Page 7: Aes/Ebu Pinout Information
AES/EBU Pinout Information Neutrino-D models with AES/EBU digital audio use a DB-25 connector with the original TASCAM protocol. The pinout details are as follows: AES/EBU DB-25 to DB-25 connections require a different pinout in the cable. AES/EBU must ip the connections so that pins 12, 24 and 25 will wind up on the other end of the cable at pins 6, 18 and 19 respectively. -
Page 8: Device Connectivity
Device Connectivity Xilica processors and control devices run on a network based infrastructure and are set up and controlled by a host computer using the Xilica Designer software. What’s in the Box • Neutrino hardware device • 90-240 VAC 50-60Hz power cable • 3.5mm Phoenix/Euro type terminal block connectors What you need to Provide • Computer • Network interface (Router, PoE switch) A router is used for IP assignment and easy connectivity to computer and control devices. - Page 9 A) Connecting using a DHCP enabled router/server Note: DHCP enabled Router/switch gear should be turned on first, with all Ethernet cables connected to the hardware prior to Powering ON the hardware. This will allow for proper IP address distribution to the Hardware. First, Power ON the router/switch gear.

Page 13: Firmware Upgrade
At times you may just see an exclamation mark (!). This indicates that a firmware upgrade is available. Normally this is not an issue unless there are updated modules in the project file that the outdated firmware does not support. Firmware Upgrade Please note that using an older version of software with a newer firmware or newer software with an older firmware will work but some of the features may not be available and bugs could exist. - Page 14 Firmware Upgrade Procedure: Save any design files from the device onto your computer as all programmed data on the device will be erased during the upgrade process. After the firmware upgrade is completed, the design file can be loaded back into your device. The device must be online and operational (green ON indicator) to perform a firmware upgrade.
- Page 15 Navigate to the file in which you downloaded the new Firmware file. Click Open. A status bar in the device window will monitor the Firmware upgrade progress. Once the Firmware file has been loaded to the device, the device will automatically restart and update its internal data.

This will create a project with your processor. Blank project Alternatively, click File >... -
Page 17: Create A Design
Create a Design For the example, a single DSP hardware block will be used, but a design can be done with multiple DSP hardware items. Projects can be designed Offline (no devices connected) and the design can be loaded to your devices at a later time. - Page 18 Double click the DSP module to open the design schematic. Resize the window by dragging the corner of the window. To space out your work area, click & drag a selection box around the output modules and use the cursor arrows or mouse to move the modules to the right. When this window is selected, the Component Library menu displays a variety of DSP modules.
- Page 19 Click and drag a DSP module into the device schematic window. In the example, a PEQ was added. In the Object Property menu, you can customize the module. For the PEQ module, up to 8 bands are available. Double click the DSP module to open it. In the PEQ module, the number of bands determined in the object property menu is reflected in the DSP module.
- Page 20 Drag & drop more DSP modules, then wire them accordingly. Processing chains and objects can be easily duplicated by selecting the desired object(s), Ctrl + C to copy, then Ctrl + V to paste the items. When drawing wires, they may overlap and be difficult to read. To move wires, click &...
- Page 21 To save your project, click File > Save As. Save the file to a memorable location. If a project file is already created, click File > Save. You can also save using the save icon at the top right of the work area. It is recommended to back up project files to an external location.
