Echo Function
If your D-NET network is configured in a “Daisy Chain,” or loop, and the Echo Function is ON,
you will be able to relay the incoming transfer to the digital input of a DigiCart/EX to the digital
output on that machine and on to the next DigiCart/EX in the network.

To set ECHO DURING RECEIVE on a DigiCart/EX select DNET FILE TRANSFER from the Utility
menu. Rotate the selection knob
to set ECHO DURING RECEIVE to ON or OFF.
Confirm the setting by pressing
ENTER
, or abandon it by pressing
EXIT
.
NOTE: If a DigiCart in the loop or chain is powered OFF, is in Play or Record mode, or has its
RECEIVER INPUT set OFF, it will not “echo” to the next machine in the network.
Echo should be turned OFF whenever the digital outputs are used for audio transmission. Using
the digital outputs for digital audio with Echo ON can cause clicks and pops in the unit
receiving digital audio from the DigiCart. Facilities that make extensive use of digital audio
should consider the use of a distribution amplifier or router and implement a “Star” D-NET
network to avoid the use of the Echo function. The signal output through the BNC connectors
on a DigiCart/EX is compatible with standard 75Ω video routers and distribution amplifiers.
