NUAGE Workgroup Manager — An Introduction

NUAGE Workgroup Manager is an application that allows multiple devices and DAW applications to be controlled as a single group, referred to as a Workgroup. Adding Nuage Fader, Nuage Master, DAW Application such as Nuendo, and the like to a Workgroup in this way makes it possible to control Nuendo from the Nuage Fader and Nuage Master devices.

Launching & Shutting Down

Launching

NUAGE Workgroup Manager launches automatically when you start up your computer.

If you have shut down NUAGE Workgroup Manager and wish to re-launch it, use the Start menu or screen in Windows or the Applications in OS X.

Shutting down

Windows

Right-click the NUAGE Workgroup Manager icon in the system tray and select Quit.

Mac

Click the NUAGE Workgroup Manager icon in the menu bar and select Quit.

Using the Application

Adding devices or DAW applications to the Workgroup

Devices and DAW applications can be added to the Workgroup using the Main window (page 7). To do so, follow the procedure described below. (The Main window is displayed when NUAGE Workgroup Manager is opened.)

1. Connect the devices and the computers running the DAW applications using Ethernet cables.

2. Turn on the devices and launch the DAW applications.

NOTE

When you turn on a device or launch a DAW application for the first time, you will be asked to confirm whether you want to add it to the Workgroup. Click OK if you wish to do so. In the event that this confirmation message is not displayed, carry out the procedure from Step 3 below to add the device or DAW applications manually.

3. Double-click the NUAGE Workgroup Manager icon in the system tray (Windows) or menu bar (Mac) to open NUAGE Workgroup Manager.

4. Select a device or DAW application in the Device/DAW List area in the lower half of the window.

5. Click to add the device or DAW application to the Workgroup area in the upper half of the window.

Identifying a device or DAW application

To identify any device or DAW application displayed in NUAGE Workgroup Manager, click the corresponding Identify button on the Main window (page 8). When you do so, the lamp on the device or DAW application will respond by flashing for a few seconds.

Configuring devices and DAW applications

To configure any device or DAW application displayed in NUAGE Workgroup Manager, click the corresponding Property button. When you do so, a setting window for the device or DAW application will be displayed. The settings that can be made on this window will depend on the device or DAW application.

Switching between multiple DAW applications

The buttons from the DAW Select section of a Nuage Fader or Nuage Master can be used to switch between multiple DAW applications. In addition, KVM switches can be used to ensure that LCD windows also change at the same time. By way of example, the following describes the connections and settings that need to be made in order to switch between two DAW applications when using one Nuage Fader and one Nuage Master.

Making connections

Connect the various system components according to the following example.

Video, mouse and keyboard
Mouse and keyboard
Video
RS-232C
Video (from splitter)

NOTE

• Ethernet connections are not shown in the above diagram.
• Video splitters will be required if making connections shown by the dotted lines (i.e., Video (from splitter)).
• The connections shown by the dotted lines (i.e., Video (from splitter)) are required in order to display the main window (i.e., the Project window in the case of Nuendo) on the Nuage Fader's LCD. Use the [MAIN DISP] button from the DAW SELECT section of the Nuage Fader to display this window.

Configuring the system

1. Open NUAGE Workgroup Manager.
2. Add the two DAW applications, the Nuage Fader, and the Nuage Master to the Workgroup.
3. Click Setup to open the Setup window (page 9).

1. Set the data to be transmitted from the RS-232C ports on the Nuage Fader and the Nuage Master to the KVM switches when the buttons from the DAW Select section are pressed, and also set the corresponding transmission parameters.

In the DAW A field, for example, you should enter the ASCII message to be sent to the KVM switches to switch them to DAW A when the DAW A button is pressed. For information on these messages and RS232C parameter settings, refer to the manuals that came with the KVM switches.
