VistaMax system. To use Net-Only modules, the
BMX
digital
console must have the optional Net
Card installed, and it must be connected to a Vis-
taMax system.
Although the same type of VistaMax direct rout-
ing can be done using standard input modules, if
no in-room audio connection is required on a mod-
ule, then a less-expensive Net-Only input module
can be used in lieu of any standard module.
There are two types of Net-Only modules: full-
featured and limited feature (without Send and
Utility bus controls) available for each type of in-
put module (Universal Input, Telco, and RLS).
Net-Only Module Operation
Net-Only modules look identical to, and func-
tion the same as, standard modules—at least as
far as the operator is concerned. They have the
same controls as the standard modules. It is only
when the meter panel is opened up that any dif-
ferences can be seen.
Net-Only modules do not have audio or logic
connections and only have one set of DIP switches
on them (as shown to the right). Their inputs can
only be a VistaMax source. But, that input can be
controlled by the console logic, if set to do so in
the Session file. Likewise, the logic from the source
signal can be set to control the module (e.g., con-
trol the Off lamp and turn the module on or off).
Net-Only Module Installation
Net-Only modules can be placed into any input
module position. The only limitation is on Telco
modules: there can only be six Telco modules in a
frame (regardless of what type of Telco module—
standard or Net-Only, full-featured or limited fea-
ture set, is installed).
Both the Telco and RLS Net-Only modules are
automatically setup as “switchers”—controlling a
single destination on the VistaMax system. Input

Telco RLS
module is made by a Session file setting. The Net-
Only Telco and RLS modules also have Session-
specific settings (the destination they are assigned
to, a source include list, a source exclude list, etc.).
Refer to Chapter 4: Server or to the VistaMax
manual (Harris # 75-52) for additional informa-
tion on VistaMax source selection.
The eight DIP switches on Net-Only modules
have different settings than on standard modules.
Net-Only Module Switch Definition tables are on
page 2-66. On Net-Only Universal Input modules,
mute locations can be automatically set following
the VistaMax Room Code. If Room Code is not
used, then the mute location is set using the mute
location DIP switches. On the Net-Only RLS mod-
ules the switches are not active. On the Net-Only
Telco the switches set the Telco ID number and
set whether the Off-line and Record source is pre
or post fader.
