Dual Fader Panels
The NetWave-8 console comes fully populated with four Dual Fader panels. The NetWave-16 console comes
with six Dual Fader panels and two Dual Blank panels. The NetWave-24 console comes with six Dual Fader
panels and three Dual Blank panels. You can replace any Dual Blank panel with a Dual Fader, a Dual
Selector, or a Dual Router panel. You can also upgrade any Dual Fader panel to be a Dual Router or a Dual
Selector panel by installing an upgrade kit. Each panel type is fastened using four hex head screws.
Dual Fader Panel Installation in Place of a Dual Blank Panel
1.
Using a 2 mm or 5/64" hex driver, remove the four screws fastening the Dual Blank panel to the chassis.
2.
Lift the panel out of the console.
3.
Cut the tie wrap on the red flat cable folded below the Dual Blank panel.
4.
Plug this red cable into J5 on the fader panel.
5.
For a Dual Router or Dual Selector panel, connect its blue CAT-5 cable to the LAN passthru jack.
6.
Fasten the panel to the chassis using the screws removed in Step 1.
Console Display
NetWave consoles use a DirectView Console Display with either a Dual Meter Display with two meters (Figure
2-14), or a Quad Meter Display with four meters (Figure 1-1). Each display includes a digital clock and an
event timer, to the right of the meters, and a cue speaker, mounted behind a mesh screen just below the
meters. The Console Display is fastened to the top of the console frame, just behind the control panels.
Figure 2-14. Dual Meter Console Display
A Dual Meter Display has two horizontal stereo bar graph meters. Alphanumeric displays below each meter
identify the displayed signal (PROGRAM 1, PROGRAM 2, and so forth). The meters provide simultaneous
level monitoring of the Program 1 bus on the left-hand meter and a second bus or system signal on the
right-hand meter (called the Auxiliary Meter). The source for the Auxiliary meter (PROGRAM 1–4, EXTERNAL
1, or EXTERNAL 2) is set by the Aux Meter buttons on the Monitor Control panel. The Aux Meter can be
configured to alternately display the cue bus levels when cue is active on any fader channel.
The Quad Meter Display adds two meters to allow the levels for all four Program buses to be displayed
simultaneously. The left meter displays Program 1, the next two meters display Program 2 and Program 3
respectively, and the right-most Auxiliary meter functions the same as on the Dual Meter Display.
Various meter, clock, and event timer parameters are set using multi-switches (inside the Console Display)
on the meter-clock-timer board (in the Dual and Quad Meters) and on the two-meter board (in the Quad
Meter only). The rest of this section discusses accessing and setting these switches.
Here are the display parameters and settings (factory default settings listed first):
●
Meter Display Mode (average plus peak display; average-only display)
●
Blue Over LEDs turn-on level (-6 dBFS; -4 dBFS; -2 dBFS; 0 dBFS)
●
Peak Signal Hold (2-second hold; no peak hold)
●
Clock Mode (autonomous; slaved to an ESE or SMPTE master clock input signal)
●
Autonomous Time Display Mode (12-hour; 24-hour)
●
Master Clock (autonomous; ESE; SMPTE)
●
Event Timer (always displays .1 second; does not display .1 second while running)
