SW V3.0
6.5.20.1 Distributed Control
Starting with SW V2.1, the distributed control feature has been introduced for
the Fader Start, On Master, Locate, and Ready control functions. This allows
using a GP output or input on a Net Producer system as a control output or
input for one or several Net Consumer system(s) without additional wiring.
In the example shown above, a playback source such as a CD player has its
fader start control input connected to one of the GPOs of Net Producer System
A, and its audio output is connected to Logical Input A1 of System A.
Net Consumer System B can access the same audio signal on its Logical
Input B5. If the corresponding channel on System B is on and this channel’s
fader is open, the fader start command is sent to Logical Input A1 of System
A, where it is OR-linked with System A’s internal fader start command. The
fader start command goes to the CD player, regardless whether it has been
generated by System A (to which the CD player is directly connected), by the
remote System B, or by any other remote system connected to the same I/O
sharing network and consuming the Logical Input A1 of System A.
Note: There exists a second fader start function “with PFL” – where in each channel
is an additional OR link; in this case, the fader start output is active if Fader
Start is active or if PFL is active, or both.
The same applies for all functions listed below:
