Graphical Remote Control for RedNet Systems

RedNet Control provides remote control and related functionality for the RedNet

range of Dante-based audio-over-IP systems. The latest version, RedNet Control 2,

has been completely revised, with a new tabbed browser-like graphic user interface

and the ability to handle up to 600 RedNet devices and up to 96 channel of mic pre

on one screen.

Based around a web-browser-like tabbed graphical interface, RedNet Control 2

is designed to handle any RedNet system, from just a few units up to an impressive

maximum of 600 devices. The system allows for improved device monitoring,

metering and control over all device parameters. Available system components are

displayed graphically, and can be dragged and dropped from a sidebar list into

a customisable setup. Each of up to 50 tabs can display up to 12 devices in a grid

based layout. Devices can be grouped logically and intuitively on each tab. A tab

can represent one area of a multi-location system, for example.

Key Features

• Ideal for controlling large and

multi-location systems

• Supports up to 600 RedNet devices

and up to 96 channels of RedNet

mic pre on one screen

• Completely revised tabbed

browser-like user interface

• Remote control of all RedNet

devices on the network

• Channel-by-channel metering of

audio levels

In education, post production, live entertainment or sports broadcasting, RedNet

systems incorporating hundreds, or even thousands of signals are now simpler and

easier to manage. Live Sound workflows can be streamlined by separating units

into different areas, and the management of extremely large systems – such as an

educational establishment with multiple performance or recording areas spread

across a campus or beyond – is now significantly easier than before. RedNet

Control 2 represents a major improvement to the system’s flexibility and ease of use.

• Remote control of all mic

pre parameters

• MIDI bridging for mic pre control

• Mic pre snapshot save and recall

• Session setup save and recall

The layout is unique to each workstation, so each operator can have their own

custom view of network devices. Alternatively, the layout save/load feature allows

the same set of views to be deployed at every location, or to have an array of preset

views for different scenarios.

The inclusion of various key-command shortcuts allows the user to quickly navigate

even the largest array of devices. Meanwhile, clipping channels can be identified

immediately, even on devices that are out of view. Devices in the Device List sidebar

turn red in the event of a clip, and double-clicking on the device will automatically

bring that device’s tab into focus, allowing the operator to quickly rectify the

situation. RedNet Control 2 indicates Dante Device Lockout status, which prevents

fundamental changes to a device from being carried out unless the device is

unlocked. A padlock is shown on the graphic representation of the device when

Dante Device Lockout is enabled: status is set or cleared from within

Dante Controller.

Individual devices in the Device List sidebar are displayed in italics when they

have been assigned to a tab. Right-clicking a device enables it to be identified and

renamed. The Device List can be filtered to display only devices that meet certain

criteria – such as sample rate, or devices that are not currently in a tab. The Device

List is also searchable.

• Displays device Dante

Lockout status

• Automatic firmware updater

• Shortcuts allowing for a much

faster workflow

Tabs in the main screen area can contain either 12 or six devices depending on the

level of detail required. New devices can be added to a tab by dragging from the

device sidebar and dropping, and when released they can fill an empty grid slot,

replace the existing device in the tab or move devices to the right. Alternatively, the

system can populate tabs automatically with devices in the Device List. The Filter

and Search tools provide additional control whilst maintaining a rapid setup speed.

Improved sample rate management makes it easy to configure the largest system.

Sample rates can be set on a per-tab basis, allowing different rooms to operate

at different rates, and it’s possible to automate sample rate changes of entire tabs

based on the detected change of one device. This can be particularly useful when

working with a DAW which automatically changes rate on the loading of

a new session.

RedNet Control 2 is available now as a free upgrade for all RedNet users.
