8. PRIMARY – DigiLink connector; use a standard Pro Tools I/O cable to link this to a port on the
Pro Tools|HD/HDX/HD Native PCIe card, using the supplied DigiLink-to-Mini DigiLink adaptor
cable if necessary.
9. EXPANSION – this can be used when RedNet 5 is operated in Expansion Mode to connect to
another Pro Tools|HD I/O interface. In this mode, the RedNet 5 provides only 16 channels of
I/O (16 in, 16 out) instead of 32.
10. WORD CLOCK IN – a BNC socket for the connection of a dedicated wordclock sync signal,
typically derived from a studio master clock source used to sync all the interconnected digital
audio units in the system.
11. WORD CLOCK OUT – a BNC socket from which a wordclock signal may be obtained for
connection to other digital audio devices outside the RedNet network. The clock signal
available here will be derived from the source selected in software, and may be at the sample
rate in use, or at the 'base' sample rate of 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz.
12. LOOP SYNC IN and OUT– two BNC sockets which should be used for sync interconnection
when standard Pro Tools I/O units also form part of the system. Connect the LOOP SYNC OUT
of one RedNet 5 unit to the LOOP SYNC IN of a Pro Tools|HD I/O interface, in a standard daisy-
chain manner. See page 40 for further LOOP SYNC connection details.
13. ETHERNET – RJ45 network socket. Use a Cat5e or Cat6 network cable to connect this socket
to a local Ethernet switch to connect the RedNet 5 to the RedNet network. The socket has
integral LEDs which illuminate to indicate connection to an active network port, and network
activity. See page 40 for connector details.
14. AC mains inlet –standard IEC receptacle for connection of AC mains. RedNet 5 has a 'Universal'
PSU, enabling it to operate from any supply voltages between 100 V and 240 V.
