Focusrite RedNet PCIe R Card [50/66] Rednet d16

RedNetD16 - Rear Panel

1. IEC Mains Inlet

Standard IEC receptacle for connection of AC mains. RedNet D16 features a ‘Universal’ PSU,

enabling it to operate on any supply voltage of between 100 V and 240 V.

* Note: that initial use requires ﬁtment of the plug retaining clip – see page 51.

2. Primary Network Port

Dante network connection. Use standard CAT 5e or CAT 6 computer network cables to connect

to a local Ethernet switch to connect the RedNet D16 to the RedNet network. Each socket

includes integral LEDs which illuminate to indicate a valid network connection plus network

activity. See page 54 for connector details.

3. Secondary Network Port

Backup Dante network connection where two independent Ethernet links are being used

(Redundant mode) or an additional port on an integral network switch on the primary network

(Switched mode).

4. Word Clock Out

Provides an output of the chosen system clock reference (can be switched between base rate

or network rate).

5. Word Clock In

Allows synchronisation of the Dante network to house word clock.

6. S/PDIF:

• OUT – Provides any adjacent odd-even signal pair, eg. 3–4 or 11–12. Software selectable.

• IN – Can be used as an alternative input for audio channels 3–4. Software switchable.

7. XLR Out

Permanent AES3 output of audio channel pair 1–2.

8. XLR In

Can be used as an alternate AES3 audio source for channels 1–2. Software switchable. May

also be used as a clock source when fed with either AES3 or DARS (Digital Audio Reference

Signal – AES3 distributed clock as per AES11). Software selectable.

9. DB25 Connectors

Eight AES/EBU input and output channels per connector. Wired to AES59 Combined Digital I/O.

See page 54 for connector pinouts.
