FiberPlex Introduces the LightViper™ VIM-2032
Mini-YGDAI Digital Console Extender— 19" rack component extends fiber optic audio transport functionality
for Yamaha digital mixing consoles —INFOCOMM, LAS VEGAS, NV, June 18, 2008 — FiberPlex, Inc., the leading fiber optic supplier to the professional audio industry, will introduces the company’s new LightViper™
VIM-2032.The VIM-2032 is designed for use with the LightViper “Series 32” line of products, specifically the VIS-1832, the VIS-4832 and the VIM-MY32 mini-YGDAI cards designed for Yamaha digital consoles that feature the YGDAI card slots. The VIM-2032 will alleviate the disparity when using a LightViper fiber optic transport with Yamaha digital consoles where the channel count at the stage does not match the input channel count to the YDGAI card slots at the console.
The VIM-2032 contains a VIM-MY32S slave card with the capability of outputting both analog and digital audio signals. The VIM-2032 features: 32 analog outputs on four DB25 connectors, 32 digital outputs on two DB25 connectors, word clock in/out on two BNC connectors, a slave connector on one Neutrik MiniCon connector, an RJ45 connector for control, a fiber pass through which takes the 32 signals coming into the VIM-2032 and feeds them to a fiber output, an “internal”/”HA” switch for determining if the device is getting its control from the console internally or via the 9-pin control output, and an IEC power connector.
The Yamaha M7CL has a maximum capacity of 48 channels when using all the console’s YGDAI card slots. The LightViper Series 32 systems have a form factor of 32X8. When paired with a Yamaha M7CL digital console, this means that to provide a 48X16 system, one needs 64 channels of input to the LightViper transport at the stage, or “head” end of the system. Therefore, 16 channels of inputs on the stage cannot be accessed at the console through the YGDAI slots on the VIM-MY32 fiber optic cards. By utilizing a VIM-2032, the user can access outputs 33-64 from the stage or “head” end of the LightViper system. The VIM-2032 is connected to one of the two VIM-MY32M master cards in the console via the Neutrik MiniCon cable. It is also possible to equip a Yamaha M7CL with three VIM-MY32M master cards (with no slave cards) and three VIM-2032 units to achieve a 96X24 transport; this permits 48 channels to come into the console via the YGDAI card slots, and another (48) channels coming in on the analog XLR inputs.
In combination with the Yamaha LS9-16 digital console, the VIM-2032 may be used with a single LightViper VIM-MY32M master card to achieve 16 digital inputs to the YGDAI card slot, PLUS 16 analog inputs via standard analog inputs on XLR’s.
The suggested Professional Audio user price for the VIM-2032 is $2,225.00. Availability is June 2008.
All LightViper systems are manufactured in the USA. FiberPlex includes a limited lifetime warranty with all its LightViper Series products.
