Loudness Pilot English Manual (2014-10-07) 28
Ethernet interface(s)
Loudness Pilot is equipped with 32 bit Eth-
ernet interfaces fully compliant with the IEE
802.3u standard, supporting 10 and 100 Mbit/s
(100Base-TX ports).
Loudness Pilot has either two, four or six Eth-
ernet ports – depending on the number of 3G
Transmission cards installed.
Connect a computer running TC Icon software
or a hardware TC Icon device to one of these
ports using a “straight-through” cable with 8P8C
modular connectors (“RJ45”). A “crossover” type
cable is not required.
The Ethernet ports are used exclusively for con-
necting a controller (namely a computer running
TC Icon software). No audio signals are transmit-
ted for processing over Ethernet ports.
SDI In Port(s)
Loudness Pilot has either one, two or three SDI
In ports, depending on the number of 3G Trans-
mission cards installed.
The AES versions of Loudness Pilot (balanced/
unbalanced) have no SDI In ports.
Connect the upstream SDI device to an SDI In
socket on Loudness Pilot. Use a coaxial cable
with BNC connectors with a nominal impedance
of 75 Ohms.
Connecting multiple 3G cards
If you are using a Loudness Pilot. with two or
more 3G Transmission cards installed, daisy-
chain the SDI cards as follows:
►
Connect your signal source to the SDI In port
of the first card.
►
Connect the SDI Out port of the first card to
the SDI In port of the second card.
►
Connect the SDI Out port of the second card
to the SDI In port of the third card (if appli-
cable).
►
Connect the SDI Out port of the third/last
card to the next downstream device.
Connecting the Transmission cards as described
here will have them show up as separate devices
in TC Icon. Select and configure each card to as-
sign and process SDI streams as required.
SDI Out Port(s)
Loudness Pilot has either one, two or three
SDI Out ports, depending on the number of 3G
Transmission cards installed.
The AES versions of Loudness Pilot (balanced/
unbalanced) have no SDI In ports.
Connect the downstream SDI device to an SDI
Out socket on Loudness Pilot. Use a coaxial ca-
ble with BNC connectors with a nominal imped-
ance of 75 Ohms.
