Studer RELINK is an I/O sharing network technology available for all Studer
products (OnAir and Vista consoles, Route 6000) allowing direct access to
sources and targets throughout the entire network – provided that the desired
sources and targets are configured as 'NetSources' and therefore available
for remote components of the system.
RELINK allows the design of 'distributed' audio network systems: enabling
Studer products to access all sources and targets of the complete system, and
therefore enhancing the flexibility of your facility.
Microphone control 'take-over' mechanisms are implemented on both the
OnAir and the Vista consoles.
On the OnAir consoles, signaling is coupled with the I/O sharing, which
means that red light, fader start and signaling connections automatically
follow any console where the audio signal is used, and are correctly applied
to the source (Studio, CD Player, etc) from anywhere.
On the Vista side, RELINK is a software functionality that is independent
from the hardware, allowing systems still using a Performa DSP core being
part of the network, too, as long as all the mic preamplifiers are of the D21m
type.
RELINK requires the following SW versions (or newer ones): Vista SW V4.1,
OnAir SW V3.1, and Route 6000 SW V2.0.
With SW V5.2, a new source and target navigator menu has been in trod uced.
It still is a pull-down menu, but it shows not only local sources and targets,
but also sources and targets of all systems connected via the network. To see
the connected systems, the marked button has to be clicked. All connected
systems are then listed and their 'NetSources' are shown.
