DIGIGRID DLS/DLI
3.4 I/O Mode: Device Control Panels
Each SoundGrid I/O device has its own control panel. They dier a bit in appearance and function,
depending on the device, but all work in a very similar manner. Control panels allow you to set clock and
sample rate, congure inputs and outputs, and control mic preamps, if applicable. To access a device’s
control panel, click on the Gear symbol next to the device’s rack slot icon
In I/O mode, Pro Tools controls the DLI/DLS, including its clock settings. Pro Tools also controls all I/Os
connected to it, so there is really very little to do in the control panel.
At the top of each Control page is an identication and
management banner that indicates the ports connected
to active devices. This page is also used to load and save
device presets, rescan ports and update clock status, and
identify the hardware device.
Each DLI/DLS device has ve Control pages. Two pages provide information about the unit. The others are used to establish clock
and to set up the device.
■
The About page identies the product and provides basic information about the device.
■
The System Info page provides detailed information about the device: network address, rmware version, and more. This
information is necessary when comparing rmware among several devices, and when contacting customer support.
■
The Clock page is used to set sample rate and sync sources for the device. In I/O mode, the Pro Tools Hardware Setup page largely
takes the place of this control panel. Still, there are a few controls and indicators you should be familiar with.
■
DL Port 1 and DL Port 2 pages are used to control the two DLI/DLS ports. In I/O mode, these functions are controlled entirely by
Pro Tools, so there is absolutely nothing to do in this page.
Control pages are used more extensively in SGP mode than in I/O mode. Refer to the chapter “SGP Mode: Device Control Panels” for
a detailed description of the controls.
