    Section Installation and Initial Setup Introduction The Prelude control system does not use dedicated controller hardware, which reduces system costs. Instead, control panels communicate directly with the Matrix frame(s) via Ethernet. To accomplish this, compatible hard- ware and software must be installed and the components need to be prop- erly connected.

    Router configuration files can be backed up by saving the Route_Config folder under a new name in a secure location (perhaps a removable memory stick). The folder is located at: C:\Program Files\Grass Valley Group\ Prelude_Install_Directory\Route_Config To regain access to the router configuration files after a Prelude 2.0 down- grade, rename existing folder with that name, copy the backed up folder to that location and restore its original Route_Config file name.

    Section 2 — Installation and Initial Setup Update Any Older Software If any older versions of software were found the devices need to be updated, using the following procedure. 1. With the latest version of Prelude software and NetConfig installed on the PC configured for the Prelude network, run NetConfig and click on toolbar button.

  • Page 33: System Identifier

    Software Installation and Network Configuration System Identifier If your Prelude system must run on a network shared by an Encore system or other separate Prelude or Acappella systems, you can isolate them from one another by assigning different ports for each system. This can be accomplished using the controls on the Network Configura- System Identifier...

  • Page 34: System Identifier For Control Panels On A Shared Network

    Section 2 — Installation and Initial Setup reports the actual port that will be used by the Matrix Control Port Number device. For example, if you wish to run a Prelude system on the same network as an Encore system, you can choose button (port 6051) for the Acappella and/or Concerto frames and all the control panels used by Pre- lude.

    Create Router Configuration Create Router Configuration On a new Prelude system, with all the devices present on the network, loaded with the latest software, you can now configure the Prelude system to make it operational. Sample Configuration Files Sample configuration files are included on the software CD. These files can be used to learn about Prelude configuration, or as a starting point for cre- ating a new configuration.

  • Page 37 Create Router Configuration 7. If you configure the levels by dragging the board icons, you do not need to deal with Matrix numbers. They are entered automatically. However, if you enter level configuration data manually the matrix number has to be specified correctly. The rule is to use the lowest slot number of all the boards being used for that level.

  • Page 40 Section 2 — Installation and Initial Setup 12. You can similarly assign Source connectors to the named Sources by entering the first number in each column then fill the series (Figure 18). If you divided a board into two levels, the connector numbers for the added level will typically start with the next higher connector on that board.
