IOX
The first time you launch SoundGrid Studio, the Wizard will open. It scans the network, inventories its assets, and then configures the
devices. If the Wizard does not start automatically, click the Start Auto Config button, which is next to the Network Port.
Choose “NEXT” to start automatic configuration. This will take a few moments. Choose “CANCEL” to configure manually.
If the Wizard cannot locate the requested SoundGrid network devices, this means the devices
might be off or not connected properly. In such a case the Wizard will allow you to rescan the
network or work as a Driver node slaved to another system. For more information please refer
the SoundGrid Studio User Guide.
When configuration is complete, close the window. If there’s still a problem, you can use the
System Inventory page to assign devices, control the network, and manage clock. To learn
how to use this page, please refer to the SoundGrid Studio Application user guide.
SoundGrid Studio uses Ethernet to stream audio between devices on a SoundGrid network.
Clock synchronization is also carried over Ethernet. This method of providing clock is called
Sync over Ethernet (SoE). SoundGrid I/O devices can clock by other means as well, but SoE is
by far the most common (and convenient) way to provide clock information to network devices.
In the SoundGrid Studio Setup page, you will see racks containing all of the devices assigned to your system: physical and virtual I/O
devices, drivers, and servers. Each I/O rack slot displays the device’s mode, clock status, and sample rate. In this example the IOX is
the SoundGrid network’s clock master device, indicated by its blue color and the icon text: On, Master Clock, INT (48 kHz).
To add another SoundGrid device, click on the arrow in an empty rack slot. From the list of available devices, choose the one you
want to add, in this case, a DiGiGrid MGB coaxial MADI interface. In this image the IOX is grayed out, and therefore unavailable, since
it is already claimed (in this case, by you).
