Overview; Front Panel Controls - Cadac C Series Hardware Overview

Overview

The Cadac CM-DT64 unit is used as part of a larger audio system made up of multiple units: digital
mixing console(s) and remote MegaCOMMS I/O device(s). The CM-DT64 is an audio network bridge
enabling Dante units to be incorporated within Cadac's MegaCOMMS audio network.
NOTE: Due to an update to the unit's firmware, a number of front panel hardware controls are no longer
functional as the configuration of the unit is done via the Dante Controller software. This now simplifies
the set-up of the unit.

Front Panel Controls

The front panel is divided in four operational areas:
1
1. MegaCOMMS Ports: MegaCOMMS audio interconnections available on two pairs of redundant
BNC connections.
2. Dante Ports: Two Dante network ports A and B, each with a primary and secondary
connection.
3. Dip Switch/ Word Clock: The configuration of the unit is now set via the Dante Controller
software; the Dip switches no longer have any effect on the unit's configuration. Word clock IN is
also no longer is active, however, Word clock OUT is still functional.
4. Hex Switch, Power Switch and Ethernet: The Hex switch sets the unit's rack number when
connecting to a Cadac console. A front power button to power up the unit and an Ethernet port
for firmware updates.
