Network I/O Stagebox SB 32.24 User Guide

Ownership 

 

When multiple SSL consoles are connected to the Dante Network, each console has the ability to 

adjust all parameters and settings for SSL Network I/O Stageboxes. 

 

SSL Network I/O Stageboxes can be controlled by all SSL Live consoles, SSL System T consoles as 

well as computers running the SSL Network I/O Controller PC application (which can be downloaded 

from the SSL website). 

 

The concept of ownership has been introduced to assign one owner to each stagebox parameter, so 

that there can be no conflicts for control. 

 

To ‘own’ a Network I/O Stagebox, tap on the stagebox name and its 

Detail View 

will appear. 

Note: In an SSL Live system, first the device must be listed in the 

Configured Devices

 list. 

 

There are three levels of ownership: 

 

Stagebox ownership: control SB 32.24 setup information only 

Input ownership: control input parameters only 

Input x ownership: control of input parameters on a per input basis 

 

To become the Stagebox owner, press and hold the 

STAGEBOX OWNERSHIP

 button in the SB 

32.24’s GUI 

Detail View

. The Stagebox owner is listed in cyan beside this button. 

 

To become the owner of ALL inputs, press and hold 

INPUT OWNERSHIP. 

 

To become the owner of one or more specific inputs, first tap 

Inputs 

to the right of the  

SB 32.24's 

Detail View

. Tap on the desired input and press 

EDIT SETTINGS

. Then press and hold 

OWN

 

Multiple control devices can ‘own’ different settings of the device at the same time. But there can 

never be more than one owner for the same parameter. 

 

To release ownership, locate the owned parameter in the device's 

Detail View

 and press and hold 

REL

 

To release Stagebox Ownership, press and hold the 

STAGEBOX OWNERSHIP

 button to toggle it 

off. 

 

Ownership can be ‘taken’ from other owners. To do this locate the desired parameter and press and 

hold 

TAKE

 

Note: Ownership does not need to be released before it is taken. 

 

To find out which device is currently the owner of a parameter, locate the parameter in the device's 

Detail View

. Next to the buttons for 

OWN

TAKE

 or 

REL

 there is a label area showing the network 

name of the owner device.
