This getting started guide will guide you through the process of connecting the
new Vector Black PC Wing.
Introduction
The Vector Black PC Wing can be used as an attachment to Vector PC or as a
Remote Wing with a console. Vector Black PC Wing is not a standalone wing,
panel or console, and can only be used as a parallel hardware attachment, as it
draws its processing power from a Vector PC or Vector Console.
Note :Minimum software requirement is Vector Software 4.0.R05
Connecting the Vector Black PC Wing
The Vector Black PC Wing needs to be connected to a
Vector system using
a
RJ-45 network cable.
Connection can either be via an Ethernet hub or direct.
Note:
If more than one system exist in the network, the Vector Black PC Wing will
show the available IPs, and will connect to the chosen IP
If there is only one system in the network, it will first show its IP and
then
automatically
connects
to
it
after
few
seconds.
LED connection indications
During connection the Vector Black PC Wing LED’s will indicate the connection
status. The following are the LED indications:
Action LED indication
Powering Up All LED’s will blink for a split second.
Scanning the network Red LEDs
All Q-Keys trigger buttons will run in
a progress bar fashion, left to right.
Showing available console IPs
The LEDs of the Q-Keys Select
buttons will display the available
console IPs in the network. Green
LED color means that the shown
IP belongs to this option. Red LED
color means that there is another
console IP in the network that
can be shown by pressing the
select button of that Q-Key.
Getting Started
Showing available console IPs
When selecting a console, the IP is
displayed by the LEDs on the
buttons of the PBs. These LEDs
display the third number of the IP
(the Console ID) by using the
three rows of the PB buttons. Each
row is a digit of the third number
of the IP. For example: if the
Console ID is 180, the first row
will be lit under PB number 1, the
second row will be lit under PB
number 8, and the third row will
be lit under PB number 10. In the
attached picture#1 you can see an
example of Console ID = 180, and
in picture#2 there is an example
of Console ID = 11.
In order to connect to the desired
console, you need to select it from
the options and then hit the
[Enter] button.
During connection All LEDs will remain ON until
connection is complete.
Connection established All LEDs will blink for a second.
NO Network Red LEDs
All Q-Keys trigger buttons will run in
a progress bar fashion, left to right.

Getting Started
Vector Black PC Wing Operation
The Vector Black PC Wing can only be used as a Parallel hardware attachment
and not a standalone unit.
Parallel Behavior
The following applies to the Wing behavior in parallel mode:
Changing the fader mode on the Vector console changes it on the Wing and
vice-versa.
Master playback can be changed on either the Wing or Vector console.
Editor functions on the Black PC Wing work together with the editor
functions on the console.
Paging
The following explains how Vector Black PC Wing paging works when using
either a 10 playback console or a 20 playback console:
10 Playback Console
Paging on the Black PC Wing will also page on the console and vice-versa.
The 10 Playbacks on the console will affect the 10 Playbacks on the Black PC
Wing and vice -versa , for example ; Playback 1 on the console will affect
Playback
1 on the PC Wing and vice-versa.
20 Playback Console
Paging on the Black PC Wing will also page on the console and vice-versa.
The first
10 Playbacks on a page of the console will affect the 10 Playbacks on the
Black PC Wing and vice-versa. For example:
Console
Page 1 (Playbacks 1- 20) Will affect Playbacks 1-10
Page 2 (Playbacks 21-40) Will affect Playbacks 21-30
