Configuration DIP Switches (see Section Using the Rear Panel Configuration DIP switches) Mini-Phoenix Connectors: Balanced Audio in and out connections (4 or 8 channels, in and out). The Revolabs Executive HD ™ Base Station is designed to be installed into a standard 19” AV rack using the attached rack ears.
Using Multiple Revolabs Executive HD Systems Together If more than one Revolabs Executive HD ™ Base Station is used in an area, each unit needs to be interconnected with a synchronization (BUS) cable using a standard 3.5mm mini-Phoenix connector and any 26AWG or better, shielded cable. The maximum distance from the Primary unit to any Secondary device must not exceed 300’...

Japan is 16 channels (High Definition mode) or 32 channels (Max Density mode). The maximum number of channels within a 300’ (90 meter) radius for a EU or CN frequency system is 24 channels (High Definition mode) or 40 channels (Max Density mode). (See Section Using the Revolabs HD Control Panel Software)
Each Revolabs Executive HD Base Station comes standard with the HD Control Panel, which includes a limited group of controls and features. The Revolabs HD Gold Control Panel requires a 16 digit ‘unlock code’ to access the additional features and functionality for each Executive HD Base Station.

Revolabs Service Plan at the time of the system purchase, or may be purchased separately for each system. The Revolabs HD Control Panel can operate with either a locked or unlocked Executive HD Base Station. When the HD Control panel is connected to an unlocked Executive HD Base Station, the Gold features will then appear on the screen and be controllable by the user.

Note: If the ‘Equipment List’ does not appear after a network scan has been performed, no devices or network connections were found or the connection is not configured correctly. System - Set Box Name: A Box Name may be assigned as a Network ID for each device. This name will be displayed both on the front screen of the Base Station along with the IP address and on the device tab in the HD Control Panel Software.

Executive HD Systems are field upgradable for the firmware portion of the Base Station and Microphones. The firmware must be sent to both the Base station and Microphones using the HD Control Panel program.

Redundancy allows the HD base station to use back channels to mitigate interference and prevent 3 party wireless RF from interfering with the Revolabs system. Turning off Redundancy will reduce the audio latency by 5ms but will render the system susceptible to RF interference when 3 party wireless RF devices, operating in the same RF band, are present.

Monitor – Microphone Lock:* Each microphone has individual lock capabilities. By turning on the lock for a specific microphone, the microphone mute button will deactivate leaving the user without the ability to individually control the microphones mute status at the microphone. However, the HD Control Panel Software, as well as any connected Serial Control Processor, will still have the ability to control and monitor all locked microphones.
The Serial Control Processor allows the use of a third party control system or DSP to monitor and/or control the Executive HD Base Station and Microphones. The Executive HD Base Station must be configured for the correct “Serial Control Processor” using the Revolabs HD Control Panel software. DB9 Pin-out:...
