Standard Components
In its standard configuration, the Light Viper 4832 system is comprised of the following primary components.
The Stage Box (VIS-4832) — This is the box placed close to all the inputs on stage. It is a 1U rack mount device
that accepts (32)AES digital inputs (sends) and (8) AES digital plus (8) analog line level outputs (returns).
The Mixer Box (VIM-1832) — This unit contains (32) simultaneous AES digital and analog line level outputs
(sends) and (8) AES digital or (8) analog line level inputs (returns). The unit should be mounted in a rack close to
the primary (FOH) mixing console
The Fiber Cable (TFC-0000-04) — The lightweight "tactical grade" fiber 'cable' that carries the digital signal
between the stage and mixer boxes. For installation use, either PVC or Plenum rated fiber is recommended (VFC-
0000-D, VFC-0000-DP).
TAC-4 Connector Panels – (VPL-11, VPL-12, VPL-13) – These 1U rack panels contain (1), (2), or (3) panel mount
TAC-4 connectors mounted respectively and allow connection between tactical grade fiber to the ST connectors
on the VIM units.
Send / Return Cables (VCB-ADXM, VCB-ADXF) — These cables connect the Mixer Box to the analog
inputs/outputs of your mixer. If you are connecting to a Yamaha digital console through the Yamaha "Y" cards,
you would use VCB-DDMY and VCB-DDMYIO cables. A variety of cables to connect to other digital consoles and
devices are also available.
Optional Components
Additional components can be added to the Light Viper 4832 for increased functionality.
VIM-MY32 Cards — The VIM-MY32 can replace the VIM-1832 primary connection or a VIM-1032 on a split
connection. The VIM-MY32 card set is designed to be installed directly into a Yamaha console capable of
accepting YGDAI cards.
Additional Send Box(es) (VIM-1032) – The VIM-1032 is similar to the VIM-1832 mixer box in that it provides a
parallel set of the snake's 32 input channels, via an additional Fiber Cable, in applications where you need splits –
for recording, broadcast, or monitor mixing. The VIS-4832 Stage Box can be fit with two "split" connectors for a
total of three (1 VIM-1832 (Primary) + 2 VIM-1032 (splits) outputs.
Additional Analog Fan Out Cable(s) (VCB-ADXM / VCB-ADXF) – These fan out cables are necessary for connecting
additional mixer boxes (VIM-1832 and VIM-1032) to your analog equipment. You need (4) VCB-ADXM for each
VIM-1832 or VIM-1032 mixer boxes in the system. The VIM-1832 also requires (1) VCB-ADXF (female) fan out to
access the returns.
Additional Digital Cables – To connect AES digital directly into a Yamaha PM5D, DM2000, DM 1000 or M7, you
need (2) optional cables for each 32x8 system. (1) DDMY and (1) DDMYIO will allow a 32x8 connection into the
Yamaha MY16AE cards. Optional cables are available to interface with Pro Tools and other types of devices and
various connector configurations.
Ethernet Control – Add the optional ETH-1832 (pair) option to any Stage / FOH path, and control a variety of
Ethernet based gear on stage from the FOH position.
Additional Fiber Cable(s) – For live production, TFC-0000-04 tactical grade fiber with TAC-4 Connector
terminations is required between the stage box (VIS-1832) and all mixer boxes. For installations where the fiber
will be pulled through conduit, either VFC-0000-D (PVC fiber) or VFC-0000-DP (Plenum rated fiber) with ST
connector terminations is recommended. There is also an option for a "Pulling Eye" which can be specified by
adding an "PE" to the part numbers above. This option includes a strain relief and pulling eye on one end of the
fiber optic cable.
TAC-4 and OpticalCon connectors can also be fit directly on the chassis of the VIS-4832, VIM-1832 and VIM-1032,
in applications such as these, rack ears and VPL panels are not required.
