Genesys User Manual - AMS Neve

Typical cabling connections on a 64 fader console
In both of the CAT5 cabling examples outlined below, the USB to CAT5
(USB-Serial) converter cable (supplied) should be connected from the
Genesys computer and then into the first AD/DA (or Monitor) card.
This cable must only be connected once the Genesys system is fully
booted and the Genesys software is running.

The cards in positions 1-8, 17-24, 33-40 and 49-56 are AD/DA Master
cards, each of them connected to their Slave cards by 3 x CAT5
connectors: Serial 1 on the Master connects to Serial 1 on the Slave and
so on.
There are two chains of CAT5 connectors (for comms purposes) shown at
the bottom of the above diagram that start from the central Monitoring
AD/DA card, one for the Left side and one for the Right side of the
console.
From the central Monitoring AD/DA, connect Out to In, Out to In etc
spreading out from the centre of the console.
All of these connections are made on the rear of the AD/DA cards
themselves.
