Audio Sync for all Systems

Vista 5 is by default equipped with two network ports: Primary LAN and
Secondary LAN, the sockets thereof can be found on the rear side of the
desk.
The simplest way is to use the Secondary LAN port for I/O Sharing. In that
case, the Primary LAN port can still be wired directly to the bridge card of
the SCoreLive. In case of cable redundancy to the bridge card (both ports of
the desk are wired to both ports of the bridge card in parallel), an Ethernet
switch needs to be placed between Secondary LAN port and bridge card.
From this Ethernet switch, the connections are made to all the other I/O Sha-
ring devices.
In case the I/O Sharing network only consist of two Vista 5 consoles, also
a X-over network cable between both Secondary LAN ports of the two
consoles could be used instead of an Ethernet switch.
Since Vista 6, 7 and 8 are not equipped with a second network port per
default, an Ethernet switch needs to be used. In the case of a Vista 8 with a
redundant control system it is recommended to connect the Ethernet switch
between the network port of the main control system and the bridge card of
the SCoreLive. The network port of the redundant control system would then
still be connected straight to the second port of the bridge card.
The IP addresses of the SCore Live bridge cards should not be changed. They
are always set to 192.168.1.60 for the primary network port, and to 192.168.2.60
for the secondary network port.
Note:
In case of a network design where more than one Vista console communicates
with its SCore through one and the same Ethernet switch, the IP addresses
may be changed as with the OnAir console range. But then the Vista's
D950System.ini files need to be adapted accordingly.
All systems being part of the network that can exchange audio via tie lines
must be properly synchronized. The best option to do this is having a Studer
D21 MasterSync unit feeding word clock in a star configuration to all the
systems involved.
If a single system cannot be synchronized, either AES/EBU cards with SFCs
or analog cards have to be used for tie lines.
