Master & Slave Concept
Two types of hardware exist for each Ellipse 8 iDP
™
and Ellipse 10 iDP
™
(with the exception of the Ellipse TS212 iDP
™
subwoofer – Slave only).
Master – A Master unit is able to:
}
Receive digital audio on AES/EBU connections (two channels)
}
Receive analog audio (two channels)
}
Send and receive audio and control data via the proprietary TC LINK connection
Master Monitor
}
To Set a Master Monitor as the System Controller the TC LINK button on the rear panel must be left in the
out position
}
Only one of the Master units must be setup as the System Controller. This is achieved by leaving out the
TC LINK button on the rear panel. (See below). Setting up a system is carried out from the System Controller
monitor (unless you have iDP
SOFT
™
or PC-iP
™
), this includes set-up, task setting and calibration of all
connected monitors.
}
The Master unit distributes Audio and control data to the respective Slave units connected.
System Controller, Master or Slave
To set up a Master unit to be either System Controller or Master/Slave the LINK button on the rear panel must be set up
correctly.
Out - The monitor operates as a System Controller
In - The monitor operates as either a regular Master with digital or analog Inputs are or as a Slave unit.
Inputs & Outputs
The Master unit contains AES/EBU and Analog input connectors and three Link connectors carrying both audio and control
data to connected Slave units.
Connectors
1 x AES/EBU – XLR
2 x Analog inputs
2 x Link RJ45 connectors
1 x Link/Input RJ45 connector
1 x World Clock BNC sync
Option slot
The analog input module can be removed and replaced with an AES Digital Input card giving the option of sending all
six channels in a 5.1 setup to one single Master monitor. From there the signal is distributed to 4 slave monitors and Sub
via the TC LINK RJ-45 connections creating a fully digital 5.1 setup. The AES Digital input card is also required for other
digital surround setups (See the Setups section of this manual)
