The article below lists the general requirements for Soundcraft Realtime Rack.
- UAD v9.4.2b software (download now)
- Apple Mac computer with available Thunderbolt 1 or 2 port
- macOS 10.13 High Sierra
- Apple Thunderbolt 1 or 2 cable for each Realtime Rack unit

- MADI optical SC signal source & return (e.g., digital mixing console)
- Cat 5 Ethernet cable*
- Internet connection to download software and authorize UAD DSP plug-ins
- 6 gigabytes available storage
*Cat 5 Ethernet cable and Apple Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter required for Snapshot save and recall with Soundcraft Vi Series Consoles
Notes
- Cables and adapters are not included.
- Multi-unit setups cannot use duplex (paired) MADI cables.
- Realtime Rack is compatible with the MADI standard protocol (AES10) via optical SC connections. Although coaxial MADI cannot be connected directly,
Realtime Rack is expected to operate with any digital audio device with MADI optical I/O using proper converters, cabling and/or adapters (such as the optical I/O of a MADI coaxial converter). - The Realtime Rack software is fully qualified with 1440 x 900 and higher display resolutions. However, no issues were exposed during our brief tests with the 11" Macbook Air with 1366 x 768 display resolution.
