Standard Components
In its standard configuration, the Light Viper 4832 system is comprised of the following primary components.
 The Stage Box (VIS‐4832) — This is the box placed close to all the inputs on stage. It is a 1U rack mount device
that accepts (32)AES digital inputs (sends) and (8) AES digital plus (8) analog line level outputs (returns).
 The Mixer Box (VIM‐1832) — This unit contains (32) simultaneous AES digital and analog line level outputs
(sends) and (8) AES digital or (8) analog line level inputs (returns). The unit should be mounted in a rack close to
the primary (FOH) mixing console
 The Fiber Cable (TFC‐0000‐04) — The lightweight “tactical grade” fiber ‘cable’ that carries the digital signal
between the stage and mixer boxes. For installation use, either PVC or Plenum rated fiber is recommended (VFC‐
0000‐D, VFC‐0000‐DP).
 TAC‐4 Connector Panels – (VPL‐11, VPL‐12, VPL‐13) – These 1U rack panels contain (1), (2), or (3) panel mount
TAC‐4 connectors mounted respectively and allow connection between tactical grade fiber to the ST connectors
on the VIM units.
 Send / Return Cables (VCB‐ADXM, VCB‐ADXF) — These cables connect the Mixer Box to the analog
inputs/outputs of your mixer. If you are connecting to a Yamaha digital console through the Yamaha “Y” cards,
you would use VCB‐DDMY and VCB‐DDMYIO cables. A variety of cables to connect to other digital consoles and
devices are also available.
Optional Components
Additional components can be added to the Light Viper 4832 for increased functionality.
 VIM‐MY32 Cards — The VIM‐MY32 can replace the VIM‐1832 primary connection or a VIM‐1032 on a split
connection. The VIM‐MY32 card set is designed to be installed directly into a Yamaha console capable of
accepting YGDAI cards.
 Additional Send Box(es) (VIM‐1032) – The VIM‐1032 is similar to the VIM‐1832 mixer box in that it provides a
parallel set of the snake’s 32 input channels, via an additional Fiber Cable, in applications where you need splits –
for recording, broadcast, or monitor mixing. The VIS‐4832 Stage Box can be fit with two “split” connectors for a
total of three (1 VIM‐1832 (Primary) + 2 VIM‐1032 (splits) outputs.
 Additional Analog Fan Out Cable(s) (VCB‐ADXM / VCB‐ADXF) – These fan out cables are necessary for connecting
additional mixer boxes (VIM‐1832 and VIM‐1032) to your analog equipment. You need (4) VCB‐ADXM for each
VIM‐1832 or VIM‐1032 mixer boxes in the system. The VIM‐1832 also requires (1) VCB‐ADXF (female) fan out to
access the returns.
 Additional Digital Cables – To connect AES digital directly into a Yamaha PM5D, DM2000, DM 1000 or M7, you
need (2) optional cables for each 32x8 system. (1) DDMY and (1) DDMYIO will allow a 32x8 connection into the
Yamaha MY16AE cards. Optional cables are available to interface with Pro Tools and other types of devices and
various connector configurations.
 Ethernet Control – Add the optional ETH‐1832 (pair) option to any Stage / FOH path, and control a variety of
Ethernet based gear on stage from the FOH position.
 Additional Fiber Cable(s) – For live production, TFC‐0000‐04 tactical grade fiber with TAC‐4 Connector
terminations is required between the stage box (VIS‐1832) and all mixer boxes. For installations where the fiber
will be pulled through conduit, either VFC‐0000‐D (PVC fiber) or VFC‐0000‐DP (Plenum rated fiber) with ST
connector terminations is recommended. There is also an option for a “Pulling Eye” which can be specified by
adding an “PE” to the part numbers above. This option includes a strain relief and pulling eye on one end of the
fiber optic cable.
 TAC‐4 and OpticalCon connectors can also be fit directly on the chassis of the VIS‐4832, VIM‐1832 and VIM‐1032,
in applications such as these, rack ears and VPL panels are not required.
