ReDnet A8R/A16R oPeRAtIon
first Use and firmware Updates
Your RedNet A8R/A16R may require a firmware update* when it is first installed and switched on.
Firmware updates are initiated and handled automatically by the RedNet Control application.
*It is important that the firmware update procedure is not interrupted – either by switching off power to the
RedNet A8R/A16R unit or the computer on which RedNet Control is running, or by disconnecting either from the
network.
From time to time Focusrite will release RedNet firmware updates within new versions of RedNet
Control. We recommend keeping all RedNet units up to date with the latest firmware version supplied
with each new version of RedNet Control.
Digital Clocking
Each RedNet A8R/A16R will automatically lock to a valid Network Master via its Dante connection.
Alternatively, if a Network Master is not present, then the unit can be chosen as the Network Master
by the user.
Pull Up and Pull Down operation
RedNet A8R/A16R is able to operate at a specified pull up or pull down percentage as selected in the
Dante Controller application.
sample Rate Converters
SRC will need to be switched on if the AES/EBU source is not using the current system clock as a
reference signal.
Note that engaging the sample rate converter will increase the overall latency of the device.
