Standard Components - LightViper VIS-1832 User Manual

Standard Components

In its standard configuration, the Light Viper 1832 is made up of the following primary
components.
• The Stage Box (VIS-1832) — This is the box placed close to all the inputs. It can be
placed on the stage or rack mounted with the optional VER-1832 rack ears.
• The Mixer Box (VIM-1832) — The unit should be mounted in a rack close to the
primary (FOH) mixing console
• The Fiber Cable (TFC-0000-04) — The lightweight "tactical grade" fiber 'cable' that
carries the digital signal between the stage and mixer boxes. For installation use, either
PVC or Plenum rated fiber is recommended (VFC-0000-D, VFC-0000-DP).
• TAC-4 Connector Panels – (VPL-11, VPL-12, VPL-13) – These 1U rack panels contain
(1), (2), or (3) panel mount TAC-4 connectors mounted respectively and allow
connection between tactical grade fiber to the ST connectors on the VIM units.
• Rack Ears – (VER-1832-T1, T2 or T3) These rack mount kits for the VIS-1832 have 1, 2 or
3 panel mount TAC-4 connectors mounted respectively and allow connection between
tactical grade fiber to the ST connectors on the VIS units. See page 20 for more
information.
• Send / Return Cables (VCB-ADXM, VCB-ADXF) — These cables connect the Mixer Box
to the analog inputs/outputs of your mixer. If you are connecting to a Yamaha digital
console through the Yamaha "Y" cards, you would use VCB-DDMY and VCB-DDMYIO
cables. A variety of cables to connect to other digital consoles and devices are also
available.
Optional Components
Additional components can be added to the Light Viper 1832 for increased functionality.
• Additional Send Box(es) (VIM-1032) – The VIM-1032 is similar to the VIM-1832 mixer box in
that it provides a parallel set of the snake's 32 input channels, via an additional Fiber Cable, in
applications where you need splits – for recording, broadcast, or monitor mixing. The VIS-
1832 Stage Box can be fit with two "split" connectors for a total of three (1 VIM-1832 (Primary)
+ 2 VIM-1032 (splits) outputs.
• Additional Analog Fan Out Cable(s) (VCB-ADXM / VCB-ADXF) – These fan out cables are
necessary for connecting additional mixer boxes (VIS-1832 and VIS-1032) to your analog
equipment. You need (4) VCB-ADXM for each VIM-1832 or VIM-1032 mixer boxes in the
system. The VIM-1832 also requires (1) VCB-ADXF (female) fan out to access the returns.
• Additional Digital Cables – To connect AES digital directly into a Yamaha PM5D, DM2000,
DM 1000 or M7, you need (2) optional cables for each 32x8 system. (1) DDMY and (1) DDMYIO
will allow a 32x8 connection into the Yamaha MY16AE cards. Optional cables are available to
interface with Pro Tools and other types of devices and various connector configurations.
• Ethernet Control – Add the optional ETH-1832 (pair) option to any Stage / FOH path, and
control a variety of Ethernet based gear on stage from the FOH position.
• Additional Fiber Cable(s) – For live production, TFC-0000-04 tactical grade fiber with TAC-4
Connector terminations is required between the stage box (VIS-1832) and all mixer boxes
(VIS-1832 and VIS-1032). For installations where the fiber will be pulled through conduit, either
VFC-0000-D (PVC fiber) or VFC-0000-DP (Plenum rated fiber) with ST connector terminations is
recommended. There is also an option for a "Pulling Eye" which can be specified by adding an
"E" to the part numbers above (VFC-0000-DE; VFC-0000-DPE). This option includes a strain
relief and pulling eye on one end of the fiber optic cable.
• Stage Box Mounting Hardware – The optional VER-1832 rack mount can be utilized in
applications where the stagebox (VIS-1832) will be rack mounted. The VER-1832-T1, T2 and T3
rack mount kits include panel mount TAC-4 connectors in quantities of 1, 2, and 3 respectively.
The rack ears can also be fit with Neutrik "OpticalCon" panel mount connectors. The part
numbers are VER-1832-T1-OC, T2-OC, and T3-OC respectively.
• TAC-4 and OpticalCon connectors can also be fit directly on the chassis of the VIS-1832, VIM-
1832 and VIM-1032, in applications such as these, rack ears and VPL panels are not required.
