7Systemlatency

The following table lists the systems latency that is to be expected of the VIDA M. These values
are true for the firmware version 1.1.0 and without using beamsteering.

Input K&F VIDA M AUX OUT

Analog 6.016 ms 1.260 ms

AES 44.1 kHz 8.299 ms 3.537 ms

AES 48.1 kHz 8.062 ms 3.313 ms

AES 88.2 kHz 7.302 ms 2.540 ms

AES 96 kHz 7.208 ms 2.448 ms

AES 176.4 kHz 6.830 ms 2.046 ms

AES 192 kHz 6.760 ms 2.000 ms

DANTE n.a. n.a.

When using system amplifiers such as the K&F PLM+ series with the AUX OUT, additional delay
will be added due to the amps signal processing. For this reason, the AUX OUT has the least
amount of delay possible, which leaves room to be adjusted via the VIDA APP.

7.1 Dante latency

The latency for the DANTE playback results from the setup for the DANTE network and the

7.1.1 Example

DANTE controller setup: latency = 0.5 ms, sample rate = 96 kHz

Total latency = 7.208 ms (AES 96 kHz) + 0.5 ms (DANTE) = 7.708 ms

By factory default, the two network ports of the VIDAM are configured for redundant oper­ation. This way, you can route a signal through Dante and two separate cable runs in order to
increase fail-safety.

If necessary, you can change the two ports to the ‘Switched’ mode using the Dante Controller
software. This way, you can route control data and the Dante signal from one speaker to the
next. (This is referred to as daisy-chaining.) In this case, you cannot achieve a redundant con­figuration.

7.1.2 Changing between Dante redundancy operating modes

1. Launch Dante Controller.

2. Double-click the VIDAM to be configured to access the Device View.

3. Click the Network Config tab.

4. Make the appropriate settings in the Dante Redundancy section.

7.1.3 Setting up Dante latency with an additional hop

There is one additional network switch installed inside K&F VIDAM which translates to one
additional hop for the network. Be sure to note this when setting up the Dante latency.

8 Initial Operation

1. Download the VIDAApp from the Microsoft Store and install it.

For this purpose, visit the Microsoft App Store and search for VIDA App.

2. Download the VIDAApp User’s Guide from our website (www.kling-freitag.de).

3. Wire the speaker as previously described. See chapter »Wiring« on page 24.

4. Connect the power supply.

5. Add the speakers to your network.

6. Run the VIDAApp on your computer. At program launch, the Setup screen will be dis­played.

•

By default, the Offline Device is always displayed at the top left corner. Using that de­vice, you can configure settings without physically connecting a speaker. This means
you can create and store “virtual setups” that you can later apply onto your physical
speakers. To configure Offline Devices, press the button on the right-hand side to
select the desired speaker type and number.

•

The Offline Device will list all accessible VIDA speakers and arrays.

•

While the VIDAApp is uploading the settings to the speakers found, green progress
bars will show the upload status for each system.

•

At first use, a red dot appears next to the speaker. In addition, the front LED will light
red. This means that no valid preset could be uploaded, so the speaker is not ready for
operation.

•

In this case, change to the Beam tab.

•

Press the Presets button in the bottom right corner.

•

Load a setup.
If you just want to perform a function check, the Default setup will do. Note that this
preset is for performing function checks only—it is not suitable for sound adjustment.

User's Manual K&F VIDAM

7. To check, change to the Setup tab.

•

When the progress bar is fully displayed and no red dot is shown, the speaker is ready
for operation.

8. For details on speaker configuration and operation, refer to the VIDAApp User's Manual.

9. Output a low-volume signal to the system.

10. Check to see if the desired signals are applied to the intended speakers and make sure
there is no interference.

•

A red progress bar indicates that the speaker has received damaged data packets, or
no data packets at all. In this case, make sure you are within the WLAN service area,
are connected to the correct WLAN, and no other network-related problems exist.

10 Care and Maintenance

The K&F VIDAM system can exhibit signs of wear over the years, for example, from mechan­ical strain, transport damage, corrosion, or improper handling. Signs of wear typically indicate
an increased safety risk.

In general, check the speaker and accessories for signs of wear at regular intervals.

When performing those checks, particularly look for deformations, cracks, dents, damage to
threads, and corrosion. Also check slings and lifts (e.g. shackles, chains, and steel ropes) care­fully for wear and deformation.

If as a result of these checks any uncertainty should arise with regard to safety or defects are
found, don’t use the speaker any longer. Contact your retailer.

Inspection regulations may vary depending on application and country of use. Observe all ap­plicable regulations; If in doubt, contact local authorities.

Many countries require regular inspection of mounting components and accessories. An addi­tional annual inspection is typically required to be performed by a technical expert. Moreover,
a legally certified or official authority must perform a detailed inspection every four years.

Therefore, be sure to maintain an inspection log. Enter the values determined for each speaker
and accessory during the periodic checks into this log. This way, relevant data are always at
hand in case of inspection. This inspection log book shall be updated with the inspection steps,
test intervals and parts lists.
