Tannoy ACTIVE STUDIO MONITORS - Manual (Page 12)

Slave Monitor & Subwoofer
The slave unit is able to receive and distribute audio and control data via the proprietary TC LINK connection
The TS112 iDP™or TS212 iDP™subwoofer can
be used in any iDP system.
The Slave and Sub units contain one RJ45 Input connector and one Link connector. Via the RJ45 input connector the
Slave unit is supplied with audio and control data from the Master unit. Audio signal from the source is fed to the master
monitor only and the signal is distributed to the connected slave units through a proprietary networking protocol. A master
monitor acts exactly the same as a Slave monitor when its TC Link button is set to the “IN” position, hence it is used for
audio inputs only. The network system enables all connected monitors in a setup, whether in a stereo or surround format
always to be corresponding. Control of the entire system is possible from one point on the network (Master or Slave),
providing great flexibility in terms of control.
Initializing the Network
After connecting the units and powering up for the first time, the Master unit scans the setup in order to determine the
number of monitors connected. Each monitor is recognized via a unique serial number but can be renamed according
to task. After the initial scanning of the set-up, the Master unit will be re-scanning the setup every 5 seconds in order to
determine any change.
Remote Control
Precision iDP
™ monitor systems can be set up and controlled locally via the Master monitor’s user-interface with the
optional remote control or from a PC/Mac. This is achieved by connecting the PC or remote to any free Link connector
in the network. Control data is transmitted via the System Controller, and distributed to the other monitors in the network.
