Connecting the Vi2 Surface
The Vi2 Control Surface must be connected to a standard Vi4/6 Local Rack and Stagebox system in order
to mix audio. These may have been purchased with the Vi2 surface or the surface may have been pur-
chased on its own to be used with existing Racks.
In either case, Vi4/6 Racks have no knowledge of which kind of surface is attached, so there is no spe-
cial setup required when an existing Vi4/6 rack is used with a Vi2 Surface – simply connect up as shown
below.
