digico D5T - B.2.3 DiGiConfig - Hardware Configuration

B-8
Appendix B
Optical connections should be:
Stage Rack 1 Opto A to Stage Rack 2 Opto B.
Stage Rack 2 Opto A to Redundant Engine Opto B.
Redundant Engine Opto A to Main Console Opto B.
Main Console Opto A back to Stage Rack Opto B if a Redundant Optical Loop is required.
MADI connections with the Local Racks should be:
Main Console MADI 2 OUT to Local Rack MADI A IN.
Main Console MADI 2 IN to Local Rack MADI A OUT.
Redundant Engine MADI 2 OUT to Local Rack MADI B IN.
Redundant Engine MADI 2 IN to Local Rack MADI B OUT.
The Redundant Engine has ports on its rear panel for the supplied trackball and keyboard and a monitor should be connected to the
expanded VGA output on the rear panel to view the required screen. In normal operation the Master screen would be required to fire
Snapshots (Cues) but the Overview screen could also be connected to make fader adjustments etc.
The ideal solution would be to fit a multiple port video switcher that would enable easy access to any of the Input, Master or Overview
screens.
B.2.3 DiGiConfig – Hardware Configuration ..............................
NOTE: The Main console and the Redundant Engine must both be running the same version of software.
When the system is connected and switched on the DiGiConfig Program should be run on all of the devices in the system by pressing the
Configure Hardware button in the System/Service menu.
The example below shows the settings for a system with a Main Front of House console and its Redundant Engine, a Monitor console and
its Redundant Engine and a Remote Controlller or Theatre Controller for the Front of House console.
All the devices should have all of the components of the system selected but the “THIS ONE?” button should be selected according to
which device you are setting up.
If you wish to view or customise the settings, press the Edit Details button and a panel will open showing all the relevant details.
Unless you are troubleshooting the system, this should not be necessary and you should simply press the OK button to return to the
console application itself.
