Solid State Logic MX4 - Manual (Page 23)

Configuring a multiple unit system with the SSL Mixer V6 or SSL Soundscape V6
The SSL Mixer V6 software can work with any combination of MX4 and Mixpander cards. Within the Mixer environment the
cards are identified as Unit 1, Unit 2, Unit 3 and so on.
All the cards in a multiple unit system must be synchronised to a common Master Clock signal, which can be provided by one
of the cards or by an external device.
Master Clock can be transmitted and received in a number of ways, depending on the type of cards used in a particular system.
The WordClock connectors are an obvious solution. MADI, Adat, TDIF, or AES/EBU are also suited for clocking when two cards
need to be connected anyway to transfer multitrack digital audio.
Before attempting to configure the clock settings of a multiple unit system, please read the Settings Menu Section in chapter
9. Menu Reference in this manual for more information on Master Clock settings.
Unit Configurator
The Unit Configurator utility is located under the Settings menu, and from it you can
enable, disable and assign unit numbers to the MX4 or Mixpander cards installed in the
system.
When the SSL Mixer or Soundscape V6 runs for the first time it will automatically open the Unit Configurator window in order to
activate the installed cards and determine its unit number within the SSL Mixer.
• Initially all units in the system are
disabled. (Unit # shows ?)
• To activate a unit highlight it and
click the button Enable.
