Page 3: Introduction
Introduction Perfect for the control room, the DiGiGrid IOC interface offers a wide range of connectivity options, including two mic/line inputs with broadcast-grade preamps, eight line inputs/outputs, sixteen AES/EBU inputs/outputs, one ADAT 8-channel I/O, and two independently adjustable headphone outputs. DiGiGrid IOC can be used as your primary audio interface, or as an additional I/O expansion to an existing SoundGrid system. -

Page 6: Getting Started
ARDWARE One I/O In this example, one DiGiGrid IOC is connected directly to the SoundGrid host computer using a Cat 5e Ethernet cable or better. This provides plugin processing and/or DAW playback/recording via the SoundGrid ASIO/Core Audio driver. Host computer with SoundGrid application SoundGrid I/O device The host computer’s LAN port that’s connected to the SoundGrid network should be used for SoundGrid only. -
Page 7: Add I/Os
Adding I/O devices not only increases the number of I/O channels, but lets you have separate devices for stage and FOH, or live room and control room. Use a "star" network configuration with a 1GB Ethernet switch to connect SoundGrid devices. Only use switches tested and approved by Waves. Host computer... -

If later you add, remove, or swap a device, Auto-Config will reconfigure your inventory and re-patch. Note that SoundGrid Studio assigns the SoundGrid driver automatically. SuperRack SoundGrid and eMotion LV1 require that the SoundGrid ASIO/Core Audio driver is assigned manually. DiGiGrid IOC / User Guide... -
