Waves eMotion LV1 User Guide | Chapter 1: Setup
ASSIGNING I/O DEVICES MANUALLY
a. Click the arrow in the upper right corner of an I/O device rack slot to open the Devices menu. All devices available to this LV1 are
displayed here. Devices that are currently unavailable are grayed out.
FOH Stage
Assign hardware and software devices to any slot in Racks A or and B. The sequence is unimportant.
b. Select an available device and it will appear in the rack. If this is the only device in the rack, it is by default the clock master and
its icon text is blue. Devices on the SoundGrid network are clocked over Ethernet. This form of synchronization is called “Sync
over Ethernet,” or SOE, so the clock master device in the Device Rack is the SOE master. Now that there is a master clock for the
SOE network, the Network Link and Speed indicators in the Top Bar are no longer red.
Once an I/O has been assigned to a computer, no other computer can access it until it is released by that user. To release an I/O
from your computer, select Remove from the menu.
c. Add more devices in the same manner. They will be defined as clock slaves and their icon text will be green. To designate one
of these added devices clock master, choose Set Master from that device’s drop-down menu. The original clock master
becomes a slave. In our example, the IOX (I/O #2) is the clock master and the other I/Os are slaves whose clocks are
synchronized over SOE. Once an I/O has been assigned to a computer, no other computer can assess it until it is released by
that computer.
