11. Understanding Remote vs Local Control of the Lucid Converter You can control the converter either remotely or locally Remote control of the converter means that you adjust converter settings through the audio preferences of the application If you want to control the converter remotely you must connect the converter to the serial port of the HP xw9400 workstation Local control means you adjust converter settings manually using the controls on the front of the converter Controlling the converter remotely is the recommended method as it does not require physical access to the converter to change settings Whether you control the converter remotely or locally you should take any necessary precautions to prevent inadvertent adjustments to settings via the controls on the front of the converter For example if the converter is one of several in a machine room you might label each with the name ofthe computer to which it is connected along with whether control is local or remote Audio Wiring To connect the Discreet Native Audio hardware components to the AJA breakout box refer to the following diagram 32 Audio Wiring to serial port 1 CI Converter Alternative setup converted from analog source Linux workstation Lucid ADA 88192 Digital outputs Input from on analog source Output to analog destination Required for remote control of converter
