Hi,
I don't know exactly what you're trying to do, but If you're retrofitting Ultimation into a VCA console there's lots of things you need to be able to do it. This can also differ if this is an E or G console. I have scanned a retrofit manual that I can share with you if needed.
But in terms of hardware you basically need:
- VCA card per channel (these are different than the non-utlimation VCA card)
- Ultimation faders
- Fader bus card for each bucket (different than the VCA faders)
- New Input/Output computer cards
- New CA bus card (replaces the Light and Switches card)
- Ultimation fader motor PSU (and cabling)
- Electronics fader motor PSU
Finally you'll need the Ultimation software to run the computer. This is also depending on the version of computer and floppy drive you have.
If it's indeed a retrofit you'll also need to update the connector panel under the patchbay to be able to input the motors power.
I think Andy knows someone that's selling a complete Ultimation system if you need.
Cheers,
Artur
