S6L Control Surface Overview 43
Network Connections
3 – Network A and B
(Two etherCON RJ-45 Ports, and two SFP Fiber-Optic Ports)
The S6L control surface provides two connections (A and B) to connect the control surface to other S6L system components. Each
connection provides an RJ-45 with etherCON connector for copper connections and an SFP transceiver module-compatible fi-
ber-optic port for fiber-optic connections, as follows:
Port A
Connects to port B on the Master 1 Network card (bottom Network card) of the E6L engine.
Port B
Connects to port A on the last Stage 64 in a configuration, providing the redundant audio network connection for the Ring
Network 1.
4 – Network Ports C and D
(Two RJ-45 Ports with etherCON Connectors)
These ports provide AVB audio network connections to system components, as follows:
Port C (Pro Tools)
Connect to a compatible Pro Tools system (or other DAW) using a supported audio network cable for integrated
Pro Tools recording, playback and interoperability. This connection supports up to 128 channels of simultaneous recording and
playback between S6L and Pro Tools. See Pro Tools Recording and Playback for more information.
Port D
Connects to a secondary compatible Pro Tools system. If only using a single Pro Tools system, use Port C.
5 – ECx Port
Connect a wireless router or a computer to this port to enable ECx remote control, and to be able to use VENUE | On-stage and
VENUE | Function Pad apps for iOS. This port does not provide AVB audio network connections. For more information see the
ECx Ethernet Control Guide
., VENUE On-Stage.pdf, or VENUE Function Pad.pdf.
Control and Ancillary
6 – USB Ports
(Two USB 3.0 ports)
Connect USB peripherals such as external touch screen USB, keyboards, bluetooth transmitters for wireless keyboards and mice,
flash drives (for data transfer), and iLoks (for plug-in authorizations) to these ports.
7 – DVI-D Display Connector
Connect a DVI-D compatible Full HD display with 1920 x 1080 minimum resolution (21.5-inch or greater touch display recom-
mended) to this port to view the external screen.
8 – MIDI In and Out Ports
Each MIDI port provides 16 channels of MIDI input and 16 channels of MIDI output to and from the system. You can send and
receive snapshot MIDI messages, receive MIDI Time Code (MTC) from external devices, and send MTC to external devices. See
Synchronization for more information.
Only one type of connection (copper or fiber-optic) can be active at a time for each port. Never connect both copper and fiber
to the same port (A or B).
For more information on audio network connections, see the VENUE S6L Installation Guide.pdf.
Each Network port has Act and Sig LEDs to indicate network status. See.Network Port Act and Sig LEDs for more infor-
mation.
