Applications Some typical functions controlled by an 52/RX Mixing Console are: · Input routing, input processing, microphone processing and bus assignment. · Monitoring, talkback, signalling and On Air switching. · Providing clean feed/mix-minus signals and output routing. · Recalling and saving user-defined setup data for single channels and overall mixer snapshots. Version 1.1.0 - 12.07.2010 Specifications and design are subject to change without notice.
DHD network and to block non-authorised access to the connected DHD systems. The middle connector of the three RJ45 jacks needs to be connected to a switch of the DHD network. Because the controllers and the control modules are power supplied by the Ethernet connection (Power over Ethernet), you have to integrate at least one power over Ethernet switch (PoE switch) into the controller network.

The following example shows a possible combination of modules for a network with two 52/RX consoles and it should explain the Ethernet wiring of this application. Please use CAT5 cables continuous for wiring. But DHD recommends to use CAT6 cables for longer distances.
· Will you need more than one mixing system? If yes, how will they be networked with each other? With the help of this list DHD and its partners will be able to select the right hardware modules and the matching software configuration for your application.

Principle of Operation Control Modules (52/RX) The control modules are the interface between the user and the functions of the mixing system. Different control modules are available, each of them providing its own set of features. Moreover, you can integrate TFT screens into your setup. These TFT displays are not only able to show information.
· The needed power of the DHD components from 10W to 15W per port that is connected with a PoE end device, is often not provided for a larger number of ports. That especially applies to low cost devices.
