Networking I/O Resources
The mc²56 MKII is just one member of the mc
2
/Nova family of products which share the same hardware and
software. The Nova73 and DALLIS system is available in its own right as a stand alone routing matrix. Multiple
systems can be networked to provide sharing of sources and destinations:
In the example above, mics are physically connected, via a DALLIS, to each system. Signals are transferred
between systems via ‘Netlinks’, providing the ability to share any mic input.
Each ‘Netlink’ is an audio connection which can be MADI, RAVENNA, AES or analogue audio, and signals are
dynamically allocated as each operator makes routes from the
Signal List display.
Any number of sources can be distributed depending on the physical limitations of your network. Please consult
your system specification for details.
On any system within the network, you can view which sources are distributed from the
%
column on the Signal
List display:
·
indicates that a source is connected locally to this console, and is ‘Shared’ (made available) to other
consoles within the network.
·
indicates that a source is ‘Imported’. In other words, it is not connected locally to this console.
All Lawo products have a consistent software release numbering system to indicate compatibility. In each
case, the first three digits of the software version
must match.
So, for example, a mc
2
66 console running version 5.10.0.2 can be networked to another mc
2
/Nova system
running 5.10.0.x . You can check the software version of your mc
2
system from the Global Options in the
System Settings display.
From Version 5.4 onwards, a warning icon appears in the Status Bar if the networked connection fails.
