Extended Control Surface Connections - Calrec Artemis Installation And Technical Manual

EXTENDED CONTROL SURFACE CONNECTIONS

In addition to sidecars, console
chassis can also be split using
extended control surfaces.
This can be to allow multiple operators
the comfort of more space, to create a
'wrap around' surface for small rooms or
large consoles to bring faders closer, or to
provide control from a different location.
Unlike a sidecar, a control surface
extension is not fitted with its own surface
switches and therefore does not connect
directly to the processing core. Instead,
console extensions connect to the main
control surface via its' surface switches.
Multiple surface extensions can be added,
limited only by the maximum number
of POE's that can be connected to the
surface switches. Surface extensions can
also be used in conjunction with sidecar
surfaces.
Using surface extensions and / or
sidecars in conjunction with user splits
and multiple monitor or headphone
outputs, along with the huge resources
of both input channels and output
buses allows multiple operators to work
independently on a single core system.
Consoles built with the intention of
connecting to extensions will have RJ45s
mounted and labelled in the rear interface
for this purpose. A primary and secondary
data connection between the surface and
the extension are required. A third RJ45–
RJ45 connection, carrying the reset
lines is optional, depending on whether
the extension is fitted with its own reset
button or not.
Screened Cat5e cable should be used
to guarantee performance. These
connections use standard Ethernet pin-
outs and pairings. The reset cable, if used
needs to be a 'straight-through' pin out,
NOT a 'cross-over'.
