The following options can be added to a D-Show Profile sys-
tem. For details on D-Show expansion and customization op-
tions, visit the Digidesign website (www.digidesign.com).
Stage Rack Options
Expanded Stage Rack I/O Each Stage Rack can be expanded
up to 6 input cards and 6 output cards, for a total of up to 48
inputs and up to 48 outputs (analog or digital).
Additional Stage Rack A second Stage Rack can be added for a
total of up to 96 inputs or up to 96 outputs. (A second Stage
Rack requires an additional Snake card be installed in the FOH
Rack.)
Redundant Digital Snake An optional redundant Digital Snake
cable can be run between the FOH Rack and each Stage Rack.
This redundant Snake automatically takes over communica-
tion if the primary Snake fails.
FOH Rack Options
Mix Engine Cards Additional Mix Engine cards can be added
to the FOH Rack (up to a maximum of 5 Mix Engine cards) for
increased mixer and plug-in processing capacity.
FOH IOx Card An FOH Input/Output (IOx) card can be added
to the FOH Rack, providing an additional 8 channels of analog
I/O and 8 channels of AES/EBU Digital I/O for connecting out-
board equipment.
Snake Card If a second Stage Rack is added, an additional
Snake card is required in the FOH Rack. This additional Snake
card supports the connection of a redundant Digital Snake ca-
ble to the second Stage Rack.
