    SB i16 and SB 8.8 User Guide Status LEDs and User Buttons Green (solid) - normal operation: processor running ATT (Attention) allows a user to ‘push’ attention (for and Dante networks connected the already selected channel) to the software control application for swift identification of inputs or outputs.

  • Page 6: Hardware Connections

    Hardware Connections Mains Power Connections SB i16 and SB 8.8 include redundant PSUs with IEC C14 inlets. Either supply can individually power the unit. Ideally these should be connected to separate power circuits to provide redundancy of incoming AC power.

    SB i16 and SB 8.8 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 13: Devices View

    SB i16 and SB 8.8 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 14: 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 i16 and SB 8.8. The mute state is stored in volatile...

  • Page 17: Gain Compensation

    SB i16 and SB 8.8 User Guide Gain Compensation Each stagebox mic/line input has two transmit channels that can be subscribed to from the Dante network. Main channels follow the mic gain as set by the controller. Compensated channels nullify mic gain changes by applying a digital trim offset which is the opposite of any analogue gain changes.

  • Page 18: Calibration Point

    SB i16 and SB 8.8 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.

  • Page 19: Pad

    SB i16 and SB 8.8 User Guide The SB i16 and SB 8.8 have two pad modes, Traditional and AutoPad. The pad mode is selected per stagebox (applied to all inputs) from the SETUP tab of the stagebox within Network I/O Controller.
