7. Speed
Reports the speed of the SoundGrid network. Options: 100 Mb/sec, 1 Gb/sec, N/A.
Sample Rate Section
8. Sample Rate Selector Menu
The value box displays the sample rate of the SOE clock master device.
Use the Sample Rate drop-down menu to set the sample rate of the SOE clock master. If the
SOE clock master is locked to an outside source (e.g., word clock, digital, SPDIF), then
SoundGrid Studio cannot change its sample rate. Use the device’s control panel to set its
sample rate, which will then report to SoundGrid Studio.
Assignment Racks
9. Device Racks
There are 16 device slots—two groups of eight. The sequence of device assignment is reflected in the Patch
window. Otherwise it is not is not important. Slot 1 in Group 2 is reserved for the local driver. Slot 5 in Group 2 is
reserved for SG Connect assignment.
10. SG Driver Assign Slot
The slot is for the local SG Driver. When you use the Auto-Config wizard, the SG Driver will be installed in this slot,
after you’ve been asked. If you set up the inventory manually, make sure to assign the local driver to this designated
slot. Otherwise, StudioRack offload capabilities will not be available. No other devices can be installed here.
11. SG Connect Assignment
SG Connect lets you connect non-SoundGrid I/O devices to a SoundGrid network. SG Connect can be assigned
only in this slot, and no other device and be assigned here.
12. Servers Rack
Assign one server here.
Control Protocols Rack
Assign up to two control surface devices. A slot with no assignment is labeled “Add Device.”
