About Connections
The diagram below shows typical connections for the RIVAGE PM series. Equipment can be combined in
various ways to construct small systems or large systems.
• Connecting the control surface and DSP engine (Console Network)
A DSP engine has a dedicated connector (TO CONSOLE) for connection to the control surface. A network
created by the control surface and a DSP engine is called a “Console Network.” The Console Network is
connected as a ring. This provides redundancy for both audio signals and control signals.
• Connection between DSP engines and I/O racks (TWINLANe Network)
A DSP engine and an I/O rack are connected via a TWINLANe network, using HY card slot 1. The TWINLANe
Network is connected as a ring. For each ring, a maximum of four (in a DSP mirroring configuration, a
maximum of eight) DSP engines and a maximum of eight I/O racks can be connected.
About the HY card slots
a Each HY card slot 1 – 4 is 256-in/out. A TWINLANe network card will work exclusively in HY card slot 1 or 2 on the
DSP engine (or HY card slot 1 on the CSD-R7). The multitrack recording function will work exclusively in HY card
slot 4 (or HY card slot 3 on the CSD-R7).
b HY card slot 1 of the I/O rack is only for a TWINLANe network card. HY card slot 2 is reserved for Dante/MADI. HY
card slot 1 is 256-in/out, and HY card slot 2 is 128-in/out.
