1 Introducing NetWave
Product Overview
NetWave is a low-profile, digitally-controlled, VistaMax-compatible audio console that sits on the countertop. Three frame sizes are available, with 8, 16 or 24 channel slots .
Each NetWave operates as a stand-alone con­sole but, for maximum flexibility and usability, can be tied into any VistaMax system (running 500-series code) by installing the optional Link Activation Kit (99-1425). The kit activates the built-in VistaMax Link which, via a single CAT-5e cable, ties the console to a VistaMax or Envo y Hub card to allow any system source (audio signals or audio signals with logic) to be routed to any Net­W a ve channel and to the External Monitor inputs.
The VistaMax Link also sends a number of Net­Wave signals to the VistaMax system including: one input from each channel (either the local ana­log or digital input can be chosen); each program bus output; both mix-minus outputs (which ha ve both a clean feed and an IFB feed); the two chan­nel Telco record output; and the stereo cue bus. These signals can then be routed to an y VistaMax system destination as required.
To further enhance a “Linked” console, an op­tional Dual F ader panel upgrade, the Dual Router Kit (99-1424), is also available. This kit adds in VistaMax source selection ability to both chan­nels on any Dual Fader panel.
The Reflective Displa y , with two stereo bargraph meters (PGM 1 and auxiliary), a clock which can be slaved to an ESE or a SMPTE master clock and an Event Timer, is integrated into the frame behind the control panels. Quad meter displa y kits are available for the NetWave-16 (99-1990-16Q) and for the NetWave-24 (99-1990-24Q) to add dedicated Program 2 and Program 3 meters.
Two 48-volt power supplies are used with Net­Wave consoles: a rack mount supply (99-1205), which is the same one used with VistaMax and
Envoy card frames and RMXd and BMXd con­soles, comes standard with the NetWave-24; while an in-line supply (50-27) comes standard with the NetW av e-8 and 16 frame sizes. A 99-1205 supply can also be used on the smaller NetWave frames.
An optional 90-1995 Power Coupler is avail­able to allow any NetWave console to be redun­dantly powered by coupling in a second matching 48-volt supply.
The NetWave has an all-aluminum chassis, which fully contains all circuit board electronics, for strength and RFI immunity. To ensure silent operation, all NetWave parts (console frame, con­trol panels, console display and power supplies) are convection cooled—meaning no fans, and com­pletely silent operation.
All user audio and logic connections are made from the top rear of the frame. Connector access is via a removable flip-open cover which hides the cabling and connectors during normal operation.

MAIN COMPONENT DESCRIPTIONS
NetWave board operators use three parts: the Dual Fader panels; the Monitor panel; and the Reflective Console Display . Each is cov ered in this section along with descriptions for the other parts making up the console: 48-volt power supplies, the Monitor & Output card, the DSP & I/O card, the VistaMax Link and the optional upgrade kits.
NetWa ve Dual Fader Panels
Each Dual Fader panel has two channel control strips. Each strip has the following features: sepa-
rate channel on and off buttons; a 100mm fader for channel level control; cue on/off button; A and B source selector buttons with a Take button; active source illuminated label; and five bus assignment buttons (four Program and one Offline).
Channel control is digi­tal, so no audio ev er trav­els through the Dual Fader panel. In fact, a Dual Fader panel can be swapped “hot” without af­fecting either channel’s audio performance.
Each Dual F ader panel plugs into a DSP & I/O card using a single red
Dual Fader Panel

CAT-5 cable. Since each DSP & I/O card carries eight audio channels, up to four Dual Fader pan­els are plugged into each DSP & I/O card.
Each Dual F ader channel control strip has two audio inputs and one logic I/O connector associ­ated with it on the DSP & I/O card. Since each channel strip has two possible sources (A and B), which audio input is used for each source is as­signed during console setup . In the standard, non­linked, NetWave console the two possible inputs are the local analog input or the local digital in­put assigned to that channel on the DSP & I/O card. When the NetWave is linked to a VistaMax system, there are three selections per source: the local analog input, the local digital input, or a routed VistaMax source.
The operating parameters for each source, on each channel, are independently set during con­sole setup through a common group of setup but­tons and LEDs on each DSP & I/O card (shown in the illustration on the previous page). These controls set the parameters used when the A and the B source is selected. The parameters include: input type (is the input a control room mic, a stu­dio mic, a line input or a Telco input?); whether logic is be associated with that input; whether the event timer is reset at channel on; whether fader start is active; etc. The parameter settings are stored in nonvolatile RAM.
The channel strip’s A and B select buttons are used along with the Take button to choose the active source for that channel. W hen the A source is active, yellow LEDs backlight the A source la­bel under a smoked polycarbonate window above the A button, and the A button is lit. When the B source is active, red LEDs backlight the B source label above the fader and the B button is lit.
Setting a channel source to use the logic I/O means the channel can remotely control a periph­eral device (mic control panel, CD player, com­puter playback system, etc.) and that peripheral
can also control the channel. The logic I/O pro­vides fully independent parallel logic functions that: outputs start and stop pulses to line devices (on and off tallies to mic panels); receives channel on, off, cue and reset/ready commands from line devices (on, off, cough and talkback commands from mic panels).
Dual Router Channels
The optional Dual Router Kit changes the A/B selector buttons on both channels of any Dual Fader panel into VistaMax source selector Up/ Down buttons. To use this functionality, the console’s VistaMax Link must be active.
Dual Fader panels that have the Dual Router Kit installed are easily identified by the two 10­character signal name displays under the top half of the smoked polycarbonate lens above the fader . The display normally shows the name of the cur-
rent VistaMax source feeding that channel. But, when finding the next source by pressing an Up or Down button, the displayed name switches to show a po­tential Next Source for that channel. The yellow Next label above the Up button lights while the Next Source name is dis­played. Holding down, or repeatedly tapping the Up or Down button, steps alphanumerically through the list of poten­tial Next Source names available on that chan­nel.
Once the desired
Dual Router Panel
source name is shown,
HARRIS CORPORATION
1-4
Page 11
1 Introducing NetWave
pressing the Take button selects that source—when the channel is off. New routed sources cannot be taken when the channel is on (the On button flashes three times to indicate the next source can­not be taken while the channel is on). But, a next source can be pre-selected and then taken once the channel is turned off.
Which sources are seen when the Up and Down buttons are pressed on the router channel is set using the VistaMax Control Center (VMCC) soft­ware, vers 1.1 or later. Each channel could be as­signed anywhere from one source up to every av ail­able source in the VistaMax system in its selection list. In regular use, the signal list is kept short to make it easy for board operators to easily find desired sources. If a board operator needs to se­lected a source that is not shown, pressing both the Up and Down buttons together turns on the Include All function, lighting up the red Include All label. Every source available to the console’s parent device is now displayed. Pressing both Up and Down buttons together again turns off the In­clude All function.
The VMCC 1.1 software is included on the Net­Wave CD-ROM (99-5001) that comes with the console.
To integrate the NetWave with a VistaMax or Envoy card frame, the VistaMax devices must be running 500-series code. The current operating system code build can be viewed by opening the release.txt file on the parent card frame or by using Community Monitor, another program included on the NetWave CD-ROM.

Monitor Panel
This standard panel is divided into three sections separated by double graphic lines. From left to right the sections, divided by main function, are: Aux Meter control; Control Room control; and Studio control.
Monitor Control Panel
Aux Meter Section
The top of all three sections have exclusiv e action source selector buttons to select one monitor signal from the PGM 1 thru 4 buses and the two External Monitor inputs. In the Aux Meter section, the buttons select which signal feeds the right-most meter in the Reflective Display, with the selected source name shown below the Aux Meter.
Note that the Aux Meter is normally set to alternately display the cue levels while cue is active (when the cue label is lit, Cue is displayed below the meter and the cue level is shown).

HARRIS CORPORATION
Page 12

Several Control Room controls are located below the meter selector buttons in this section of the panel. They are covered in the Control Room Section that follows.
Control Room Section
The middle of the panel has the control room monitor source selector buttons and the two faders to control the room monitor speaker level and the operator headphone output level.
Any one source can be selected to feed all control room monitor outputs. The active source button lights to indicate its selection.
A cue speaker, at the left end of the console display, is level controlled by the cue pot in the middle of the left-hand section. A cue indicator (yellow) lights while cue is active.
A talkback pot controls the level of incoming talkback that feeds the cue speaker independently of the cue volume pot. A Talk to Control Room indicator (red) lights while a studio microphone is talking to the control room.
A control room monitor output fader and the operator headphone output fader are at the bot­tom of the center section.
The signal mode for both the control room and studio outputs is set by the Monitor Mode but­tons in the left-hand section (below the cue and talkback pots). The L and R buttons control whether the monitor signal for all outputs is ste­reo (when neither button is lit), left only (when L is lit), right only (when R is lit) or a mono sum signal (when L and R are both lit) where the left and right signals are summed together to feed all monitor outputs.
Just below the R mode button is the AutoCue button. When lit, the operator’s headphone out­put automatically switches to feed the cue bus into the operator’s headphones while cue is active. When unlit, cue activity does not affect the board operator’s headphone audio. AutoCue has two
modes of operation (set by switch DS1-3 on the Monitor & Output card). The default setting is Split Cue, where the monitor and cue audio are sepa­rately summed to mono before feeding the opera­tor headphones. Cue audio is sent to the one ear while the monitor audio goes to the other ear . T his is typically used when the console is in an on-air studio.
The second AutoCue mode is Stereo Cue, where stereo cue audio replaces the monitor audio source in the headphones. This setting may be desirable for production rooms and other off-air applica­tions.
Studio Section
The right-hand section of the Monitor panel has the monitor source selection buttons and level controls for a separate talk or voice studio. One source can be selected from among the six buttons at the top of the center section. The selected source button lights to indicate its selection.
The two pots in this section control the output level of a dedicated studio monitor output (Monitor) and the amount of talk to studio audio (Talkback) that is fed to the monitor output.
This section of the Monitor Control panel also has a Talk to Studio button to allow the board operator to talk to the studio using the board operator mic. If desired, multiple control room mics can be assigned as talk sources to enable both a board op and a producer to talk to the studio without having to add a mic control panel.
Five event timer control buttons are at the bottom of this section. Start, Stop, Hold and Reset manually control the event timer in the Console Display. When the Auto Reset button is lit, the timer can be reset automatically when a channel is turned on. Which channel sources reset the timer are set during installation using the DSP & I/O card setup controls.
HARRIS CORPORATION

Reflective Console Display
The integrated Reflective Console Display is lo­cated just behind the Dual Fader and Monitor panels. The standard display has two stereo bar­graph meters with the left one showing the PGM 1 output levels. The right-hand, or Aux Meter, shows a source selected using the Meter source controls on the Monitor panel. Two more stereo bargraph meters (for Program 2 and Program 3) can be added to the larger frame sizes by install­ing the optional Quad Meter kit.
A time of day clock and an event timer are also in the Console Display . The default operating mode for the clock is autonomous, meaning the clock runs independently and must be set by hand. The clock time remains current for about three days with the power off. After that, the time must again be set. The clock can alternately be slaved to a SMPTE, ESE TC-89 or ESE TC-90 master clock. In this mode, the time set buttons are not active.
The event timer is controlled by Monitor panel buttons, as well as reset commands from one or more channels when the Auto button is lit.
Monitor & Output Card
Each NetW a ve console has one Monitor & Out­put card with the user connections listed on page 1-2. The Monitor panel plugs into the Monitor & Output card, receiving power and control signals. The card also supplies power and clock signals, and sends and receives bused audio signals, to the DSP & I/O cards via a short flat cable jumper.
There are two LEDs, to indicate operational sta­tus (DSP clock and F ail), and a console reset but­ton located on the Monitor & Output card.
The Monitor & Output card is located below and behind the Monitor panel and Reflective Con­sole Display. In normal operation the card con­nections are hidden by a cosmetic flip-open rear cover.
DSP & I/O Cards
Each DSP & I/O card (Digital Signal Processor plus Inputs and Outputs) has the setup controls, audio inputs and logic I/O connectors for eight console channels. The channels are on the four Dual F ader panels that mount directly in front of each card. A DSP Active and a Fault LED indi­cate operational status on each card.
There is one DSP & I/O card on NetWave-8 consoles, two on NetWave-16 consoles and three on NetWave-24 consoles. In normal operation, the DSP & I/O cards are completely hidden from the operator by a cosmetic flip-up cover.
Each DSP & I/O card has twelve RJ-45 con­nectors. Eight are internal connectors for four Dual F ader panels (using red CA T-5 cables supplied with the frame); the other four RJ-45 connectors are for optional Dual Router Kits (which plug in us­ing a supplied blue CAT-5 cable). Customer-sup­plied CAT-5 cables then connect the Dual Router kits to the VistaMax LAN using the four rear panel RJ-45 passthru connectors.
Each DSP & I/O card has a common set of as­signment buttons and indicator LEDs to assign the parameter settings for each A and B source on the eight channels associated with that DSP & I/O card. The setup parameters include: input se­lection (analog, digital or network); mode selec­tion (stereo, L, R or mono); signal function (mic, line, Telco); whether the logic I/O is active; input left and right gain trims for both analog and digi­tal inputs; network source assignment; and other logic settings.
Pow er Supply
Two different power supplies are used with Net­Wave consoles. Each has a single 48-volt output on a keyed DC connector and each is supplied with a detachable IEC AC cord.
An in-line supply (50-27) is standard on the Net­Wave-8 and -16 consoles. It has a captive six foot

DC cable which allows the supply to sit below the console within the cabinetry. This supply is not recommended for use with a NetWave-24 console.
NetW av e-24 consoles ship with a Universal 48­volt Supply (99-1205), which is also used by VistaMax card frames and RMX soles. A fifteen foot detachable DC cable (90-1858-
1) connects that supply to the console.
One supply, either the 50-27 or the 99-1205, comes standard with each console. A second matching redundant supply can be connected to any NetWave console by using the optional 90­1995 Power Coupler.
NOTE: When adding a 99-1205 supply for redun­dant powering, order a 99-1205-1 supply (it in­cludes a 90-1858-1 fifteen-foot DC cable).
The 99-1205 supply has a recessed front panel on/off switch and a green LED to indicate the 48­volt output is good. The 50-27 supply has a green LED on the top of its case to indicate its 48-volt output is good but it does not have a power switch.
Each supply is designed for continuous 24/7 operation and is fully regulated and protected against excessive current by internal fuses and elec­tronic safeguards.
d
and BMXd con-
VistaMax Link
The RJ-45 VistaMax Link connector is located next to the DC input connector on the rear panel. This connector links the NetWave console to a Vis­taMax or Envoy Hub card in order to network the console with a VistaMax system. The optional Link Activation Kit must be installed to use the Link connection.
Once activated, the Link sends up to 32 stereo signals (the four program buses, cue bus, Telco record output, two dual channel mix-minus sig­nals and one input from each channel) to a VistaMax network as source signals. Up to 26 ste-
reo destinations (two routed External Monitor in­puts and one input for each channel) are routed from the VistaMax system to the console.

Console Installation
The 99-5001 NetWave CD-ROM has several video files on console installa­tion; on installing optional items; on setting up the console channels; and on typical console operations.
GENERAL WIRING INFO
To facilitate console installation, create a wire list of all console interconnections to and from pe­ripheral devices. Identify and create tags for each audio and logic cable. List these connections in a master facility wiring logbook to ease installation, future system wiring or equipment changes and system troubleshooting.
Pages 2-18 to 2-22 cov er wire preparation and connector installation. Page 2-23 has block dia­grams for the various NetWave logic connectors. Pages 2-27 to 2-30 show typical peripheral con­nections for a mic, a CD player, a computer play­back system and linking to a VistaMax system.
Audio cables to/from the console should always be run with the maximum practical distance from all AC power mains wiring within the cabinetry. The console’ s 48-volt power cable carries only DC voltage so audio wiring can run parallel or be tie wrapped to this cable without problem.
The channel audio and logic wiring connects sequentially along the back of the console in eight channel groups. The chassis metal is cutaw ay be­tween the DSP & I/O cards to facilitate getting
the connectors and wiring up through the coun­tertop.
To ease installation, break out each group of cables, using the dimensions shown below as mea­sured from the right end of the cutout. Cabling is normally broken out and tie wrapped to the bot­tom of the countertop just behind the cable cut­out. Lea ve a six to eight inch service loop on each cable to ease installation and future wiring changes. This extra cabling hangs down into the cabinet (or the cable tray) after being connected.
The monitor and program outputs connect at the right corner of the console along with the 48­volt supply, the optional Link cable and the tech­nical ground wire. The chassis is also cutout in this area to ease installation.
Plug in all audio and logic cables first. Then route the excess cabling (i.e., service loops) into the cabinet by folding the audio and logic wires over their connectors and arranging the cables to go into the gap between the connectors and the flip-up connector cover such that the cover sits down onto the chassis behind the console display .
The technical ground wire, DC cable and any Link and LAN cables can now be connected.
POWER SUPPLY PLACEMENT
Two types of power supplies are used with Net­Wave consoles. Each has a single 48-volt DC out­put using a keyed and locking connector. Each uses an IEC AC input cable which is shipped with a USA-type plug. The AC connector, or the IEC

cord, will have to be changed for overseas opera­tion. Both supplies operate from 90 to 240 VAC on 50 or 60 Hz power .
The 50-27 in-line supply comes standard on the NetWave-8 and NetWave-16 consoles. It has a captive six-foot DC cable, so it must be located near the right rear corner of the console. It is typi­cally set on the wire tray or within the cabinet (it can be tie wrapped to a vertical wall to save space). This supply will get warm under normal use as it uses free air space for ventilation, so it must never be covered or enclosed.
The 99-1205 Universal 48-volt Supply comes standard on the NetWave-24. It requires 2 RU of rack space within the console cabinetry, typically located below and to the left or right of the con­sole. It is the same supply used with VistaMax card frames and consoles. A detachable 15-foot DC cable (90-1858-1) connects this supply to the NetWave console.
Either supply must be installed such that the keyed 48-volt supply cable is not under any ten­sion when routed through the cabinet. The 48­volt cable locks into a keyed power connector on the right rear corner of the NetWave chassis.
A 90-1995 Power Coupler (optional) is avail­able to add a redundant power supply for on-air consoles. T he main and redundant power supplies plug into its special Y-cable, which then plugs into the console. It hangs below the countertop.
AC GROUNDING NOTE: Do not
defeat the IEC power cord “U” safety ground in any way, as this may create a potentially dangerous condition to the operator .
GROUNDING AND SHIELDING
Terminate the facility’s technical ground wire for the console into a crimped ring tongue termi­nal suitable for a #8 stud. Fasten the ground wire
Tie a 14-16 AWG ground wire to this screw using a ring tongue fastener
Technical Ground Connection Point,
NetWave Chassis, r ight rear view
to the NetWave chassis using the #8 chassis screw behind the Link connector.
When all system components share a common ground potential (by using isolated ground AC out­lets tied individually back to the main technical ground), the audio cable shields can be connected at both the console and the peripheral ends.
If isolated ground AC outlets are not used, con­nect the cable shields at the console end only. Do not connect the shields on the peripheral device end. Ensure the peripheral devices connect to a clean ground through their power cords or through separate ground wires to the facility’s technical ground.
GROUNDING NOTE: The Power Sup-
ply chassis connects to the AC mains safety or “U” ground wire.
AUDIO GROUND NOISES: Buzz
pickup is generally electrostatic—such as capacitive coupling between an au­dio line and an A C power line. To avoid audio ground noises, do not route au­dio wires in the same wireway as an AC power line.
NOTE: Strong electromagnetic fields
from peripheral equipment using switching power supplies may impair NetWave performance, so keep these products as far away as practical from the console’s location.

COUNTERTOP PREPARATION
Follow the dimensions listed on page 2-1 to mark and router the cable access opening through the countertop and substrate. Always radius the corners to prevent laminate cracks.
NOTE: If the console will be set against a wall,
leave a .5" [13] gap between the side panels and the wall in order to flip-up the connector cover.
Center the console over the cable access cutout so that the rear connector cover , when closed, cov­ers the cutout.
For security or stability the console can be fas­tened to the countertop. To do this, the leftmost Dual Fader panel and the Monitor Panel must be removed to access the two chassis holes (see page 2-1 for hole locations).
pilot holes for screws or clear holes for bolts. On laminate countertops it is important that the hole through the laminate is larger than the screw or bolt threads to prevent future laminate cracks.
Use #8 or #10 screws or bolts to fasten the con­sole to the countertop substrate. Do not deform the chassis, or unbalance the rubber feet, by ap­plying excessive torque on the screws or bolts.
NOTE: Install the optional Link Acti-
vation kit at this time while the Moni­tor panel is already out of the chassis. The install instructions are on the next page. Also, if changes are needed on the Monitor & Output card setup switches, they should be done at this time as well. Switch setting informa­tion is on page 2-10.
Removing Control Panels
Control panels are fastened to the frame using 3mm silver hex screws. The panels connect to frame cards using short red CAT-5 cables.
To remove a control panel:
1. Remove the 3mm hex screws that fasten the
panel to the frame (a hex driver is in the op­tional 76-1901 NetW a ve/SMXdigital toolkit).
2. Move that panel’s faders to full off and use the
two fader knobs to lift up the panel enough to remove the panel by its metal extrusion.
WARNING: The red CAT-5 cable connecting
the panel is short, so lift the panel up just enough to clear the console surface.
3. Unplug the CAT -5 cable from the panel. If the
panel is a Dual Router panel, there will be a two labeled CAT-5 cables.
Before marking the holes to fasten the console to the countertop , make sure the console is set par ­allel to the countertop edge and is covering the cable cutout. Mark, then move the console, to drill
Reinstall the panels into the frame, using the reverse order to their removal. T he red CA T-5 cable plugs into J5 on the Dual Fader panels.
INSTALLING CONSOLE OPTIONS
All NetW a ve consoles ship from the factory in a standard configuration. Any console options (Link Activation kit, Dual Router kit, Quad Meter pack­age, additional Dual Fader panels) will be sepa­rately packaged and must be installed into the console. Optional items can be installed during console installation or at any future time.
Installing the Link Activation kit or a Quad Meter package requires that the console be unpowered during the installation. The other kits can be installed while the console is powered.
Link Activation Kit
The Link Activation kit turns any NetWave from a non-networked, stand-alone console into a net­worked or Linked console that is ready to con­nect into a VistaMax audio management system.
HARRIS CORPORATION

The NetWave’s RJ-45 Link connector, next to the keyed DC power connector , ties the console to an available VistaMax Hub card facet using a CA T­5e or CAT-6 crossover cable. Cable runs of up to 300 feet [100 meters] are allowed.
Link activation adds the following capabilities to any NetWave console:
A network signal can be set as any channel’s
input for either the A or B source. The signal is selected using a VistaMax source selector, by a session or macro file entry or by install­ing a Dual Router kit in a Dual Fader panel.
A network signal can also be used for either
External Monitor input. The signal is set by a VistaMax source selector or by a session or macro file entry.
The console’ s buses (four programs, two mix-
minuses and cue) and one local input (analog or digital) from each channel become network sources, a vailable for routing to any VistaMax destination.
To install this kit, the Monitor panel must be removed. An installation video and a PDF file of the installation sheet are included on the 99-5001 CD-ROM.
NOTE: Discharge possible static
charges into the console frame before following this procedure and before handling the PROMs.
Link Activation Kit Installation
1. Turn off the console’s power supply.
2. Remove the Monitor panel, per the instruc-
tions on page 2-4.
3. Use the 70-134 PLCC removal tool (included
in the Link Activation kit) to remove PROM U64 from the Monitor & Output card. Place the two tool tips into the two open corners of the 21-352-3 PROM and then
squeeze the tool handles to “pop” the PROM out of the socket.
4. Place the 21-352-4 PROM into the U64 socket
with its pin 1 mark aligned with the pin 1 mark on the board. Firmly press down on the PROM to fully seat it in the socket.
5. Replace the Monitor panel (plug in the CA T-5
cable and fasten the panel to the frame).
6. Power up the console and verify that the
taMax Enabled
label is now lit on the Moni-
Vis-
tor panel.
Dual Router Kit
A Dual Router kit adds VistaMax source selec­tion capability to both channels on a Dual Fader panel. The Link Activation kit must be installed in order to use a Dual Router kit.
Any Dual Fader panel can have a Dual Router kit installed but, for most applications, between one and three Dual Fader panels will have kits installed. This results in two, four or six channels that can select their own VistaMax source. The re­maining channels can have a VistaMax source set as their A or B input, but they cannot locally change their VistaMax source.
A Dual Router kit consists of two 10-character displays for source name display; two

cable into the LAN Passthru jack, noting the jack’s letter (the corresponding lettered jack on the rear panel will then connect the Dual Router panel to the VistaMax LAN).
10.Set the panel onto the frame, making sure that
the CA T-5 cables are not pinched by the metal extrusion while it is fastened to the frame.
11.Connect a straight-thru CAT-5 cable from the
matching rear panel LAN Passthru jack (the same letter jack as used in step 9) to the Vis­taMax LAN switch.
12.Use VMCC to set up the new Dual Router
panel. The information written on the TINI’s antistatic bag label is used during this step.
Quad Meter Package
This option replaces the standard console dis­play with a four meter display . Kits are only avail­able for NetWave-16 and NetW a ve-24 consoles.
The Quad Meter Package includes a new con­sole display housing and another meter board. The console’s original meter and clock-timer boards are moved to the new housing, which then replaces the original dual meter console display.
The Quad Meter P ackage has dedicated displays for PGM 1, PGM 2 and PGM 3, with the fourth meter (AUX) being used to display PGM 4 or an external monitor input.
Because the Quad Meter Package requires ex­tensive frame disassembly , the console power must be turned off during installation. For installation instructions, refer to the installation guide that comes with the package.
REFLECTIVE CONSOLE DISPLAY
The reflector can be inserted into its slot be­hind the console display at this time—if the best access to the console connectors is from the rear of the console. If the best access is from the front, wait until the wiring is completed before install­ing the reflector .
The reflector is shipped with protective paper stuck to both sides. This paper must be removed before installing the reflector.
NOTE: Handle the reflector by its edges
to prevent scratches and fingerprints. When the reflector is removed, place it on a lint-free cloth to prevent scratch­ing the reflective surface. Use a lint-free cloth dampened with either diluted dish soap or alcohol, or a damp cham­ois, to clean the surface.
Two 4-40 screws, on the rear of the display as­sembly , firmly hold the reflector in place after it is

Installing the Reflector into the Console Display Slot
Detail: Two rear panel screws hold reflector in place
installed into its slot. These screws are shipped installed and must be removed before the reflec­tor can be inserted into its slot.
Insert the reflector, with its notched edge be­hind the clock and timer , into the slot. The reflec­tor is designed to sit at a 22° angle toward the board op. This is assured by the two mounting screws. They should be installed once all console connections are finished and the console is ready for daily use. Before this time the reflector can sit in the slot without the screws for easy removal.
The standard Console Display has two horizon­tal stereo bargraph meters. Alphanumeric displays below each meter identify the signal displayed (PROGRAM 1, PROGRAM 2, etc.). T he standard meters provide simultaneous level monitoring of the Program 1 bus on the left-hand meter and another bus or system signal on the right-hand Auxiliary Meter , as selected by the Aux Meter but­tons on the Monitor panel.
An upgrade option (Quad Meter Package) adds two more meters so that all four Program buses can be displayed simultaneously. T his Quad Meter package upgrade displays Program buses 1, 2 and 3, plus the Auxiliary Meter selection. The Aux
meter functions the same as in the standard meter configuration.
Various meter, clock and timer parameters are set using switches on the meter (DS3) and clock­timer circuit boards (DS1). The procedure to change the switch settings is detailed in the fol­lowing sections. In summary, here are the various display parameters that can be changed, with their factory default setting listed first:
Meter Display Mode (average plus peak dis-
play or average-only display)
Blue Over LED turn-on level (-6 dBFS, -4
dBFS, -2 dBFS, 0 dBFS)
Peak Signal Hold (active or not active)
Clock Mode (autonomous or slaved to a mas-
ter clock input signal)
Autonomous Time Display (12-hour or 24-
hour)
Master Clock Type (ESE or SMPTE)
Event T imer (display .1 sec or no .1 secs while
running)
Setting The Clock
When used autonomously (the factory default setting), a quartz crystal oscillator controls clock timing. After applying power to the console, the clock must be manually set to the current time using the three recessed buttons adjacent to the clock display (shown on the next page). Use a blunt-tipped nonconductive object (wooden swab , toothpick, etc.) to press the recessed buttons.

The clock will keep time for about three days with the console powered off. Beyond this point the time will have to be reset again when autono­mous mode is used.
Removing the Console Display
The console display must be removed from the frame to change display settings, to connect a mas­ter clock or remote timer reset cable or to install the Quad Meter P ackage.
Each of these activities require accessing the meter and clock-timer printed circuit assemblies (PCAs) on the bottom of the console display. The console should be powered off when removing and reinstalling the display assembly . Two padded sur-

faces are required for this procedure. To remove the console display:
1. Flip-up the rear connector cover to access the
two rear corner 4-40 screws that hold the re­flector in place. Remove these screws.
2. Lift the reflector out of its slot. Place it on a
padded surface to protect its mirrored surface.
3. Remove the console display cosmetic cover
screws (two or four 4-40 Phillips screws). Re­move the cover by lifting it straight up.
4. Set the smoked display window (which was
sandwiched between the display cover and the main display subassembly) off to the side.
5. Remove the display subassembly mounting
screws (4-40 Phillips) along the front of the subassembly just above the control panels .
6. To protect the control panels and display sub-
assembly , lay padded material over the top half of the control panels. Lift the display subas­sembly up just enough to clear the frame, flip it forward and lay it facedown onto the pad­ded material. The display subassembly con­nects to the Monitor & Output board using two cables. Do not strain these cables while removing the subassembly and placing it onto the control panels.
7. Use the illustration on the next page to iden-
tify the switches and connectors on the clock­timer and meter PCAs.
SAFETY NOTE: Touch the metal chas-
sis to dissipate static before adjusting the switches or plugging in an ESE, SMPTE or remote timer cable. Do not touch any components on the PCAs other than the switches or connectors.
Reinstall the console display in reverse order . Use care to not pinch any cables between metal parts. Align the smoked display window holes with the clock set holes. T he cosmetic co ver holds it in place.

Meter Settings
The PGM 1 and Aux meter parameters are set using multi-switch DS3 (shown on page 2-9). The Quad Meter Package adds a second meter board. The left-hand board’ s DS3 settings affect the first pair of meters (PGM 1 and PGM 2) and the right­hand meter board’s DS3 settings affect the PGM 3 and Aux meters. Typically the two meter boards would be set to the same settings. The DS3 fac­tory settings are all switches set to off.
To turn off the peak displays and to show only the average meter lev els, set DS3-1 to on.
To have the Peak indicators decay immediately, switch DS3-2 to on.
To change the level where the Blue LEDs turn on: set DS3-3 and DS3-4 to off to turn on the Blue LEDs at -6 dBFS; set DS3-3 on and DS3-4 off to turn on the Blue LEDs at -4 dBFS; set DS3-3 off and DS3-4 to turn on the Blue LEDs at -2 dBFS.
DS3-5 and DS3-6 must be left set to off for Net­Wave consoles.
MONITOR & OUTPUT BOARD SETTINGS
The Monitor & Output board has two multi­switches to assign various parameters to the Moni­tor & Output board outputs. The factory default setting for all switches is off.
To access the switches, the Monitor panel must be removed from the frame. Follow the directions on page 2-4 to remove the panel.
DS1 and DS2 Settings
Multi-switches DS1 and DS2 are at the front edge of the Monitor & Output board, hidden be­low the Monitor panel in normal use. Here is what each switch does:
DS1-1 affects the Aux meter display. When off the cue level is displayed while cue is active. When set to on, the A ux meter does not display cue.
DS1-2 affects the Offline bus signals. When off, Offline signals are derived pre-fader . When on, the Offline signals are post-fader .
DS1-3 affects the operator headphone output when AutoCue is active. When set off, cue is fed to the headphones in stereo (typically used for pro­duction rooms). When set to on, a split feed (moni­tor to one ear, cue to the other ear) is sent to the headphones (typically used for on-air consoles).
DS1-4 affects Telco channel operation. When set to off, the mix-minus source (the winking bus as­signment button) is not affected by turning the Telco channel on or off. When set to on, the Auto Foldback function is activ ated. T he mix-minus out­put automatically switches between Offline (Telco channel off) and the lowest selected program bus (Telco channel on). When Offline is not lit on the Telco channel, no mix-minus audio is heard while the channel is off, except for talkback to that T elco .
The next four switches (DS1-5, DS1-6, DS2-1 and DS2-2) set the sample rate outputs for the

NETWAVE CONTROL PANELS
The NetWave’s main components are identified in the illustration, above. There are four types of control panels (Dual F ader, Dual Router , Monitor and Dual Blank); two types of cards (Monitor & Output and DSP & I/O); and two display PCAs (Dual Meter and Clock-T imer).
Each slot, or control panel frame position, is
1.6" wide. The Monitor panel consumes three slots while all of the other panels use two slots. There are sixteen input slots on a NetWave-16, as shown above, so up to eight Dual Fader or Dual Router panels can be installed. The NetWave-16, as shipped from the factory, includes six Dual Fader panels installed into slots 1-12. Slots 13-16 are covered by two Dual Blank panels .
Additional Dual Fader panels (99-1423) can be installed into slots 13-16 at time of installation or

This also holds true for the NetWave-24, which ships with nine Dual Faders (in slots 1-18) and three Dual Blank panels in slots 19-24.
DUAL FADERS AND DSP & I/O CARDS
Four Dual Fader panels connect to each DSP & I/O card, as illustrated above. Each connects to an RJ-45 jack labeled by their channel assignments (i.e., F ader P anel 7 & 8). These identify which two channels are serviced by that jack. The panels get power and send/receive control signals from these jacks using short red CAT-5 cables. A NetWave-8 frame has four cables, a NetWave-16 has eight and a NetWave-24 frame has twelve cables.
The optional Dual Router Kits add a second CAT-5 cable to connect the kit’s TINI card to the VistaMax LAN. Because of space constraints, two special flat CAT-5 cables are included with each Dual Router kit.
The Dual F ader and LAN pass-thru RJ-45 jacks are located below each Dual Fader panel’s rear mounting bracket. A chassis label identifies each jack as to its use.
Audio Inputs and Logic I/O
Each DSP & I/O card has eight analog inputs, eight digital inputs and eight Channel Logic I/O connectors, as shown on page 2-13. W hich physi­cal input (analog or digital) is assigned to the A

DSP & I/O Card Setup Controls
2 Installation
Setup Co n tro ls
Each DSP & I/O card has a common group of setup controls, shown above, to separately assign the parameters used by the A and B sources on the eight channels (on four Dual Fader or Dual Router panels) that plug into that DSP & I/O card.
A Setup Stylus Tool (70-160) is included with the console to press the recessed buttons. Any blunt-tipped nonconductive object (wooden swab , toothpick, etc.) could alternately be used.
The following sections cover using the DSP & I/O card setup controls to configure the channel parameters. Note that these are typically not set until after the console has been wired since pa­rameter changes take effect immediately so that the active signal and level can be confirmed using the console display and monitor outputs.
The active channel and source on the setup con­trols is identified on the active channel display and on the Dual Fader panel by the blinking A or B indicator. This allows the input source (analog, digital or network) to be monitored on the active channel to ensure the correct signal is selected and that the levels and logic settings are proper .

when the console’s
taMax Linked
VistaMax Enabled
and
Vis-
labels are lit on the Monitor panel.
Input Mode—Sets how the selected input audio is
fed to the channel strip.
Stereo
is the default setting for stereo sources like CD players.
Mono
is typically used for
news or mono AM broadcast applica-
tions. It sums a stereo input to a mono signal that is applied to both left and right.
The
Left
and
Right
selections are typically used with mic preamps. These settings allow two mics to be assigned on the same channel to the A and B sources. Typically the the A source and the
Left
input is assigned as
Right
input is set as the B source. One typical application is to connect con­trol room guest mics to the left inputs and set them as the A sources , while studio guest mics are con­nected to the right inputs and are assigned as the B sources on the same channels.
Input Function—Defines the type of signal con-
nected to the selected input. The set­ting may affect the monitor outputs, mix-minus outputs, and v arious Logic I/O signals.
With no LEDs lit, the signal is defined as a line input device (i.e., CD pla yer , MD player, computer playback system, Shortcut, Instant Replay, etc.). The channel does not mute any monitor output when on. If logic is active, the channel output logic is start and stop pulses while the channel input logic is on, off, ready and cue.
When CR MIC is lit, the signal is defined as a control room mic. W hen the channel is turned on, the CR Monitor output mutes and the control room warning command is activated. If logic is active, the output logic is on tally and off tally and the input logic is on, off , cough and talk to studio.
When CR MIC TLK SRC is lit, the signal is also defined as a control room mic, with the same muting and logic features as the CR MIC selec­tion. But, in addition, this signal is identified as the talk mic source for console talkback. Multiple

mics can be set as control room talk sources, but typically only the board operator mic, and possi­bly a producer mic, are set to this function. Other control room mics can talk to the studio by using a mic control panel with a talkback button.
When STU MIC is lit, the signal is defined as a studio mic. When the channel is turned on, the studio monitor output mutes and the studio warn­ing command is activated. If a mic control panel with talkback button is used, then that mic posi­tion can talk to the control room.
When TELCO 1 or TELCO 2 is lit, it indicates the input signal requires a mix-minus signal from the console. These settings are used with Telco hybrids, ISDN connections, satellite transceivers and other two-way devices. Only one console chan­nel source can be set as T elco 1 and only one con­sole channel source can be set as Telco 2.
Logic Active—Sets whether the channel logic I/O
connector is active for that source. When lit, the channel’s logic I/O
connector is active. When unlit, the logic connector is not active for that source. Typi­cally, only A or B is set for Logic Active on any channel.
Timer Reset—W hen lit, indicates the channel strip
will send a timer reset command to the Event Timer when it is turned
on. When unlit, no timer reset com­mand is issued. In order for the timer reset com­mands to reach the Event Timer, the Auto button on the Monitor panel must be lit.
Start/Stop Pulse Generation—Affects the chan-
nel logic start and stop pulses gen-
erated for Line and Telco channel
logic. There are four conditions: both LEDs off; Local on and Multi off; Local off and Multi on; and both Local and Multi on.
With both LEDs off, one start or stop pulse is generated when the channel on/off state changes by pressing Channel On/Off or when receiving remote logic channel on and off commands.
With the Local LED on and the Multi LED off, a start or stop pulse is only generated when the channel status is changed by pressing Channel On or Channel Off. The channel can still be turned on and off remotely , but no start or stop pulse will be generated.
With the Multi LED on and the Local LED off, a start pulse is generated anytime Channel On is pressed or a start command is received. Likewise, a stop pulse is generated anytime Channel Off is pressed or a channel off command is received. No channel state change is required to generate an­other start or stop pulse.
With both the Multi and Local LEDs on, a start pulse is generated anytime Channel On is pressed and a stop pulse is generated each time Channel Off is pressed. Remote channel on or off commands do not generate any pulses.
Off Button Lighting—When unlit (the standard
setting), the Off button lights up whenever the channel is off. When lit, the remote logic command Read y
controls the lighting of the channel Off button.
Typically, this setting is lit for CD players and other peripheral devices that can control a channel’s Off button light to indicate play status. If the peripheral is not ready (e.g., no CD loaded), the channel off button is not lit. When the periph­eral is ready (e.g., a CD is loaded and cued), then the off button is lit. After the peripheral finishes (e.g., the CD track has played) the off button winks to indicate the event has completed.

Fader Start—When unlit (the standard setting),
the channel fader position has no effect on the channel on/off status.
When lit, mo ving the fader turns the channel on as the fader is moved up from full off. The channel is turned off when the fader is re­turned to full off.
The channel on and off buttons and the remote channel on and off commands are not affected by the fader start setting.
Option—The Option button is used in combina-
tion with other buttons to put the panel into test or special setup modes. The three LEDs may indi­cate when a special mode is active.
When 1 is lit, it indicates the panel is in the
Copy Parameter
mode, where one set of param-
eters can be saved to multiple channel sources.
When 2 is lit, it indicates the panel is in the
setup test
mode. In this mode all eight channels use the same set of parameters (which can be ad­justed but not stored). This mode is used to quickly determine if all inputs and channel strips are work­ing properly .
Input T rim Controls—Each local analog and digi-
tal input can have its left and right signals separately trimmed,
in one dB steps, by up to +/-15 dB.
The Input T rim Select button sets which input— analog (A) or digital (D), is active and which sig­nal—left or right, is selected for trimming . T he ac­tive signal is identified by the lit A or D indicator and by the lit Trim Active decimal point in the Trim display.

or Level Down button to raise or lower the active signal’s level in 1 dB steps. When the active source’s channel strip is turned on and assigned to a bus, then the console
meters can be used to adjust the level since the level changes take place immediately.
Network Source—This function is only active
when the console’s VistaMax Link is active. One input on each channel— either analog (A) or digital (D), is set
as a VistaMax source. The selected input signal goes to the VistaMax system via the Link cable. These signals are available for selec­tion like any other VistaMax source signal. This setting does not affect any local uses of the se­lected signal.
Refer to the NetW ave Quick Guide and to pages 2-27 to 2-29 for the parameters settings used by the most common type of signal inputs.
Channel Source Labels
Dual Fader panels have an A/B label on each channel. One blank source label (80-2132) for each input slot is supplied in the console installation kit. Use a Brother P-Touch® labeler, with 1/4" clear with black lettering tape, to create custom source labels that can be stuck onto these blank source labels. Up to five characters are possible per source name when the smallest lettering size (Size 1) is used.

To replace the source label, pry up on the smoked polycarbonate display lens from the out­side (the lens has two snap tabs along the top and bottom to hold it in the panel). Remove the A/B label from the rubber silo. Insert the custom label in its place. Make sure the label is firmly held in the silo’s recess before snapping the display lens back onto the panel.

Cabling and Wiring
All user connections are made on plug-in con­nectors along the rear of the console. The connec­tors are hidden in normal operation by a rear flip­up cover that extends across the console.
To access the connectors, the co ver can be com­pletely removed by lifting it straight up when closed, or it can be flipped open by either lifting it from the front edge or by pressing in on the verti­cal section at the back. The cover sits on two roll pins that extend from the side panels. It flips open toward the rear.
Note: The cover is typically removed
during installation to ease connector access. To prevent scratches, set the painted cover on a padded surface.

REQUIRED CABLES AND WIRE
The following types of wire and cable are rec-
ommended for use with NetWave consoles:
Analog audio connections use two-conductor , stranded, insulated, shielded cable using a separate shield drain wire (equivalent to Belden 8451, 9451 or 8761)
AES/EBU connections use 110 ohm two-con­ductor, stranded, insulated, foil-shield cable containing a separate shield drain wire (equivalent to Belden 1800B)
Logic control uses stranded, 22 AWG, mul­tiple-conductor, non-shielded, jacketed cable (equivalent to Belden 9423, 8457 or 9421).
The number of conductors required is de­termined by the application. Typically, cables with five or eight wires are most often used for constructing logic cables since, ev en though there are twelve or fourteen pins on the logic connectors, only a handful are typically con­nected for any given application.

2 Installation
To use the ratcheting crimp tool:
1. Insert the contact into the contact holder with
the barrel openings up. Typically, the middle holder is used (20 - 24 AWG wire). Flip the holder up so it magnetically latches against the crimp tool. The end of the insulation bar­rel should be about 2 mm from the end of the die. Close the tool handles one click (only un­til the anvil holds the contact in place, as shown in the cutaway view, below).
2. Insert the prepped wire into the contact until
the insulation hits the tool’s stop. Hold the wire in place while squeezing the tool handles to crimp the contact onto the wire and insula­tion. The tool handles automatically release and spring open after the crimp cycle is com­plete.

Likewise, the NetW av e’s analog outputs may be routed through a patch bay normalled to stan­dard peripherals such as analog on-air processing gear , recorders, telephone hybrids, etc.
Each analog input is designed for line level (+4 dBu). Each input can be level trimmed (by up to +/-16 dB) so that unbalanced -10 dBv devices can be directly connected to the console. Note that mi­crophones must be separately preamplified and processed before being connected to the console.

Digital Connections
Three-pin digital inputs accept AES-3 (AES/ EBU) compatible signals with sample rates of 25 to 50 kHz. Each digital input goes through sample rate conversion (the console’ s internal sample rate is 48 kHz). In most cases, digital inputs can also accept unbalanced S/PDIF signals. Refer to Un­balanced Connections on the next page for details.

2 Installation
Each digital output is an AES-3 compatible sig­nal. AES-3 outputs cannot connect directly to an S/PDIF input. To do this requires a signal trans­lation interface.
UNBALANCED CONNECTIONS
Although all analog inputs and outputs are active and balanced, unbalanced consumer or “semipro” equipment can be connected to the con­sole. For best results, connect an unbalanced de­vice through an IHF-PRO match box and keep the unbalanced cable lengths as short as possible.
If a match box is not available, connect an un­balanced device directly to a NetWave input us­ing the following illustration.

S/PDIF Signals
Digital devices with only an S/PDIF digital out­put can connect to a NetWave input, but only if a 249 ohm resistor is used to impedance match the S/PDIF cable. Install the resistor on the MOD IV housing per the following illustration.
An unbalanced-to-balanced line transformer can alternately be used to interface an S/PDIF signal.

Note 2: Some S/PDIF signals may not work with the NetW av e’s inputs, even with the additional load resistor or a transformer , because of nonstandard levels or protocols in the S/PDIF product.
NETWAVE SAMPLE RATE
NetW ave uses the professional audio sample rate of 48 kHz for all its internal audio mixing and routing. Each digital input has an integral sample rate converter to convert incoming sample rates from 25 to 50 kHz to the console’s internal 48 kHz sample rate.
The console’s digital outputs are normally sample rate converted to 44.1 kHz, but each can be set for 48 kHz output through settings on the multi-switches on the Monitor & Output board (page 2-10 covers the s witch settings).
When the console is used in a stand-alone ap­plication, the console cannot be locked to an ex­ternal time reference. If this is required, then the NetWave must be networked with a V istaMax sys-

tem (the NetWave is automatically synchronized to the VistaMax system’s master clock, which can be externally referenced). Refer to the VistaMax (75-52) or Envoy (75-55) manuals for details.
AUDIO CONNECTIONS
There are eighteen dedicated analog and digi­tal inputs and outputs on the Monitor & Output card. Connections include separate analog and digital outputs for four Program buses (PGM 4 can alternately be set as a local Telco Record out­put), analog inputs for two External Monitor sig­nals, two analog mono mix-minus outputs, three analog monitor outputs for the control room (monitor, host headphone and guest headphone) and three monitor outputs for a studio (monitor host headphone and guest headphone).
system as its input. See Chapter 4, V istaMax Sys­tem, for details.
Any analog or digital input connector can be set to function as two mono inputs rather than as a combined stereo signal through the Mode selec­tor setup control.
LOGIC CONNECTORS
The NetWave console has the following logic connections:
Channel Logic I/O (eight 12-pin MOD IV con-
nectors on each DSP & I/O card)
Control Room Logic (14-pin MOD IV on the
Monitor & Output card) for warning light, ex­ternal mute, dim, and talkback control
Studio Logic (14-pin MOD IV on the Monitor
& Output card) for warning light, external mute, dim, and talkback control
Monitor & Output Card
Connections
Each DSP & I/O card has eight analog and eight digital inputs that are assigned as sources using the DSP & I/O setup controls. When the VistaMax Link is activated, one input (either analog or digi­tal) from each channel is set as a VistaMax source that can be routed to any other VistaMax commu­nity member. Likewise, each channel source can be set to use a routed signal from the VistaMax
Remote timer reset output and ESE or SMPTE input on the clock-timer circuit board in the Console Display assembly
Page 2-23 has block diagrams and pinouts for the four types of NetWave logic interface connec­tors.
The logic inputs are fully isolated by opto-cou­plers and accept logic commands that use +5 to +40 volt logic.
Logic outputs are solid-state “dry-contact relays.” They can switch control signals of up to 60 volts , AC or DC. They cannot directly control warning lamps using 120 VAC. A warning lamp interface must be used to connect the warning lamp.

LOGIC INTERFACE
Logic connector pinouts and block diagrams for the Control Room, Studio, Channel Logic and Timer logic are shown on page 2-23.
Logic inputs are shown on the left side and logic outputs are shown on the right side of the block diagrams. Logic inputs, noted by the (-) symbol, are active low. T hey are isolated by opto-couplers that must be activate by connecting the Enable Logic Inputs pin to +5 to +40 volts.
Most outputs are isolated solid-state relay con­tacts that are commoned together . T he exceptions are the two warning relay outputs which are iso­lated dry contacts. The relay common pin can tie to ground (to generate logic low outputs) or to a logic voltage of up to 60 volts at 350 mA (to gen­erate logic high outputs).
Several +5 volt supply and ground pins are avail­able on each connector, but these should only be used to power isolated accessory panels. Grounds and logic voltages should always be sourced from the peripheral device in order to maintain fully isolated operation.
Control Room Logic
This 14-pin connector has two isolated relay contacts (pins 4 and 5) for controlling a warning lamp interface like the Harris WL-2 or Henry Superelay. It is activated whenever any channel with a Control Room mic as its source is turned On. This action also mutes the Control Room Monitor audio output.
The other three logic outputs (commoned to­gether on pin 10) are: CR dim on pin 12 (acti­vated when receiving talkback), CR mute on pin 11 (activated when the warning output is active), and talkback on pin 13 (activated by receiving a Talk to CR logic command). T hese outputs can be used to control external speaker switching circuitry or be used for tally indicators.
There are two external logic inputs for remotely dimming monitors (on pin 9) or muting the moni­tors (on pin 8). To use these inputs, pin 14 must be tied high (+5 to +40 VDC). T he logic inputs are triggered by being pulled low.
Studio L ogi c
This 14-pin connector has the same connections as the control room connector, except they’re for a talk studio or voice room. There are two isolated relay contacts (pins 4 and 5) for controlling a warn­ing lamp interface like the Harris WL-2 or Henry Superelay . It is activated when any channel with a studio mic as its source is turned On.
The other three logic outputs (commoned to­gether on pin 10) are for studio dim (pin 12), stu­dio mute (pin 11), and studio talkback (pin 13). These can be used to control external speaker switching or be used for tally indicators.
There are two external logic inputs for remotely dimming the studio monitors (on pin 9) or for muting the studio monitors (on pin 8). To use these inputs pin 14 must be tied high (+5 to +40 VDC). The logic inputs are triggered by being pulled low.
Channel Logic
There are eight of these 12-pin connectors on each DSP & I/O card. T hey are typically connected to a remote mic control panel (using Mic logic) or to a peripheral device logic I/O (using Line logic). The type of logic used (Mic or Line) is determined by the setting of the Function parameter . Mic logic is used when CR MIC, CR MIC TLK SRC or STU MIC is selected. All other Function settings use Line logic.
The Channel Logic I/O is associated with ei­ther the A or B channel source by the Logic Ac­tive setup control on the DSP & I/O card. When its LED is lit, the logic connector is active. When its LED is off, the logic is not active.

Microphone Logic
Microphone logic has three main functions: mute the monitor speakers in the room with a “hot” mic; command a hot mic warning light; and acti­vate mic logic functions like talkback and cough.
The warning commands come from the control room or studio logic connectors, but it is the Func­tion parameter setting that tells the monitor logic that the source input is a mic and where that mic is located (control room or studio).
Mic Connections
Microphones must be preamplified to line level before being connected to a NetW av e audio input. Typically, mics are routed through a mic proces­sor to preamplify, equalize and compress or limit their audio. A mic processor can connect to either an analog or a digital input, as either can be set as a mic input.
Mic Logic To/From a NetWave
There are two mic control panels to compliment the NetWave console: a three-button panel with­out talkback control (99-1197, with On, Off and Cough buttons); and a four button panel with talk­back (99-1198, with On, Off, Cough and Talkback buttons). A typical mic and mic panel connection is shown on page 2-26.
To use a mic panel, the Function parameter must be set to CR MIC, CR MIC TLK SRC or STU MIC to assign the source as a microphone. The Logic Active setting must be on (the LED is lit). These settings then allow the panel to turn the channel on and off; to receive channel on and off tallies; to activate the cough and talkback inputs; and to light up the cough and talkback buttons. When the channel is on, the room monitor output mutes, the room warning light comes on and the On but­ton on the mic panel and the channel are lit.
A wiring diagram for a mic panel cable (Harris cable # 90-1875) is shown above. The panel’s

switches (On, Off , Cough, T alkback) connect to the four remote inputs on pins 2, 3, 8 and 9. Pin 4 is jumpered to pin 10 to enable the external inputs.
The switch LEDs connect to pins 5, 7 and 11 with pin 1 supplying ground. T he On Tally output (pin 11) drives the On button LEDs and the Off Tally (pin 5) drives the Off button LEDs. The Cough and T alkback LEDs connect directly to +5 VDC.
To make a custom mic panel, use SPST (single pole, single throw) momentary contact switches with LED indicators. Tie one side of each switch and lamp to Logic Common (pin 1). The other side of the Cough and Talkback lamps are tied together to +5 volts.
Each switch is tied to its logic counterpart (the On switch goes to the On (-) input, pin 9, the Off switch goes to Off (-) input, pin 3, etc. The on/off lamps are tied to their Tally outputs (On lamp to On Tally, pin 11; Off lamp to Off T ally, pin 5).
Tally Common (pin 6) is jumpered to +5 Volts (pin 12). Pin 4, Enable Logic Inputs (+), is also jumpered to +5 Volts on pin 10.
Line Logic
Line logic is used when the source’s Function LEDs are all off (signifying a line input device), or when Telco 1 or T elco 2 is lit.
When that source’s Logic Active parameter is also lit, then the logic functions of pins 2, 5, 8 and 11 change from that of a mic logic to that required by peripheral devices, or line logic.

Pin 2 changes to be a cue switch input that can be triggered by a computer pla yback system or by a remote studio or producer cue switch.
Pin 8 changes to be a ready logic input. This command is used by peripheral devices to auto­matically turn off the channel at the end of some event. When the Off LED CTRL parameter is lit, the ready command not only turns the channel off, it also controls the Off button illumination to indicate that the peripheral is not ready (no Off button light); is cued and ready to play (Off but­ton is lit solid); or that the event has been com­pleted (Off button flashes).
Pins 11 and 5 change to become start and stop pulse outputs to automatically start or stop/pause a peripheral device when the channel is turned on or off. These generate 220 msec contact closures between pin 6 and pin 11 for a start pulse and pin 6 and pin 5 to generate a stop/pause pulse. Whether a single or multiple pulse is output de­pends upon the setting of the Pulse Select param­eter.
Channel Logic I/O and Peripherals
In the basic peripheral logic connection example on page 2-28, active low logic is used, thus Tally & Pulse Common is connected to the logic ground on the peripheral device (labeled Command Com­mon on the Denon CD player in the example).
In the complex logic example shown on page 2-29, activ e high logic is used, thus Tally & Pulse Common connects to +5 VDC.
Note: T his voltage is more typically sup­plied directly by the peripheral device in order to prevent ground loops, but in this example the peripheral is using iso­lated connections.

An external event timer reset command is on the Clock-Timer PC A (J4, pin 3). It connects to a studio or external location Event Timer so it can be reset by the console’s timer reset logic.
This connector also has an external timer reset input, that is typically not used in this applica­tion. A momentary low on pin 1 will reset the Event Timer.
This connector also has the input for a master clock signal on pins 5 and 6. This connection is covered on page 2-9.
CONNECTION GUIDES
Pages 2-27 to 2-30 show the typical connec­tions and parameter settings for: a mic with a mic remote panel; a CD player with remote logic; a computer playback system; and the connections to a VistaMax audio management system.
Note: To ensure the console and periph­eral devices are isolated, use only the isolated control connections. The +5 VDC and logic ground connections are referenced to the console’s power sup­ply and ground. T hese should only con­nect to isolated devices like mic con­trol panels or other Harris Accessory Panels. Connecting these to non-iso­lated devices may result in a ground loop between the console and periph­eral.
Peripheral devices can turn off the channel
through the Ready logic input. This input performs

VISTAMAX NETWORK CONNECTIONS
When the optional VistaMax Link is activated, the NetWave’ s RJ-45 VistaMax Link connection, located next to the DC power connector, connects the console to any available Hub Card facet on a VistaMax or Envoy card frame using a length. It carries 64 audio channels bi-directionally between the NetWave console and the Hub card. Sources from the VistaMax system may also have logic signals associated with the audio to control the console channels. The console channel on and off logic can also control associated logic outputs on the VistaMax system.
The RJ-45 LAN connectors on the rear panel tie the optional Dual Router panels individually to the VistaMax LAN. These can be directly connected to the main network switch (where all of the card frames, RMX BMX Dual Router panels are installed, they can be connected to a small network hub or s witch which in turn connects to the main network switch. Refer Chapter 4, and to the VistaMax (75-52) or Envo y (75-55) manuals, for addi­tional details on Link cables, Dual Router panel LAN cables and for setup and configuration details.

This chapter covers user operation of the
NetW ave console.
Console Overview
The NetWave console consists of: a main frame holding multiple Dual F ader panels and one Moni­tor panel; a Reflective Console Display with ste­reo bargraph meters, a clock, and event timer; and an in-line or rack mount power supply.
DUAL FADER/DUAL ROUTER PANELS
NetWave audio inputs are assigned to one or more buses, level controlled and switched on and off using “channel strip” controls on Dual Fader panels. The standard Dual Fader panel has two separate channel strips for controlling two local source signals connected to the NetW av e console.
When the NetWave is “Linked,” meaning that the console is connected to a VistaMax system, then routed sources may also be set as the
channel’s input. A modified Dual Fader panel, called a Dual Router panel, can take the place of any standard Dual Fader panel to select network sources on the panel. Dual Router panels are iden­tified by two 10-character displays that show the name of the sources active on those two channels.
NetWave-8 consoles ship with four standard Dual F ader panels installed. The NetWave-16 con­sole ships with six Dual F ader panels, but can have eight panels installed (as shown below), while the NetWave-24 ships with nine Dual Fader panels, but can have up to twelve installed.
A Quick Guide to using the NetW av e Dual Fader and Dual Router panels is on pages 3-3 and 3-4.
MONITOR PANEL
This standard panel is installed at the right end of the frame. It has the monitor source selectors and level controls for a control room and a studio. It also has selector buttons to assign a signal to the Aux meter .
A Quick Guide to using the Monitor panel is on pages 3-5 to 3-8.

CONSOLE DISPLAY
The Reflective Console Display is behind the control panels. It has two signal level meters (Pro­gram 1 on the left meter and another source on the right Aux meter). There is also a time of day clock and an event timer on the display.
On the NetWave-16 and NetWave-24, an op­tional display has two additional meters to show Program 2 and Program 3. The other parts of the display match the standard display.
A Quick Guide to using the Reflective Console Display is on page 3-9.
POWER SUPPLY
T he NetW a ve power supply is designed specifi­cally for 24/7 operation and the console should not be powered off since doing so will cause com­plete signal interruption.
The NetWave-24 uses a rack mount supply with a recessed power switch on the front panel to turn the supply on/off. If the supply is turned off, wait at least fifteen seconds before turning the supply back on.
The NetWave-8 and NetW a ve-16 consoles come with an in-line power supply that is typically set within the cabinetry. This supply does not have a switch so it must be unplugged from its A C outlet to turn it off. Again, wait fifteen seconds before plugging it back in.
VISTAMAX INTEGRATION
When the NetWave console has been tied into a VistaMax A udio Management System, an almost unlimited number of audio and audio-with-logic signals become available to the console. On Dual F ader channels , a network signal can be assigned to either the A or B source, with the other source being assigned to a local input signal. On Dual Router channels, the source is always a network signal. The local input can only be used when it is set as a network source signal during console setup.
A VistaMax system consists of sources (analog and digital inputs connected to a VistaMax de­vice) and destinations (an output on a VistaMax I/O card, a NetWave channel input or External input). Regardless of where a source is connected in a VistaMax system, it can be selected and sent to any number of destinations in the system.
On a Linked NetWave console, this means that each channel on the console and the two External inputs are all V istaMax destinations. As such, any VistaMax source could be routed to these desti­nations. To make selecting, and identifying , sources easy on a channel, the Dual Fader is replaced by a Dual Router panel which allows a board operator to select sources on those two channels by using the UP and DWN buttons and the T ake button to find and select a new source.
VistaMax Source Selection
On channels with standard Dual Fader panels, when a network source is its input, the actual Vis­taMax source assigned to the channel can’t be changed on the panel. The source can only be changed by using a VistaMax Source Selector panel or by running a session or macro file on the console’s parent device (this is typically done by engineering or programming). This may even be done on a scheduled basis to change routing ac­cording to daypart. Unfortunately , the source name is not displayed on the channel. T his holds true as well for a routed External Monitor signal. Typi­cally routed signals Dual Fader channels and the external monitor are fixed sources that do not change.
Dual Router panels have access to changing their sources and have a 10-character display to show the source name. Using this panel is covered on page 3-4.
For a more complete description of the VistaMax audio management system, refer to the VistaMax (75-52) or Envoy (75-55) manual.

The event timer displays time in minutes: sec­onds: tenths of seconds. Page 3-8 shows the event timer controls on the Monitor panel.
BARGRAPH METERS
The left-hand meter provides level display for Program 1. When the optional Quad Meter kit is installed, the two middle meters displa y Program 2 and Program 3.
The right-hand meter (Aux) provides level dis­play for a source selected by the Aux Meter but­tons on the Monitor panel (see page 3-6). The A ux meter may also show the cue bus levels when cue is active, although this feature can be defeated b y a setup switch.

Event Timer
An alphanumeric display below each meter iden­tifies the displayed signal by name (PROGRAM 1, EXTERNAL 1, CUE, etc.).
A bargraph meter is detailed below. Each bar segment, from 0 to -30, represents a 1 dB level change between bars. From -30 to -57, each bar represents a 3 dB difference in level. Bars are green from -57 up to -20. The -20 bar is equivalent to the 0 VU setting on a mechanical meter. With a properly set up console this level (-20) results in a +4 dBu analog output.
From -20 to -3 the LEDs are yellow. Signal lev­els should always peak in this area. The 0, -1, and
-2 bars are red to indicate the signal is danger­ously close to clipping. To prevent digital distor­tion on the outputs, the red bars should rarely, if ever , light up—especially the 0 bar since this indi­cates the signal is at, or is attempting to go be­yond, Full Scale Digital (the absolute maximum digital signal possible).
Left Channel Level

The meters can be set to display the average signal level only (a solid moving bargraph indi­cates the average signal level) or both av erage and peak signals (a solid bargraph is the average level with a single bar , typically 6 to 10 dB higher than the average bargraph, being the peak level).
The two blue peak indicators light up in either mode to indicate when the signal is too high. The level where the blue peak indicators turn on (0,
-2, -4 or -6 dBFS) and the meter display mode (peak hold, where the highest peak bar stays lit for about 3 seconds, or non-peak hold, where the peak more accurately follows the signal), are set during installation.
NetWave Applications
The NetWave console is a very flexible on-air, production, newsroom or voicing studio console that may be installed as a stand-alone console or as a Linked console that is an integral part of a VistaMax audio management system.
Because of its flexibility and its compact design, some features, especially when the console is Linked, require knowledge beyond the basic con­sole operations of selecting which bus to assign the channel to, running the fader up and turning the channel on. Here’s an overview of some of these operator features.
STAND ALONE OPERATION
When the NetWave is not networked with a VistaMax system, there are two sources a v ailable to each channel: A and B. These are local sources that connect directly to the console.
The active source is identified by the lit source selector button and channel label (A/B or, if cus­tom labels are made, the name of the input). Blank labels are supplied as part of the installation kit, so source name labels can be used in place of the A and B labels to identify the inputs.
To change the source, press the unlit source but­ton (A or B). The Take button will start flashing. Press the Take button, while its is flashing, to change the source. If Take is not pressed within three seconds, the T ake button deactiv ates and the source change is cancelled. When the source is changed while the channel is on, the channel is forced off and then the source is changed.
One source on each channel may have logic con­trol associated with it. There are two types of Net­W a ve logic control: mic control, which ties to con­trol panels associated with studio or control room microphones; and peripheral device control, for equipment like computer playback systems, phone editors, CD pla yers or MD players .
For a microphone, the mic panel can turn the channel on and off. Each panel also has a Cough button to momentarily mute the audio without turning the channel off. Mic panels for hosts and co-hosts may also feature a fourth button (Talk­back) that is used to talk to the control room from a studio mic, or talk to the studio from a control room mic. The board operator can talk to the stu­dio by pressing the Talk to Studio button on the Monitor panel.
For peripheral devices, the channel On button typically causes the peripheral to start playing an event, like a song or a spot. The peripheral may alternately cause the channel to turn on when an event starts. It may also turn the channel off when the event ends for semiautomatic operation. The peripheral may also control the Off button light­ing for the channel to indicate the peripheral’s sta­tus (no Off light indicates the peripheral is not ready , a steady Off light indicates the peripheral is ready, and a blinking Off light indicates the event has completed).
The Monitor panel is used to assign a bus or external signal for the board operator headphones and for the control room and studio monitors. In most on-air applications, the air monitor signal
HARRIS CORPORATION

Revision A • 6/06

3 Using NetWave
will be assigned to one of the external monitor inputs. The other external input typically is from a synthetic air signal to simulate the air signal processing, but without an y delay . Alternately , one of the program buses may be monitored for a non­delayed signal.
Two channel sources may be assigned as Telco inputs. These are special channel sources, with added functionality, that are covered in more de­tail in the following sections.
TELCO / CODEC OPERATION
Each NetWave console can have two channel sources set as Telco 1 and Telco 2. Typically, the inputs come from telephone callers or from live remotes (in the NetW a ve “T elco” refers to any type of two-way device, including telephone hybrids, satellite transceivers, ISDN codecs and two-way radios).
Each Telco device has a Caller, or From Net­work, output that connects to the Telco channel input. A NetW a ve the console back to the Send, or To Network, in­put on the Telco device.
The console’s two mix-minus outputs are also called foldback outputs. No matter which bus is assigned to these outputs, the audio is always mi­nus the Telco audio (hence the term mix-minus). On earlier analog consoles, this mix-minus out­put would be manually created by the board op­erator through bus assignments, but on the Net­Wave the mix-minus output is always correctly derived by the console, regardless of which bus is selected on the two Telco channels.
Since the board operator can also talk to either mix-minus output, the outputs are also called IFBs (for Interruptible Fold Back outputs). The board operator can talk to either mix-minus output by pressing and holding that Telco channel’s active On or Off button. The button blinks rapidly while pressed to indicate talkback is active.
mix-minus
output then connects
Linked NetWave consoles have two dual-chan­nel mix-minus outputs that go to the VistaMax system. One channel is the same IFB mix-minus output as from the console, while the second is a
clean feed
mix-minus output. To use this dual mix­minus output, the console must be linked to a Vis­taMax system and the Telco device’s Send, or To Network, input must be connected to a VistaMax or Envoy I/O card. T his type of connection is most often used with dual channel ISDN remotes where the IFB output goes to the talent headphones at the remote while the clean feed goes to a PA sys­tem at the remote broadcast site.
The two T elco channel sources should ha ve been identified by custom labels during installation (in lieu of the standard A and B labels). But, if not, the two Telco channels have one distinctive fea­ture: one bus assignment button will be winking because, on the two Telco channels, the bus as­signment buttons are multipurpose. They not only assign the Telco channel to one or more buses, they also set which bus is used to create the mix­minus signal. In addition, the buttons also iden-

tify whether or not that Telco channel is being sent to the Telco Record output. It’s a bit complicated but, the following sections should clear things up.
THE TELCO MIX-MINUS OUTPUT S
The two mix-minus outputs are always a main bus (PGM 1, PGM 2, PGM 3, PGM 4 or Offline) assigned on the Telco channel. Every channel as­signed to the mix-minus bus (including the other Telco channel) appears in the mix-minus output, but always minus that Telco channel.
Which bus is the mix-minus signal is identified by a
winking
for each Telco channel. A winking button (the but­ton is on, dims, then is full on) indicates two things: first, that it’ s the mix-minus bus, and second, that it’s also feeding the Telco Record output.
A blinking button (where the button is lit, then goes off, then is lit again) also indicates the mix­minus bus, but it also says that the T elco channel is not assigned to the Telco Record bus and so will not be recorded.
How is the winking/blinking bus assignment button determined? In part, by whether or not the Auto F oldback mode is active on the console. W ith Auto F oldback off, which is the default setting, the Offline bus has priority , followed by PGM 1, PGM 2, PGM 3, then PGM 4. This means that when­ever the Offline bus is selected on a T elco channel, it will be winking and the mix-minus output for that Telco will be the Offline bus. Also, when Auto Foldback is not active, the Telco channel’s on/off status does not affect the mix-minus bus selec­tion—if Offline is active it’ s the mix-minus bus.
When the console has Auto Foldback active, Offline goes to the mix-minus output whenever the T elco channel is off. T urning the Telco channel on automatically switches that mix-minus signal to the lowest number program bus assigned on the Telco channel. T urning the channel off, returns the mix-minus to the Offline bus.
or

bus assignment button
Note that the mix-minus output can differ in level substantially when changing between the Offline bus and one of the Program buses. This is because the offline bus is pre-switch and typically pre-fader (although it can be set to be post-fader during console setup), whereas the Program buses are always post-switch and post-fader.
Telco Operatio n w ith Auto Fo ldback Active
When the console is set up with Auto F oldback active, each Telco channel’s foldback mix auto­matically toggles between an assigned program bus while the channel is on and the Offline bus while the channel is off.
When the Channel is On: PGM 1 is the foldback mix source. If it’s not assigned, then the source is selected in this order; PGM 2, PGM 3, PGM 4, then Offline.
When the Channel is Off: The Offline bus is the foldback mix bus. If it’s not assigned (unlit) then there is no foldback audio—except for talkback.
Setting Auto F oldback active is most often used for call-in contests or interviews where a caller will go live to air . Typically , only the talent or board operator’s mic channel and the caller ’s Telco chan­nel are assigned to Offline. While the Telco chan­nel is off, the caller can hear the talent/board op­erator thru their mic feeding the Offline bus. The talent can hear the caller by assigning the T elco channel to cue. In this setup, the caller can hear the talent mic all the time, unless it is unassigned from the Offline bus.
If, while the caller is waiting to go on-air, they must listen to something like a “contest rules and regulations” recording, then it is best to only as­sign the recording playback channel and the caller to Offline. The talent can then press the caller’s Off button to talk to the caller , or they could mo­mentarily assign their mic to Offline to talk to the caller without pressing Telco talkback.

When the caller then goes live on-air (the T elco channel is on), the foldback automatically s witches to PGM 1 (assuming the air feed is the Program 1 bus) so that the caller hears everything else going out on-air minus their own voice.
Auto Foldback Off (default operation)
When Auto Foldback is off, the Telco channel has a different bus priority order for selecting the foldback feed.
When the Channel is On or Off, the primary foldback source is Offline. If it is not assigned, then the program buses are used in this order: PGM 1, PGM 2, PGM 3, PGM 4.
Auto Foldback Off is the most common setting for recording callers for later broadcast or for a live remote where a “broadcast” feed to the remote site is required.
In a remote broadcast, when the remote talent channel goes from off-air to on-air, the foldback mix should not change. In this case, select only PGM 1 on the Telco channel and the PGM 1 foldback will always be sent to the remote, regard­less of whether the channel is on or off. If a special remote broadcast mix is required, construct it us­ing the Offline bus and it will be the foldback feed, regardless of the program bus assignments and whether the channel is on or off.
TELCO RECORD OUTPUT
A two-channel Telco Record output, with the
caller
on the left channel and the nus bus) on the right channel, is av ailable for use with phone call editors like the VoxPro®.
The console does not have a dedicated local T elco Record output, but the Program 4 analog output can alternately be assigned as the Telco Record output. Linked consoles have the stereo Telco Record output as one of their network signals.

The two Telco channels will be recorded onto the left channel when both are assigned to the Offline bus. If either is not assigned to the Offline bus, then it will not be recorded.
When a program bus is the record mix source, only those channels (including the Telco channel) that are turned on and assigned to the record mix bus will be recorded.
Auto F oldback is active:
In this mode, the record mix source follows the on/off state of the two Telco channels. When both Telcos are on, then PGM 1 is the primary record mix (if it is not assigned, then PGM 2, PGM 3, PGM 4 or Offline is used in that order). When both Telco channels are off, then Offline is the record mix source.
Note: Offline feeds are always pre-switch. They are normally set as pre-fader , but may be changed during console setup to be post-fader.

audio management systems. Two Monitor panel

light up when the NetWave is properly linked
with a VistaMax system. If the two labels are not
lit, the information in this chapter does not apply
to that NetWave since it is not a linked console.
Linked NetWave Consoles
and

With both labels lit, the third step is to con­figure the NetWave’s parent device to add the NetWave, and any Dual Router panels that were added, to the VistaMax system. To do this the VistaMax system must be running 500-series (501.50 or later) operating system code; the Vis­taMax Control Center (VMCC) setup software must be build 2065 (or later); and Community
)
Monitor (CM) must be version 3.55 or later.
If the VistaMax system is new, all of these should be correct, but when the NetWave is be­ing added to an existing VistaMax system, the system devices may be running older software. The current versions for each of these programs (as of the ship date of the console) was supplied with the console on the 99-5001 NetWave CD­ROM. Even newer versions of each program may be available on the Harris PR&E FTP site (ftp.pre.com). See the Service chapter (page 5-
1) for information about logging into this site.
The first step to link a NetWave console to a VistaMax system is to install the optional Link Activation Kit (99-1425). After installation, the Monitor panel’s to indicate the kit was properly installed.
The second step is to physically link the Net­Wave to a VistaMax or Envoy card frame. This card frame becomes the NetWave’s parent de- vice, which means it controls the routing of linked signals to/from the console. The console’s rear panel Link jack connects to any available Hub card facet using a CAT-5e or CAT-6 cross­over cable. Cable runs up to 300 feet [100M] are supported. Once connected, a second Moni­tor panel label, cate a good connection has been established.

LINKED NETWAVE FEATURES
NetWave consoles linked to a VistaMax sys­tem have these added features:
• Each NetWave channel is assigned a spe­cific VistaMax destination on its parent device (the VistaMax or Envoy card frame with the Hub card that the console con­nects to). Any A or B channel source can now use a routed VistaMax signal (even one with logic) as its input, in addition to selecting between the local analog and digital inputs.
• One input from each channel (analog or digital) is a VistaMax source—regardless of whether the local input is being used on the console. This signal can then be selected and routed to any VistaMax sys­tem destination, independent of how it is used on the console.
• Both External Monitor selectors are as­signed specific VistaMax destinations so that air monitors or other signals can be routed to the console. Either, or both, can be set to use the routed signal in lieu of the local input connection.
• The four program buses are VistaMax sources that are available for routing to any VistaMax destination.
• The cue bus, in stereo, is a VistaMax source available for routing to any Vis­taMax destination.
• The Telco Record output is a VistaMax source available for routing to any Vis­taMax destination.
• The two Telco mix-minus outputs are also VistaMax sources, but the routed signals are dual-channel: one channel is a clean mix-minus feed, the second is an IFB sig­nal (the same signal used on the local mix-minus outputs).
To activate these various new features, the NetWave console, through its parent VistaMax or Envoy card frame, must be configured using VMCC.
Linked NetWave Setup
To set up a newly linked NetWave console, the correct versions of Community Monitor (CM) and the VistaMax Control Center (VMCC) must be installed (as listed on page 4-1) and running on the VistaMax system’s setup computer; the NetWave console’s

4 Name and Define the Console Signals
Once the device settings are edited, the sig­nal names and modes can be defined for the two types of console signals: sources and des­tinations. To access the signal name entry panes, click the + button next to the NetWave console name in the Explorer pane to open the console tree. Click the Signal Summary + button, then highlight
Sources
to bring up
the following VMCC display:
NetWave Source Name Entry Pane in VMCC
Each Signal Summary pane (Sources and Destinations) allows the default In Room Name, Community Name, and Description to be edited, and each Link w/Next and Hid­den column checkbox to be checked or un­checked, as required, for each source and des­tination.
By default, all sources and destinations are linked stereo signals with the right channel hidden. To change a signal like a mic input to mono, uncheck the Link w/Next column box for the left channel of the signal. If the right channel input will also be used, then uncheck its Hidden column box.
The Sources pane shows the signals from the NetWave that the VistaMax system sees. These include one input from each channel (which input is used, analog or digital, is de­fined by the DSP & I/O card channel setup buttons) along with the various program, cue and Telco signals. The In Room Names are what appear in VistaMax selector panels and Dual Router panels throughout the system when Tier Naming Convention 1 is used. The In Room Name can be up to 10 alphanu-
meric characters long. Spaces, dashes, under­lines, forward and back slashes, and periods are allowed in these names. On stereo sig­nals, only the left name is used. Typically, the Description column and the names for the various bus signal names are left at their de­fault settings. Note that duplicate names are allowed, so use care to create unique names in order to prevent signal selection confusion that duplicate names could cause.
Community Names are only used when Tier Naming Convention 2 or 3 is used. The Com­munity Name is limited to four characters since up to six characters are used up by the Tier 2 and Tier 3 name prefixes. These nam­ing conventions are typically only used when multiple stations are networked together in large VistaMax systems. When Tier 1 is used, the Community Names are not used and can be left at their defaults. For additional infor­mation on Tier Naming Conventions, refer to the VistaMax or Envoy manual.
The Destination pane shows the signals com­ing from the VistaMax system going to the channels and to the external monitor selec­tors. Their In Room Names are only used during setup and on Source-Destination se­lector panels, so these are normally left at their default settings.
5 Setup D ual Rout er TINI Cards
If one or more Dual Router kits were in­stalled, then they need to be setup at this time. When the community was inspected, the Dual Router TINI cards were listed in the Explorer pane as SSD_1_1 (a dual source selector that controls two destinations). Each TINI must now be: given a unique name (typically iden­tifying the two Dual Fader channels it con­trols, e.g., CH_3_4); assigned to a Parent Device (the same parent as the NetWave con-

sole) and; given a unique device IP address. This information should have been written on the TINI card’s antistatic package label when the TINI was installed into the Dual Fader panel.
Once this information is entered into VMCC, right click on the TINI’s name in the Ex­plorer pane to pop up the
selection box to define the device as
Router
a Dual Router panel. The TINI’s icon will automatically move under the parent device and be selected (if not, expand the parent device, then click on the Dual Router TINI to open up the device pane).
The Parent Device selection box will again be empty, so click the down arrow to select which NetWave console the panel is installed in (in the example, NetWave_16). Assign each of the Dual Router TINI cards in like man­ner.

Binding the TINI cards to a Dual F ader Panel
The TINI cards appear under the NetWave
consoles in the
Dual Routers
branch. The TINI cards can now be “bound” to the two Dual Fader channels that each TINI controls. First, click on a Fader to open up its Binding Pane, then click on the down arrow in the
Fader
entry box to show which TINI cards
Bind to
are available to be bound to those two chan­nels. In the above example, only TINIs CH_3_4 and CH_5_6 can be selected since CH_1_2 has already been bound to Faders 1 & 2. Since
Faders 5 & 6
are selected, high­lighting CH_5_6 selects that TINI to bind to those two channels.
Setting the TINI’ s P arent Device in VMCC
Once all TINIs are redefined as Dual Router panels, in order to have them now appear under their own consoles (instead of under the consoles’ parent devices) requires that the VMCC community be reopened. Select

6 Setup the Dual Router Parameters
Once a TINI is bound to a pair of channels, the Sources and Macros entry boxes are popu­lated with the VistaMax devices and their sources that are available to the NetWave console’s parent device. From these lists of signals, only those sources and macros that are typically selected for each channel should

be selected and then included, by clicking the double right arrow button (>>). Any Dual Router channel can see the complete list of sources by using the channel’s Include All function, so keep the Include list short so that board operators don’t have to search through a long list to find a desired signal.
In the example, on the previous page for Faders 5 & 6, channel 5 includes three mac­ros, which show up in the list along with the signals (hence the ! at the beginning of their names to differentiate them from signals). Macros are special setup files that run on the console’s parent device.
NetWave macros are typically used to set up Telco channel routing when multiple Telco devices are shared between studios. In this case, the macro file includes a route com­mand for the Telco device’s
From Network
output to channel 5 and a route command to route the mix-minus output for that Telco channel to the
To Network
input on the Telco
device.
7 Provision Files
Once the NetWave signals are defined and the TINI cards are associated with channels and the channel include lists are created, these new settings must be used to create new con­figuration files by Provisioning new files.

munity Explorer window. The files can be double checked in the right pane by select­ing one of the files to view, by clicking the + button next to the console’s parent name, to drop down a list of the setup files VMCC cre­ated. Even though the NetWave console is also shown in the list, no files are sent to the console since all of its configuration infor­mation resides in the files that are on the parent device.
Highlight a file name, like the Edge De­vice Info shown above, to display the file con­tents in the right hand Provision Editor pane. Even though files can be manually edited in the provision editor pane, this should NOT be done on a normal basis as any edits will be overwritten the next time the

7 File Distribution
After double checking the provisioned files, the final step is to distribute the provisioned files to the console’s parent device. Clicking

SIGNAL SETUP DETAILS
This section presents additional details about the NetWave signals and their VMCC settings, as previously outlined in the step-by-step instruc­tions.
In Room & Community Names, Description
The In Room Name identifies the signal in Source Selector and Dual Router panels by us­ing up to ten alphanumeric characters.
The Community Name is a four -character name that identifies the signals on other community members’ consoles or edge device source selec­tors. It follows a Call Group prefix (which is set in the console’s parent device main pane) and the Name Radix (set in the community pane).
The Description column is used to identify the signal in other VMCC screens. It is not used within the VistaMax system.
To edit signal names and definitions, click on the In Room Name, Community Name or De­scription and edit them as required. If too many characters are entered, or if an illegal charac­ter is entered, a red exclamation point and er­ror warning box will be shown allowing the er­ror to be corrected or the entry to be discarded.
Signal Format (Stereo or Mono)
All NetWave AMP MOD IV audio connec­tors (analog and digital) carry two signals. By default, each connector is defined as a stereo connection with the left, or first signal, assigned an odd signal number and the right, or second signal, being assigned the next even signal num­ber. Stereo linking ensures the two signals are treated as one source or destination for proper phase, timing and signal routing.
This stereo relationship is set by a checkmark in the
Link w/Next
nal as being stereo linked with the next signal. Typically, this is done on an odd-numbered sig-
column, which sets the sig-
nal with the next even numbered signal to en­sure the two signals are on one connector.
To change a stereo signal into two mono sig-
nals, remove the checkmark in the
Link w/Next
column by double-clicking on it. The two sig­nals will now be treated as two separate mono signals. When a mono signal is routed to a Net­Wave channel strip, it automatically appears on both the left and right channels.
Hidden Signals
On stereo signals, the right channel is
Hidden
so that only the one name (the left channel’s) appears in source selector lists. A Hidden sig­nal is one with a checkmark in the
Hidden
col­umn. This means it is not available to be added to any signal include list.
To change the
Hidden
status, double-click on the checkmark to remove it, or double-click in the empty box to add a checkmark.
A quick way to set the checkmarks for an en­tire console is to click once to highlight a col­umn entry and then use the keyboard space bar to check or un-check that check box. Use the keyboard up and down arrow keys to quickly step through the list, pressing the spacebar as required to toggle the check box status.
Included Signal Lists
Only those signals without checkmarks in the
Hidden
column can be added to any include list. An Include List defines a group of signal sources or destinations. Include lists are used in the routers.ini file, the edgedevice.ini file, the init.mac file and in macro files. The source in­clude list sets which signals are available for routing (i.e., in the edgedevice.ini file they set which ones are shown in the Dual Router and source selector displays). The destination include list, in the routers.ini file, sets which destina­tions can have signals routed to them.

To edit the NetWave console’s signal list, highlight its parent device’s name, then high­light the NetWave console’s name in the Source Include Signals list. All of the unhidden source names appear in this list. Using standard Win­dows selection techniques, select the desired sig­nals, then click the double right arrow key (>>) to add these signals to the parent device’s In­clude Signals list. This makes the selected sig­nals available to be routed to any VistaMax destination.
Repeat this procedure for the Destination In­clude List. Typically only the channels with Dual Router panels are included in this list.
To remove any sources from the Include List, highlight the signals then click the double left arrow key (<<).
Macro Files
Macro files are text files with the suffix .mac. Macro files created for the NetWave console are stored in the SesFiles folder on the VistaMax Server (storage card/DATA/SesFiles) assigned as the parent device for that console.
Macros can be created on the setup computer, or another computer, using a text-only editor like Windows® Notepad, and then transferred using FTP Voyager (or other FTP program) to the Vis­taMax server.
Note: Macros can cause multiple au­dio and logic routes to occur when they are taken. They could also cause ses­sion or macro files to be loaded on any device in the system. Needless to say, macros are very powerful, caus­ing signal routing changes to take place that may affect other users in the VistaMax system, so they should always be used with caution.
NETWAVE SIGNAL NUMBERS
Macro files use signal numbers to define sources and destinations. Thus, an understanding of how signals are identified in the NetWave console is essential. T he the 99-5001 CD-ROM lists every possible Net­Wave source and destination signal number in a spreadsheet. A signal has one of 96 possible sig­nal numbers, corresponding to which Hub card facet the Link cable is plugged into and which card frame slot the Hub card is in.
The examples that follow all show one Net­Wave console plugged into the card frame de­fined as device 40. The console’s Link cable is plugged into facet 4 of Hub card 0.
The first page of the
netwave_signal_numbers.pdf
Wave console’s sources for Hub 0, facet 4, as being signal 257 (the console input set as Source 1, left channel) to signal 320 (cue, right channel).
Pages 4 thru 6 of the PDF file show the desti­nation signal numbers for NetWave consoles. Sources and destinations use the same number set, thus, for Hub 0, facet 4, destination 257 is the left-most Dual Fader channel (channel 1) while destination signal 308 (which is the highest desti­nation on a NetW av e-24 console) is the right chan­nel of External Monitor 2.
These signal numbers are used by VMCC to generate the setup files, and are shown in the Local Signal # column on the source and destination signal panes. The Device Number is listed on the main pane for each VistaMax device (Net­Wave consoles do not have separate device num­bers, they use their parent’s device number).

DUAL ROUTER SOURCES
For a source to appear on a Dual Router panel, that source must be listed in the parent device’s routers.ini file, as shown at the top of the next page.

[SrcInclude] Include_1_1=D40.65,95,257,259,261,263-287 Include_1_2=D40.M1-6
The above example lists sources and macros on the card frame (device 40), with has one Net­Wave console connected to Hub 0, facet 4. Since this list might also include every source from every device in the VistaMax system, a more manageable list of sources, specific for each channel, is derived from this all-inclusive routers.ini file list. This include list is saved in the edgedevice.ini file, which is also stored on the parent device.
The edgedevice.ini file has a separate include list for each Dual Router channel that limits the number of sources one has to search through to find a useful source for each chan­nel. This example was generated by the settings in the illustration at the bottom of page 4-6:
Include_1_1_1=D40.71,73,87 Include_1_1_2=D40.M4-6 Include_2_1_1=D40.65-69,77,83,265,267,271
Since each Dual Router panel controls two channels, there are two sets of include lists shown above. The left channel has two entry lines (Include_1_1_1 and Include_1_1_2) which separately list sources and macros. The right channel on the Dual Router panel uses the Include_2_1_1 entry line to define the sources available to that channel.
The routers.ini and edgedevice.ini entries are automatically generated by VMCC, during provisioning, following the signals and macros that were included on the parent device’s main pane and set in the Sources and Macros include pane for each Dual Router channel.
SECTION HEADERS
Macro files consist of sections, which are de­fined by a section header followed by one or more entry lines. The section header defines an
action while the entry lines define what occurs. The most common macro section header used on a NetWave is [RouterCommand_1]. Here is an example of its use:
[RouterCommand_1] take_1=D40.71,D40.265 take_2=D40.315,D40.93
The Router Command section defines routes. There can be only one Router Command sec­tion in a macro, but it can define up to 64 routes, from take_1 to take_64, in numeric order.
For info on using other macro section head­ers, refer to the VistaMax or Envoy manual.
MACRO FILE ENTRY LINES
In the Router Command section, each route is defined by an entry line. Each entry line (take_x=source,destination) must be listed in numeric order and must be on a sepa­rate line. The sources and destination signals are identified by device number, a period and their local signal number (e.g., D40.71).
Comments can be added to macro entry lines to clarify what the entry line is for and help others understand the purpose of the macro:
[RouterCommand_1] take_1=D40.71,D40.265;Hybrid C to CH5 take_2=D40.315,D40.93;MM1 to Hybrid C
Here, the comment lines clarify the two routes between Hybrid C and a NetWave console. This type of route is the most common usage for a macro on a NetWave console. The first line de­fines Take 1, which routes source signal 71 (an I/O card input on device D40, a VistaMax card frame that is the parent device for the NetWave) to destination signal 265. Signal 265, per the VMCC Signal Summary, is the channel 5 input for a NetWave console in Hub 0, facet 4.
Take 2 defines a route to send the mix-minus output of Telco 1 (console source signal 315) to destination signal 93 on device 40.
4-11
HARRIS CORPORATION
Revision A • 6/06
Page 72
4 Linking the NetWave
When this macro is taken, the signal from the Telco device (input 71 on a card frame) is routed to channel 5 (this channel 5 source was defined as Telco 1 during console setup). The Telco 1 mix-minus signal is then routed to the Telco device connected to output 93 on the card frame.
Each route in a Router Command section is taken, in order, when the macro file is loaded or taken. Macros can be loaded by using a com­mand line interface on the setup computer or by taking the macro, just as if it were a source, on a Dual Router or a Source Selector panel.
Routes taken by a macro file are continuously maintained until another macro file is loaded that changes the source-to-destination routing or when a new source is selected on a Dual Router or a Source Selector panel for the desti­nation. Routes are held, even if the console or its parent device loses power, by a “persistence file” that is constantly being updated as routes are taken.
Multiple Routes
The macro examples shown so far route one source to one destination, but any one source can be routed to multiple destinations by sim­ply adding additional Take command lines.
However, the converse does not apply: only one signal can be routed to a destination. Rout­ing a second signal to a destination removes the first route’s signal, replacing it with the sig­nal defined in the second route.
NetWa ve Logic Routing
When the channel’s signal source is set as Net Audio with Logic, the routed audio signal from the VistaMax system has logic commands embedded in the audio signal header to control the channel. The commands available to con-
trol a NetWave channel are: channel on/off, cue on, cough, ready, talk to CR and talk to Studio. Any other logic commands assigned in VMCC are ignored by NetWave channels.
VMCC, Showing Studio Mic Input Logic Assignments
Conversely, each NetWave channel sends logic commands to the VistaMax system using the header of that channel’s VistaMax source sig­nal—even when that signal is not the active source for the channel. Typically, the only com­mands used are the channel on and channel off commands. They can be used to trigger VistaMax logic I/O card outputs to send out either Tally or pulse commands.
To do this, the logic signals are routed from the channel to a Logic I/O card using route commands. Here is an example:
[RouterCommand_1] take_1=D40.257,D40.130 take_2=D40.259,D40.131
This shows the first two channels of a Net­Wave (connected to device 40, Hub 0, Facet 4) being routed to the first two timeslots of a logic card in slot 4 of an Envoy card frame (set as device 40). Here the NetWave channel audio is only used as a carrier, since it is the logic com­mands in the header that trigger the logic card outputs. What commands are output were set in the Logic Outputs pane of VMCC.
The VistaMax or Envoy manuals have addi­tional information on VistaMax logic usage.

Console Troubleshooting
There is a diagnostic test mode built into each Dual Fader and Monitor panel that allows each button, fader and rotary pot to be individually tested to verify correct panel operation. It can only be accessed when the panel is first powered by either power cycling the console or by individu­ally unplugging the panel’s red CAT-5 cable.
CONTROL TEST MODE
To enter the Control Test mode on a Dual Fader panel, within three seconds of applying power to the panel, press and release the left channel Off button. To exit the Control Test mode, press the right channel On and Off
To enter Control Test mode on a Monitor panel, within three seconds of applying power , press and release the Timer Stop button. T o exit the Control Test mode, press the Timer Reset and Start but­tons together .
When the Control Test mode is active, pressing any button will alternately light, then turn off, the LEDs in that button.
To verify that each fader or rotary pot element is good, the bus select button LEDs (on the Dual F aders) or the monitor select button LEDs (on the Monitor panel) are used to display the binary out­put from an active fader or rotary pot while it is moved from full off (most or all LEDs are off) to full on (most or all LEDs will be on). The yellow or red label above the active fader or pot is lit to indicate the fader is being moved.
buttons together.
Control Panel Service
Each control panel consists of separate plastic buttons sitting on a conductive plastic contact sheet. These sit on the switchboard PCA, which is fastened to the metal faceplate with a plastic in­lay.
Dual Fader Panel, Fader Test
These LEDs display the fader output in binary code. Typically, all are on when the fader is at full on, and all are off when the fader is at full off.
The red LED above the fader (B or INC ALL) lights to indicate the which fader is being tested.
Monitor Panel, Fader Test
These LEDs display the binary output from the fader or pot under test. Typically, all light up when the fader/pot is at full on, and all are off when the fader/pot is at full off.
The label directly above the fader or pot lights to indicate which fader or pot is being moved.
Control panels are not a field-serviceable assem­bly, but they do have a limited number of field­replaceable parts. All replaceable parts (10-char­acter display and lens, rotary and fader knobs, fader) are listed on page 5-2.
Dual Fader panels can be removed or installed while the console is powered and on-air without causing any audio interruption or noises in the program audio. The new panel assumes the re­moved panel’s button settings when plugged in.

The only thing that ma y change are the fader lev­els since they will assume the new panel’s settings. A replacement panel must be set the same as the panel being replaced if it being replaced while the channel is on-air . It is best to turn off the two chan­nels prior to unplugging the Dual Fader panel.
Before removing a powered Monitor panel, it is recommended that the monitor speaker power am­plifiers be turned off and that headphones be un­plugged.
REMOVING CONTROL PANELS
To remove a control panel from the frame:
1 Use a 2mm hex tool (70-57 or equivalent) to
remove the top and bottom silver hex screws (38-307A). There are two screws top and bot­tom on each Dual Fader panel. T here are three screws top and bottom on the Monitor panel.
2 Move the fader to the bottom of its travel and
use the fader knobs to lift the panel up enough to unplug the red CAT-5 cable from the bot­tom of the panel. On Dual Router panels, a second plugged as well.
Installing Control Panels
To install a control panel into the frame:
1 Remove the blank panel covering the slots
where the control panel is to be installed.
2 Hold the panel so that the
can be plugged into J5 on the panel. On Dual Router panels, plug in the to J3.
3 Lower the panel into the frame so that it sits
level on the top and bottom rails. It may be necessary to adjust or coil the CAT-5 cables

so they do not get pinched under the sides of the control panel.
4 Fasten the panel to the frame using the 38-
307A silver hex screws removed previously.
FADERS
There are no replaceable nor rebuildable parts on NetW ave fader assemblies . T he faders are long­life, conductive plastic, single-element faders used to control a DC voltage. No audio passes through any fader or pot on the NetWave console.
If coffee, soft drink or other sugared liquid has gotten spilled into a fader, remove the fader from the panel as soon as possible. Hold the fader un­der hot running water while moving the fader slider back and forth to dislodge any sugars. Do not use any soap or other chemical to clean the fader . Dry the fader using a hair dryer or heat shrink gun set on a low-heat setting. The fader must be com­pletely dry before placing it back in the control panel.
If the fader movement is rough, either the lubri­cant on the glide rails has evaporated or foreign material has gotten into the fader. If running the fader under hot running water does not help, then the fader must be replaced as the design does not all disassembly or relubrication.
Fader Removal and Reinstalla tion :
1 Remove the control panel with the problem
fader from the frame.
2 Remove the fader knob and the two front
panel fader hex screws (70-57 tool).
3 Press down on the fader slider, or pull on the
fader assembly from below, to unplug the problem fader from the control panel board.
4 Plug the replacement fader into the fader con-
nector using pins 4, 5 and 6.
5 Fasten the fader to the front panel using the
screws removed in Step 2. Snap the fader knob onto the fader slider.

Console Display Service
The meter and the clock-timer boards are lo­cated on the under side of the Console Display, which is a subassembly that is fastened to the main frame behind the control panels.
Removing the Console Display
The console display must be removed from the frame to change display settings, to connect a mas­ter clock or a remote timer reset cable, or to in­stall the Quad Meter Package.
Each of these activities require accessing the meter and clock-timer boards. The console should be powered off while removing and reinstalling the display assembly. Two padded surfaces (shop towels, etc.) are required for this procedure.
To remove the console display:
1.Flip-up the rear connector cover to access
the two 4-40 screws holding the reflector in place. Remove these screws (rear corners of the console display cover).
2.Lift the reflector out of its slot. Handle by
its edges, and set it on a padded surface, to protect its mirrored surface.
3.Remove the console display cover screws
(either two or four 4-40 Phillips screws, top rear ). Remove the console displa y cover by lifting straight up.
4.A smoked display window was sandwiched
between the display cover and the main dis­play subassembly. Set it off to the side.
5.Remove all of the console display subas-
sembly mounting screws (4-40 Phillips) along the front of the subassembly. These sit just above the control panels. Use care when removing the screws.
6.To protect the control panels and console
display subassembly, lay padded material over the top half of the control panels. Lift the console display subassembly up enough to clear the frame, then rotate it forward to lay it facedown onto the padded material.
The console display subassembly is con­nected to the Monitor & Output board by two cables. Do not strain these cables while removing the subassembly and placing it on the control panels.
SAFETY NOTE: Touch the metal chas-
sis to dissipate static before adjusting the multi-switches or plugging in a cable to J4. Do not touch an y compo­nents on the boards other than the multi-switches or connectors.
Reinstall the console display in reverse order, making sure not to pinch any cables between metal parts. Align the smoked display window holes with the clock set holes. The cover display cover holds the window in place.
CLOCK TROUBLESHOO TING
If the clock’s colons are flashing, it indicates the clock has lost its ESE or SMPTE master time­code signal. This signal plugs into J4 on the clock­timer board. If the clock is set to run autonomously, then verify that DS1-2 and DS1-5 are both set to off. See page 2-9 for information on the clock and DS1 switch settings.
Even though the ESE/SMPTE input on the clock is balanced, polarity of the incoming signal is important. If reversed, the master clock signal will not be detected. The + or hot lead must con­nect to J4, pin 5 and the - or shield lead must connect to J4, pin 6.

METER TROUBLESHOOTING
Each meter is coupled through the clock-timer board for power and signals. There is a flat cable that connects the clock-timer (J6) to the Monitor & Output board (J23). If neither meter is work­ing, shut down the console and remove the Con­sole Display subassembly and check that the meter and clock-timer boards are firmly connected and that both boards are securely fastened to the dis­play assembly. Check that the flat cable is prop­erly plugged in at each end. Also check that the switches on multi-switch DS3 on the meter board are fully set to their on or off positions. The de­fault settings for NetWave is all switches are set to their off positions.
48-Volt Supplies
Periodically check that the vent openings on the 99-1205 rack mount supply are not blocked and that there is no dust buildup on the top cover open­ings. On the 50-27 in-line supply, periodically check that it is not covered up by any materials like cables, papers, etc. It relies on a free air flow around it to keep it cool.
The green LED on the front of the rack mount and on the top of the in-line power supply indi­cates its 48-volt DC output is good.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the power supply. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
POWER SUPPLY CONNECTIONS
The in-line supply (50-27) has a captive DC output cable while the rack mount supply has a detachable DC cable. Both use the pinouts shown below for the 90-1858-1 cable (the interconnec­tion cable from the 99-1205 supply to the con­sole).

Product Description
The +48 volts from a 99-1205 or a 50-27 power supply plugs into J21 on the Monitor & Output card. When a redundant supply is used, a 90-1995 Redundant Coupler couples the two power sup­plies into the NetW a ve through a pair of low-volt­age dropping Schottky diodes.
48 volts is fed to the DSP boards, along with the various system bus signals using 50-conduc­tor flex cables. These tie the Monitor & Output card and the DSP & I/O cards together in series. The last DSP & I/O card (the DSP & I/O card farthest from the Monitor & Output card) has a 100 ohm resistor pack plugged into RN1 to ter­minate the bus signals.
The +48 volts is routed to each control panel using pins 4 and 5 of the RJ-45 connectors. Pin 7 is the 48 volt return. A balanced clock is on pins 1 and 2. Pins 3 and 4 are the bidirectional data lines . Pin 8 is used to sense that the panel is present.
Each card and panel has several DC-to-DC con­verters to convert the +48 volts into the various DC voltages required by the panels and cards. These include ±17 VDC for analog circuits, +5 VDC for digital circuits, and +3.3 VDC for FPGA circuits.
Red CA T-5 cables (12" long, shown below) con­nect the control panels to the DSP & I/O cards. The Monitor panel plugs into J28 on the Monitor & Output card. Each Dual Fader panel position has a red CAT-5 cable plugged into a labeled jack on a DSP & I/O card. Each position in the frame has a red CAT-5 cable supplied with the frame.
Each DSP & I/O card handles the signals from eight channels. Channel control is done by the control strips on the four Dual Fader panels (two channels strips per panel) that plug into that DSP & I/O card.
The Monitor & Output card also has DSP to sum the various system buses and create the physi­cal outputs from the console. The monitor & Out-

MONITOR & OUTPUT CARD STATUS
There are two LEDs near the right end of the
card to indicate operational status:
• F AIL is off when the system is operating nor-
mally. If it is on, it indicates abnormal operation.
• DSP CLK blinks with a “heartbeat rh ythm” to indicate the on-board DSP is active and commu­nicating with the DSP & I/O cards.
The Reset button can be pressed to reset the console if unexpected operation occurs. This is equivalent to power cycling the console.
The Link connector has two LEDs (green and yellow) to indicate a good connection to a Hub card facet on a VistaMax or Envoy card frame. In addition, the Monitor panel label lights when a CAT-5 cable is properly connected to a Hub card using a crossover CAT-5e cable.

DSP CARD STATUS
There are two LEDs near the right end of each DSP & I/O card that indicate operational status:
• DSP A CTIVE blinks with a “heartbeat rhythm” to indicate the DSP is active. The left-most DSP card’s LED will flash twice as fast as the LEDs on the other DSP cards and the Monitor & Output card to indicate it is the master DSP card.
• FAULT is off when the system is operating normally. If it is on, it indicates abnormal opera­tion on that DSP & I/O card.

The 99-1215 has six outputs (typically for one host and five guests, but in this application for one host, four guests and one studio monitor am­plifier) that connect to Harris 99-1214-x head­phone panels using CAT-5 cables.
The following illustration shows how to use the 99-1215 headphone system with the NetW a ve. The three inputs (Host, Co-Host and Guest) connect to the NetWave console studio outputs: Host HP, Monitor and Guest HP. By properly setting the two rear panel switches (S1 and S2) per the illus­tration, the headphone amp outputs are assigned as: Host (#1), studio monitor (#2), and up to four Guests (outputs #3 to #6).

NOTES:
1. Mount this panel below the countertop, or inside the studio cabinet rack space holding the power amp, mic processors, headphone amp, etc. The 42" long host Monitor Fader wiring plugs into this panel.
2. Make a 1/4" TRS adapter cable (tip is the left channel, ring is the right channel) to go from the 99-1214-1 jack to the studio monitor power amp. For most applications, the unbalanced signals easily drive balanced amp inputs. If in doubt, use an unbalanced to balanced line adapter.
3. To set the monitor output levels on an amplifier with trim or level controls: adjust the amp controls to full off. Set the Monitor fader on the studio panel to 0 (full on). Set the console Studio Monitor pot to maximum. Assign a signal to the Studio Monitor output, then adjust the amplifier controls for the desired loudest level. If the signal into the amp is too hot, adjust the console Studio Monitor pot down until the signal is not being overdriven and leave it in this position.
Use the Monitor fader in the studio to adjust the speaker volume as required. The console logic mutes the monitor audio whenever any studio microphone is on. The output dims when the console talks to the studio. Talk is routed to both the studio speakers and to the host headphones. The guest headphones do not receive talk.

The Dual Fader panel (99-1192), used to con­trol both the host’s headphone level and the stu­dio monitors level, can mount in a Studio Control Turret or in a Harris cabinet plate. When the Net­Wave is part of a VistaMax system, a Two-Posi­tion cable plate (80-1788-2) can be used to also hold a 99-1376 VistaMax Source Selector so the host can also select the monitor source for the stu­dio.
The studio monitor amplifier connects using a 99-1214-1 headphone panel TRS jack. The out­put level is controlled by the Monitor fader on the Dual F ader panel.
The guests plug their headphones into the 99­1214-3 headphone panels which have a volume pot on the panel next to the TRS jack.
ESE/SMPTE Master Clock
As shipped from the factory , the NetW a ve clock is autonomous, running off an internal timebase. The clock can be synchronized to an ESE or SMPTE master timecode signal. To do this requires that the console display be removed from the chas­sis so that a facility-supplied ESE or SMPTE time­code cable can be plugged into J4 on the Clock­Timer board.

Notes: Pins 1 & 2. Typically not connected on a NetWave. This input resets the timer when an active low command is received.
Pins 3 & 4. Connect to a Studio Timer's reset input. This active low output resets the Studio Timer so it stays in sync with the console's timer.
Pins 5 & 6. Connects from a master clock. Any SMPTE, ESE TC-89 or ESE TC-90 master clock can be used. On a balanced connection, connect the high (+) signal to pin 5 and the low (-) to pin 6. There is no shield connection. On an unbalanced signal, connect the center conductor to pin 5 and the shield to pin 6.
4 - GROUND 5 - ESE/SMPTE INPUT + 6 - ESE/EMPTE INPUT -
In addition, DS1 switch settings must be set to activate the timecode input. To use ESE timecode, DS1-2 must be set to On. Either TC-89 or TC-90 timecode can be used. T he clock autodetects which version is being received.
If SMPTE timecode is used, set DS1-5 to on and make sure DS1-2 is set to off. If both DS1-2 and DS1-5 are set on, then the clock is set for SMPTE timecode.
The clock’s ESE/SMPTE signal input is bal­anced, so either a balanced or an unbalanced sig­nal can be used. See the above drawing for con­nection details.

Quad Meter Kit
The standard NetWave console display has two stereo bargraph meters to simultaneously display PGM 1 and another bus or external signal selected by the Meter selector buttons on the Monitor Panel.
On the NetWave-16 and NetW av e-24 consoles, two additional meters, in a Quad meter kit, can be added to simultaneously display PGM 1, PGM 2, PGM 3 and the Monitor Panel selected source.
The 99-1990-16Q kit is for the NetW a ve-16 and 99-1990-24Q kit is for the NetWave-24.
Link Activation Kit
To fully integrate the NetWa ve console into a VistaMax audio management system requires that the Link Activation kit be installed. The kit con­sists of a Link Activation PROM for the Monitor & Output board along with a PROM removal tool and installation instructions.
When installed, the kit activates the VistaMax Link connection on the rear panel of the console so that signals can be routed to and from the con­sole and an Envoy or VistaMax card frame.
The Harris part number for the Link Activa­tion kit is 99-1425.
Dual Router Kit
On NetWave consoles that have had a Link Ac­tivation kit installed, any channel’s A or B input can be setup to receive a network signal in lieu of the locally connected signal. Which network source is assigned to that channel can be done through a session or macro file run on the parent card frame, or by using a VistaMax edge device (harware source selector or soft panel) to select the source.
Local, console channel source selection, can be added to any pair of fader channels on a NetWave by installing a Dual Router kit.
The Dual Router kit effectively adds a dual source selector to the channels that is specifically setup to control the routed signals for those two channels. If desired, multiple Dual Router kits can be installed in a console for maximum signal source selection flexibility.
The Harris part number for a Dual Router kit is 99-1424.
Logic Wiring
To assist in logic cable design and construction, Harris’ Technical Services Department can supply logic wiring diagrams for many popular peripheral devices.
To assist in installation, Harris also offers pre­made peripheral logic cables for many popular devices. For a vailability and pricing, contact a sales representative.
NetWave Toolkit
Because NetWave consoles typically are used
digital
in conjunction with BMX consoles, and to keep the price of the console at a minimum, no tools are supplied standard with the console.
The tools typically required to isntall or service the console are included in the optional NetWave Tool Kit (Harris part number is 76-1901). The kit contains a ratcheting AMP MOD IV crimp tool, an AMP MOD IV extraction tool, a 2mm hex driver for the fader and panel hex screws, and a Harris logo pouch to hold the tools. Only one tool­kit is required per facility, regardless of the num­ber of consoles.
