Overview
Focusrite AMS-REDNET-HD32R
RedNet HD32R is a 1U, 19in rack-mount Dante interface that allows Pro Tools|HD users direct access to the full benefits of the Dante digital audio networking system, including its uniquely flexible network topology and premium quality audio interfaces. The Pro Tools system is connected to the HD32R via standard Mini DigiLink ports. HD32R acts as a 64-channel (32 in/32 out) digital break in/out box, operating in the same way as a standard interface, and supporting a wide range of Pro Tools|HDX and HD cards. Up to six HD32R modules can be used with a Pro Tools|HDX system and three with Pro Tools|HD, allowing the maximum channel count for either. The HD32R features a rugged, roadworthy exterior and high internal build quality, with Ethernet and power supply redundancy. In addition, it offers a compact 1U rack-mount form factor for a full 32 channels of I/O.
Features

Front Panel Indicators
|
|
| Primary PSU (A) | Green LED. Illuminates when an AC input is applied and all DC outputs are present. |
| Primary PSU (B) | Green LED. Illuminates when an AC input is applied and all DC outputs are present. |
| Primary Network | Green LED. Indicates that a network connection is present on primary port when in redundant mode. When in Switched mode, a valid network connection at either Primary or Secondary network port will cause this LED to illuminate. |
| Secondary Network | Green LED. Indicates that a network connection is present on secondary port when in redundant mode. Not used in switched mode. |
| Network Locked | Green LED. When unit is network slave, shows valid network lock. When unit is network master, shows lock to indicated clock source. Flashing indicates external clock is selected but not connected. |
