Head Amp Control with SB168-ES
AD8HR IDs will be assigned automatically in the following manner:
1
st
SB168-ES unit in unicast chain channel 1～8: AD8HR ID 1
1
st
SB168-ES unit in unicast chain channel 9～16: AD8HR ID 2
2
nd
SB168-ES unit in unicast chain channel 1～8: AD8HR ID 3
2
nd
SB168-ES unit in unicast chain channel 9～16: AD8HR ID 4
When remotely controlling SB168-ES units, the 16 internal head amps of SB168-ES will
appear as two AD8HR units in the console’s display.
Note: When remotely controlling both SB168-ES and NAI48-ES units on the same
system, always place NAI48-ES units first in the unicast control chain.
For example, a system having one NAI48-ES and two SB168-ESs, the order of devices in
the unicast chain should be as follows:
MY16-ES64 >> NAI48-ES >> SB168-ES #1 >> SB168-ES #2
The order of the unicast chain refers to the order in which devices are specified in
AVS-Monitor and not the order in which devices are physically connected.
Since the IDs of SB168-
ES head amps are automatically assigned in order of connection
from #1, the ID Start From parameter of NAI48-ES unit must be set so that the IDs of
AD8HR units connected to NAI48-ES follow the last ID assigned to the last SB168-ES.
(In the case of example above, set the ID Start From parameter of NAI48-ES to 5 because
two SB168-ES units are displayed as four AD8HR units (ID#1～4).
