monitors. With this type of set-up only one master is required.
The Left monitor is set as the System Controller by leaving out the
TC Link button on the rear panel.
The Left master monitor receives both the left and right input signals
via the analog or AES\EBU input connector(s).
The Right monitor receives audio and control via the output RJ45
TC Link connections on the Left (system controller) monitor.
The Left monitor receives audio and control via the output RJ45 TC
Link connector on the Left (system controller) monitor.
The Right monitor receives audio and control via the output RJ45 TC
Link connector on the Right monitor.
The iDP
™ Remote, iDP SOFT ™ or PC-iP ™ can be connected to any
spare TC Link “out” connection.
