2.1.4 SD9 and SD8 Sharing One D-Rack Setup 2 .......................
In this example, one SD8 acts as analogue gain controller of the D-Rack. The SD9 and SD8 which are connected to the MADI OUT and
RX Only ports on the Little Blue Box will receive all the D-Rack input signals but have no control of the analogue gains. The Receive Only
SD9 and SD8 can have Gain Tracking switched on for each shared input signal's channel and then any analogue gain change made by
the master console will be automatically compensated by the digital trim on the Receive console's channels.
The SD8 with Full Control should be Audio Sync Master and the other SD8 and SD9 should be set to external Audio Sync from the
incoming MADI and CAT5e ports from the Little Blue Box.
Please see section 1.1.5 Full Connect and Receive Only for Rack Sharing for details of other console settings.
