Calrec BI6218

Calrec Hydra2 BI6218

Waves Soundgrid (RJ45)

The BI6218 provides 64 outputs from the Hydra 2 network to the SoundGrid network, and 64 inputs to Hydra 2 from SoundGrid at 48 kHz via a single Ethernet cable.

SoundGrid is an Audio-over-Ethernet networking and processing technology developed by Waves. SoundGrid provides extremely low-latency, high-channel-count audio processing using standard Intel CPUs and 1 Gbps Ethernet networks for studio, live sound, and other real-time professional audio applications.

Real-time audio processing is performed on standard Intel-based plug-in servers, running a Waves-customised real-time version of Linux.

Each BI6218 Waves mod I/O card is supplied with two serial numbers. The first one is a 6 digit Calrec serial number and the second is a Waves supplied 14 character hex serial number. The Waves Serial Number is shown circled in red far right. The customer is required to register the Waves supplied 14 character serial number against their Waves account so that the appropriate package files are made available.

Please note that each Soundgrid module should be registered to receive updates and support from Waves. Note there is a separate user guide available from Waves specific to the Calrec Soundgrid I/O which can be found at:- https://www.waves.com/1lib/pdf/live/calrec-manual....

Customers can use a dedicated display and input devices for the Waves PC, but if they want a more integrated feel, on Apollo and Artemis they could switch the console PC display, keyboard, and mouse, using a KVM or VNC protocol (similar to remote desktop). Setting up VNC is shown on the next page.
