Terminator ON
The external monitor is a standard S-VGA colour monitor such as you would use with any PC
and any size may be used.
Of course, to this basic system, you may add analogue and/or digital inputs and outputs for use
with an external mixer.
If you plan to do a lot of naming of recordings and files, an external PC keyboard is
recommended.
All the machines in the system are connected together (and to the RE32) using standard
Ethernet BNC cables. These are chained between the AKNET BNC connectors on each
machine using BNC 'T' connectors to link each cable (in 16-bit DD8s, an Ethernet option board
must be installed).
It is essential that the TERMINATOR switch is switched to the ON position on the first and last
units in the chain. Failure to do so will prevent correct communications and the system will not
work.
NOTE: The AKNET interface used in the Akai DD/DR system is 10-Base-2 Ethernet. There
are certain rules that must be adhered to when setting up the system to ensure reliable
operation:
•
All cables should be 50 ohm impedance.
• There should be a maximum of 185m of cable in the system between the first and last
nodes.
• There should be at least 0.5m of cable between each connection.
