pretty sure you have to do Surface and Mixrack.

Hi Rays

Online Surface & MixRack
When you connect Online Surface & MixRack, Editor will be linked in software to the surface and mixrack. Everything you do will be in sync and updated on both the surface and within Editor and all Show and scene recalls will apply settings to both.

MixRack Only
When you connect MixRack Only Editor creates a virtual surface. Editor is not connected in software to the physical surface. This means you must make sure you match the virtual surface hardware setup with the physical surface so that you do not create any compatability issues.
When recalling scenes and shows in Editor some surface settings will only be applied to the virtual surface not the physical surface. When recalling scenes and shows on the touchscreen some surface settings will only be applied to the physical surface and not to the virtual surface within Editor.

Because there is no software connection between an Editor session and the physical surface when in MixRack Only mode, it is possible to make the Editor session fully independant of the physical surface. To do this, the network connection between the Mixrack and the Editor session must not go via the network hub in the surface. If you do this the Editor session will remain connected even if the physical surface is disconnected or switched off.

Thanks Stealth, so, R-72 /R-72 , T-80/T-80 etc… ???!!

Yes make sure you match all hardware exactly the same. If you are using a modular iLive system then you must match all modular options e.g. RAB module, option cards, I/O cards etc.

also, with connection to mixrack only, that would be the one to use for Foh/mon application where only one surface at foh would be used……..that would keep both set-ups independent of each other??

Not necessarily You have to remember when running Editor along side a MixRack and surface the Editor is not a completely seperate surface, some parameters are still linked as you are connected to the same MixRack.
You could still connect fully online and use the custom strip layout in Editor to setup your channel layout how you want it. This is alot more flexible as you can have many more layers (Tabs).
any mixrack parameter will still effect both the physical surface and Editor. The main advantage is that in the unlikely case you surface looses connection you can still have control via Editor with Mixrack only mode.
