WORKING OFFLINE
Before we move on to look at adding elements to projects it is important to understand the
difference between working off line and normal on-line operation at an event. When working
off line the Palette allows you to drop elements into the System Diagram, you can open arrays,
speakers and Merlins as you would for an on-line system. This is useful as a means to get used
to system operation in Vu-Net but very little beyond that. Unlike some systems you CANNOT
create a system design off line and connect to a system on site. When connecting to a system
you have to use Device Discovery which searches all available connected devices for system
elements and automatically drops them into the system diagram showing their Ethernet and Vu-
Net Connections. This is vital as every Vu-Net element has a unique factory set IP address which
Vu-Net records so it can provide real-time monitoring of the system and can display the status
of every device. If for example you re-connect to a system having used it on one day and shut
down over night, Vu-Net will be able to detect that every cabinet has been turned back on and
the status of all parameters of every DSP. We will show how to introduce all available elements
into a project off line but will cover Device Discovery and on-line operation in a later chapter.
ADDING MERLIN
Adding any devices to a System diagram is a simple case of clicking on the required item in the
Palette:
Then click on the System Diagram workspace. The cursor will have a small white box with a cross
in the centre prompting you to click where you wish to deposit the device. Here we see a new
Merlin added to a project:
