MULTI-CHANNEL SYSTEMS

The DGy 201 is a single channel recording system. However, all models

support the ability to provide a multi-channel record and playback

capability. A number of units can be configured together and controlled

from a single control point using the optional Multi-Channel Manager

software as shown in the figure below.

Figure 1-4. Multi-channel recorder set up

Control of a multi-channel setup can be accomplished using the optional

Multi-Channel Manager software (MCM) application available from RGB

Spectrum. The MCM runs under the Windows operating system. From a

single user interface, the MCM coordinates the synchronization of the

record and play capabilities of multiple machines.
