1. MegaCOMMS ports: 4 x RG6 BNC connectors - in 2 pairs - carry all audio and control data
between the control surface and other MegaCOMMS devices such as stage racks and
consoles. Each individual port has a signal present LED.
2. Dante Ports: Two Ethernet network ports A and B are available to provide the 64 bi-directional
channel count at 96 kHz (32 input and output channels via each port). Each has a primary and
secondary connection; the secondary connections are for redundant network connections
only. Each A and B port has a signal OK SG-LED. Both Dante cards A and B must be set to
the same Word clock rate - even if only one card is being used.
3. Config: The configuration of the unit is now set via the Dante Controller software. The Dip
switches no longer have any effect on the unit configuration.
4. Rack ID Hex Switch: The hex switch controls the rack address and is set depending on how
the unit is to be connected:
•
Set to '2' when connecting the CM-DT64 to a console, and it is to be used as RACK 1
•
Set to '3' when connecting the CM-DT64 to a console, and it is to be used as RACK 2
NOTE: Always set the rack address while the unit is OFF or restart the unit if changed
while it was ON.
5. POWER: Switches the unit ON / OFF
6. IO FS: Indicates the sample rate (FS) of the inputs and outputs. For more information refer to
the section: Channel Configurations Available *
