DIGIGRID MGB/MGO
The rst time you launch SoundGrid Studio, the Wizard will open. It scans the network, inventories its assets, and then congures the
devices. If the Wizard does not start automatically, click the Start Auto Cong button, which is next to the Network Port.
Choose “NEXT” to start automatic conguration. This will take a few moments. Choose “CANCEL” to congure manually.
If the Wizard cannot locate the requested SoundGrid network devices, this means the devices
might be o or not connected properly. In such a case the Wizard will allow you to rescan the
network or work as a Driver node slaved to another system. For more information please refer
the SoundGrid Studio User Guide.
When conguration is complete, close the window. If there is still a problem, you can
congure your system manually. Use the System Inventory page to assign devices, control
the network, and manage clock. To learn how to use this page, please refer to the user guides
for SoundGrid Studio and StudioRack.
SoundGrid Studio uses Ethernet to stream audio between devices on a SoundGrid
network. Synchronization clock is also carried over Ethernet—a method called
Sync
over Ethernet
(SoE). SoundGrid I/O devices can clock by other means as well, but SoE is
by far the most common (and convenient) way to provide clock information to network
devices. The rst device added to a rack is designated as the SoE clock master and is
placed in the rst rack slot.
