Procedure
Adding a ControlSpace EX-8ML under table box (or an EX-4ML or EX-UH) to a ControlSpace Designer project is a two-step process. The first step is to locate the EX-8ML in the Dante Endpoints category of the Device List, left click and drag it into the Project View. This is the same process as adding a DSP to your project and the EX-8ML will appear in the Project View.
When an EX-8ML, EX-4ML or EX-UH has been added to the Project View, it will be added to the Dante Endpoints category in the SP Tool Kit of the Signal Processing View for any EX series processors in the project. The Dante Endpoints category of the SP Tool Kit will contain only the EX series under-table boxes that have been added to the Project View, but have not been linked to a DSP device. If no Dante endpoints have been added to the project, or if all added Dante endpoints have been linked to a DSP device, the Dante Endpoints category of the SP Tool Kit will be empty.
To link the EX-8ML to an EX-1280C, left click and drag the EX-8ML from the SP Tool Kit to the Signal Processing View of the EX-1280C. Once the EX-8ML has been linked to an EX-1280C, it will no longer appear in the Dante Endpoints category for other EX-1280C devices unless it is deleted from the original EX-1280C.
Adding the EX-8ML to the Signal Processing View of the EX-1280C causes the audio and GPIO from the EX-8ML to be treated as part of the EX-1280C. When the ControlSpace program is loaded to the devices the Dante subscriptions are engaged between the EX-8ML and EX-1280C. The audio and GPIO connections of the EX-8ML may be wired in the same way as the audio and GPIO connections built into the EX-1280C and may be added to Parameter Sets, Groups, and Timers just like any other object in the EX-1280C. The Dante audio channels from the EX-8ML are also available for manual Dante routing directly to any other Dante device on the network.
