Hardware - Local I/O; Main I/O Slots - SoundCraft Vi3000 User Manual

®
Most of the Vi3000 local I/O is located on the rear panel of the console. The main I/O slots have a variety of possible
configurations, inlcuding digital (AES) and analogue input and output cards. However, the monitor / masters output
section cannot be changed - this contains the fixed-routing Monitor A and Monitor B outputs, plus the master LCR
analogue outputs.
There are also user-configurable D21m IO expansion slots that can accept any of the available Soundcraft D21m com-
patible I/O cards. Options for these include MADI (Optical or CAT 5), ADAT, Blu Link, Aviom, Ethersound, Cobranet,
Line in, line out, AES/EBU, and mic in. The D21m IO Expansion slots are also used for connecting a Soundcraft
Stagebox.
Fixed I/O on the rear panel includes all data/digital connections such as MIDI, USB, HiQnet, AES I/O, DANTE, MADI,
Word Clock, and DVI Out, plus the dual redundant power supply connections.
There are also two 12v lamp connections.
The control surface of the console features two additional USB sockets and a talkback microphone XLR connection.
