1.4 Hardware Configuration
1.4.1 Connections ..........................................................................
Detailed information on the various systems of connection is provided in the relevant Appendix but the following diagram provides
an overview of a single console/ rack setup.
All connections should be made before switching on the console and racks.
The console and racks may each have dual redundant power supplies and both should be switched on at all times. After switch-
ing on the console the software will be launched automatically and the state of the worksurface and settings should be the same
as when it was last Shut Down.
To Shut Down the console press the System>Shut Down button and wait until you receive a message saying that it is safe to
switch the power off.
The SD9 worksurface has 8 analogue I/O and 2 AES I/O L/R pairs on its rear panel and additional I/O is supplied in the form of a
remote D-Rack which has 32 analogue inputs and 8 analogue outputs as standard. This rack is connected to the worksurface by
a 75M STP CAT5e cable. Optionally, 2 D-Racks can be connected to the SD9.
If used with a DiGiCo Little Red Box the CAT5e ports can also be used to connect with BNC MADI equipped consoles.
The console also has a pair of standard BNC MADI connectors (MADI IN & OUT) which can be connected to any of the range of DiGiCo
stage racks (DiGiRack, MaDiRack, MiNiRack or SD Rack) with 75Ohm coaxial cables. This MADI port could also be used to connect to a
MADI equipped recorder.
From Mid 2013, new SD9 consoles can also be fitted with optional Optocore connectors providing the possibility of including an
SD9 in a DiGiCo Optocore loop
The connection for the D-Rack is a single cable from the D-Rack port on the back of the console to the DiGiCo Audio Interface port
on the D-Rack.
In normal operation the MADI connections on Port 3 should be as follows:
Rack MAIN MADI IN connected to the console MADI OUT
Rack MAIN MADI OUT connected to the console MADI IN
