1.4.3 Opto V220 (DiGiRacks) and Opto V221 (SD Racks) .............

SD Series consoles can operate with either one of two different Optocore firmware versions - V220 and V221.

V220 is compatible with DiGiRacks and MiNiRacks and cannot be used with SD Racks or DRacks.

V221 is compatible with SD Racks, SD MiNiRacks, NaNoRacks and DRacks, and cannot be used with DiGiRacks and MiNiRacks.

Note: Any type of rack can be used with an SD Series console if it is connected with Coaxial BNC MADI irrespective

of the Optocore version that the console is using.

Sessions that have been created using Optocore connected DiGiRacks and MiNiRacks can be used with SD Racks and DRacks

but a procedure must be followed to achieve this.

Sessions created using Optocore connected SD Racks and DRacks can also be used with DiGiRacks and MiNiRacks but this also

involves a “conversion” procedure.

Note: For detailed information on Optocore system setup please refer to the SD Software Reference manual
