The RDNet Control 8 Output Master Unit from RCF is a real-time monitor and control system able to manage up to 256 devices linked in a bus, or up to 128 devices in a ring topology. All the data collected from the slaves are delivered to the sound engineer via USB in a local installation, or via Ethernet from remote locations. The interface can be directly connected to the DSP on board of every TT+ line array module through the exclusive RDNet protocol, making it possible to address in single cabinets or groups, specific presets, or modification parameters in real-time.

The key point of RDNet Control 8 is to ensure minimum refresh time (at least 5 per second) of the system's performance data, such as RMS signals, compressor activity, temperature, fans' speed, warnings, etc. The data transfer can be routed also through the provided XLR connectors, enabling the control of the system on traditional multi-cored cables.

• Bridges control and monitoring networks between Ethernet/USB and RDNet
• Connects PC to Control 8 and controlling up to 8 subnets of maximum 32 slave devices
• Configuring the net with bus or ring connections
• Auto detect net configuration and registration
• Controlling slave devices status and functions
• Monitors and displays faults and warnings sent from slave devices
• Stores subnet user's filters configuration on removable memory card

Q: 9. Will this work with the Nissin i60?

A: The SF C1 will pair and trigger the generic Nissin i60 by itself. However once attached to any Leica camera pressing the camera shutter the generic Nissin i60 will NOT fire. It will only work with the Leica branded SF60 flash only. It would seem there is a proprietary lock in SFC1. Now if you were to take the canikon or sony version of this commander (air 10S) it would sync and fire across all versions of the i60 flashes except Leica.
