This does not clear Dante Brooklyn card settings. Brooklyn Reset Resetting the Dante Brooklyn card to default settings is performed from Dante Controller. Under the Device Config tab for a device select Clear Config. -
Page 9: Hardware Connections
GB/SFP shows Ethernet/SFP network status The SB 32.24 and SB 16.12 have two sets of redundant network connections. These can be configured in two different modes: In the first mode, the A and B networks are linked internally (A+B Network Link LED is on). In this mode both Network A and Network B are identical and output both the gain-dependant and gain- compensated audio. -

I/O devices sending/receiving signals directly to/from the SB 32.24 or SB 16.12. Typically the master console will have control of the stagebox inputs. Additional consoles or I/O devices can subscribe to either the uncompensated or gain-compensated splits depending on the usage requirements and network link configuration. - Page 11 SB 32.24 and SB 16.12 User Guide Gain-Dependant Source and Gain-Compensated Splits Available to Two Consoles (SFPs Fitted) In this example, FOH and monitor consoles are Uncompensated both connected to the stagebox directly, using Gain Compensated Splits Main Audio (+Control) Network A (etherCON) and Network B (SFP) connections respectively.

Page 12: Network B Sample Rate Converter (Src)
SB 32.24 and SB 16.12 User Guide Network B Sample Rate Converter (SRC) A Sample Rate Converter (SRC) is available on the Network B Dante ports, allowing the gain compensated split outputs to run at a different sample rate or in a different clock domain to the main network. -
Page 13: Operation At Different Sample Rates
SB 32.24 running at 44.1 or 48 kHz. An SB 32.24 running at 88.2 or 96 kHz has a maximum of 32 inputs available. The last 8 inputs can either be analogue or AES. This is user-definable on a pair by pair basis directly from System T or Live console software, or using Network I/O Controller as shown in the AES I/O section of this guide. -

This can be downloaded from the SSL website as part of the Network I/O Stagebox upgrade package or as a standalone installer. -
Page 15: Application Navigation
SB 32.24 and SB 16.12 User Guide Application Navigation Network I/O Controller is divided between three tabs: Control, Settings and Devices. These are accessed from the right hand side of the application. The Control view is the main application window, providing real- time control and monitoring of the connected SSL Network I/O devices. -

Page 20: Devices View
SB 32.24 and SB 16.12 User Guide Devices View The Devices tab provides management of the I/O devices displayed in the Control View. Device Filtering allows Network I/O device types to be hidden, both from the Control View and the Control View Filtering and Sorting section. An example use case may be to hide all compensated devices so that the Control View only shows the gain tracked signals, not the compensated split feeds. -
Page 21: Ownership
Note that multiple consoles can share the same input signal but only one device can control the input parameters. Altering the input settings will affect all consoles using the input. N.B. Ownership settings are stored on the SB 32.24 and SB 16.12. The mute state is stored in... -

Page 23: Gain Compensation
When connected to an SSL console or the Network I/O Controller app the main and compensated channels show as two separate devices. The visibility of main and compensated channels for an SB 32.24 or SB 16.12 will depend on the network A and B link state, as detailed in Dante Connection Examples. -
Page 24: Calibration Point
SB 32.24 and SB 16.12 User Guide Calibration Point The Calibration point is the value at which the analogue gain equals a digital trim value of 0 dB, i.e. there is no digital trim applied. Digital trim will be applied when the analogue gain level is above or below the Calibration point. -
