PIX 250i User Guide

Network Grouping

When multiple rack-mounted PIX video recorders (PIX 250i, PIX 260i, or PIX 270i) or the 970 Audio

Recorder are in use on an Ethernet network, they can be grouped together for transport control and

linking of most setup options. Setup Menu option [Network - Network Group] assigns the PIX 250i

to one of four available groups.

In this section, the term “unit” refers to PIX 250i, PIX 260i, or PIX 270i Video Recorders, or the 970

Audio Recorder, unless otherwise speciﬁed.

There is no “master”/“slave” relationship in Network Groups. All units in a group are “master”.

Transport commands and settings changes made on any unit in a group will ripple to all other units

in the group. If a transport command or settings change has to be made to only one unit in a group,

the unit must be temporarily removed from the group before making the change. To quickly toggle

between No Group and the current group setting, press MENU + Control Knob.

Requirements and considerations when setting up Network Groups:

• The maximum number of units supported in a single group is currently 10. Increasing the amount

of units in a group increases the time of response for grouped transport commands and auto-con-

guration.

• It is recommended that timecode be distributed individually to each unit in a group rather than

“daisy-chained” through units in a group.

• Allow all units in a group to auto-congure before proceeding with grouped operations. See the

following section for details. (See “Group Auto-Conguration”, page 42)

• Some seings are not linked even when units are in the same group. (See “Grouped Seings”, page

41)

Grouped Settings

A settings change of any unit in the group will be rippled through to all other units in the group,

with some exceptions. The following settings and functions will always apply only to the unit that

they are made on, and not ripple through to other units in the group (or be pushed when Setup

Menu option [Network - Grouping - Push Settings to Group] is used):

• All [Network] options.

• All [Quick Setup] options.

• [File Storage - Erase/Re-format]

• [Timecode/Sync - Timecode Mode]

• [Timecode/Sync - Jam Received TC]

• [Timecode/Sync - Jam Time of Day]

• [Timecode/Sync - Set Generator TC]

• [Timecode/Sync - Set Generator UBits]

• [System - Set Date/Time]

• [System - Update Software]
