Setup
When connecting to devices that are not supported by the Quick Setup function, or when you need to make changes to specific
EtherSound settings, the parameters in the AVS-ESMonitor Control page provide access to head amplifier control settings while
those in the Net Patch and I/O Patch pages provide access to the input an output channel settings. Refer to the AVS-ESMonitor
manual for details on the Net Patch and I/O Patch pages.
Synchro Status
Displays the current EtherSound network synchronization
status.
Error Status
Displays SB168-ES error messages. The indicators on the
SB168-ES indicate the type of error by the way they flash or
light, while specific error messages are displayed here.
Lock Routing
This parameter makes it possible to temporarily lock editing
of the patches in the I/O Patch page, preventing possible
operation errors. “Lock Inputs” locks the IN > ES patches,
while “Lock Outputs” locks the OUT < ES patches.
Input Signal Peak/Output Signal Peak
Signal and peak indicators for the input and output channels.
The upper row is the PEAK indicators, which light red, and
the lower row is the SIGNAL indicators, which light green.
Serial Communication Mode
Select [Unicast] when controlling the head amplifiers from a
compatible digital mixing console, and select the MY16-
ES64 card as the communication target. It is also necessary
to set the MY16-ES64 Serial Communication Mode.
Select [Slave] when controlling the head amplifiers directly
from the AVS-ESMonitor application.
The [Multicast] setting is provided for future expansion, and
is not currently available.
Head Amp Remote Option
When controlling the head amplifiers from the AVS-ESMon-
itor application, a Head Amp page that provides access to
the head amplifier control parameters will be added to the
interface if the [Head Amp PC Remote Control] checkbox is
checked after selecting [Slave] in the Serial Communication
Mode section.
Tools
When the [Identify] button is clicked the SB168-ES IN/OUT
[TX]/[RX] indicators will flash, and will continue to flash
until the button is clicked a second time.
Emergency Clock
Turn this parameter on to assign the EtherSound network
word clock as the master word clock for maximum resis-
tance to faulty or broken connections in the network. When
this parameter is turned off the internal 48 kHz clock of the
SB168-ES (the topmost device in the EtherSound network)
is used when it is functioning as the primary master, other-
wise the EtherSound network word clock is used as master.
