Signal/Overload LED meters

indicate the presence of significant audio signal or overload. These 3-segment meters indicate the

available headroom once the analog signal has been converted to digital: -4 dBFS (red, near clipping), -12 dBFS (yellow, high

normal level), and -48 dBFS (green, low level). The analog signal level depends on the input and output settings and is displayed in

Drag Net’s Meter window.

2

AES3 LOCK LED

lights solidly when a valid AES3 digital signal is detected on the AES3 input jack. There does not need to be

an audio signal present at the input, only the “carrier” signal.

3

PRESET LED

displays the number of the most recently recalled Preset, numbered 0 through 24.

4

VIP/VOP LED

flashes when a change is detected on the Versatile Input Port (VIP) or Versatile Output Port (VOP). These ports

are used for direct electrical connections to potentiometers, switches or other logic ports. The Versatile Input Port accepts up to

eight contact closures or voltages; the Versatile Output Port drives eight loads (logic on/off).

5

RW 485 LED

flashes when a change in setting is detected on the RW 485 Remote Interface Port. RW 485 is a serial communica-

tions protocol primarily used for Rane’s Smart Remotes.

6

ETHERNET LED

flashes when an Ethernet data packet for this device is received.

7

Red - initializing (briefly) or possible internal error.

Yellow - working, but not currently processing audio.

Green - processing audio.

8
