PC's network port is not damaged
by POE power. Note, not all available
USB-Ethernet adaptors have protection
against POE power, please refer to the
manufacturers specification if not using
ones supplied by Calrec.
Starting the Calrec Main Application on a
second PC will disable it on the first PC.
If using a laptop, or a different monitor
screen to the one supplied, a minimum
screen resolution of 1280 x 1024 is
required to display the Calrec software
correctly. Currently, such pixel height is
not widely supported by budget range
laptops. Using an alternative higher
resolution monitor such as 1920 x 1080
will display the Calrec software correctly
but the content will not scale up higher
than the 1280x1024 monitor size it was
designed for.
Calrec can supply pre-configured laptops
and replacement PC's ready to work
out of the box. The setup instructions
on this page can be used to configure
a non-Calrec supplied PC. Minimum
requirements for the PC are listed below.
