8 MIDI IN/OUT connectors Used to transmit and receive MIDI messages to and from external MIDI devices. The MIDI IN connector receives messages from an external device, and the MIDI OUT connector transmits messages from the QL unit. These are used mainly to record QL parameter operations or scene/library selections on an external device, or to control QL parameters from an external device. 9 WORD CLOCK IN/OUT connectors BNC connectors used to transmit and receive word clock signals to and from an external device. The WORD CLOCK IN connector features internal 75-ohm termination. 0 GPI connector D-sub 15-pin female connector that allows communication (5-in, 5-out) with a GPI-equipped external device. A DIGITAL OUT connector An AES/EBU (XLR-3-32 male) jack that outputs the digital audio signal of a desired channel in AES/EBU format. This is used mainly to output the signal of the STEREO/MONO channel. B SLOT 1-2 Allow for the installation of separately-sold DSP cards, or mini-YGDAI I/O cards to expand the number of input/output ports. C Dante PRIMARY/SECONDARY connectors Used to connect to other Dante audio network devices, such as an Rio3224-D I/O device. Use standard Ethernet cables with Neutrik etherCON CAT5e compatible RJ-45 plugs. D LINK/ACT indicators These indicators show the communication status of the PRIMARY and SECONDARY connectors. They flash rapidly if the Ethernet cables are connected properly. E 1G Indicators These indicators light when the Dante network is functioning as Giga-bit Ethernet. F NETWORK connector This RJ-45 connector allows the QL unit to be connected to a computer via an Ethernet cable (CAT5e or higher recommended). This connector is used mainly to control mix parameters or to edit scene memories and libraries from the dedicated "QL Editor" application program or the "QL StageMix" iPad application.
