12.11 I/O Port
There are multiple option cards available for the SQ’s I/O Port.
These allow the SQ to interface with 3
rd
party audio networking protocols, as well as
providing the option to add a second SLink port.
Press the ‘Setup’ screen key, then touch the ‘Audio’ tab followed by the ‘I/O Port’ tab.
This screen shows which option card is currently connected. It also contains the
‘Control Network Bridge’ switch.
When the Control Network Bridge is on, the option card is internally connected
(bridged) to the SQ’s Network port. This allows a computer on the same network as
the SQ itself to ‘see’ and adjust settings for the fitted option card. It also allows
computers connected to the I/O Port card to connect to the SQ using SQ-MixPad.
Note that having the Control Network Bridge ‘On’ can cause issues with certain
setups. Details of these potential issues are shown in the bottom half of the screen
and should be considered before the network is bridged.
