To keep your stagebox patching and preamp settings, when using show files from one generation to the other, a MADI card must be present in the same card slot that the show file was saved to initially. Card slots A, C, & E, in the 1 st generation local rack, are used to handle Line & AES signals from the breakout box. If taking a show file built from a 2 nd generation local rack (Vi5k or Vi7k) and load it to a 1 st generation local rack (Vi4/400 or Vi6/600), any routing from cards A, C, & E would be lost. The same pertains to the 2 nd generation, however, an additional 2 MADI cards were added to slots C & E, and Dante to slot A. The 1 st generation local rack housed two MADI cards that can be found in card slots I & K.
Moving show files from one generation to the other will always result in patching loss associatd to the breakout box/active breakout box. The 2 nd generation local rack consolidated these signal types by converting to our proprietary BLU Link digital-audio protocol, and only uses 1 x D21m card to handle the streams, to and from. The 1 st generation local rack uses 7 x D21m cards, a mixture of mic, line, & AES to route the signals to and from the breakout box. This may result in the need to perform an I/O reconfig (reconfig button found at the front of the local rack), due to the confusion between show file config vs. When I/O card types and their associated card letter do NOT match, from one local rack to another, any patching for that card slot will be lost when loading the show file.
Let's look at the differences in hardware between the 1st Gen & 2nd Gen Local Racks. Control Surface + Local Rack: 1 st Gen vs.
