​Answer:​

  • ​Vi1: 48kHz only
  • ​Vi2: 48kHz only
  • ​Vi4: 48kHz only
  • ​Vi6: 48kHz only
  • ​Vi1000: 48kHz only
  • ​Vi2000: 48kHz only
  • ​Vi3000: 48kHz only
  • ​Vi5000: 48kHz; 96kHz (With 8 DSP cards)
  • ​Vi7000: 48kHz; 96kHz (With 8 DSP cards)

​Question:

What will my Vi5000/7000 need in order to operate at 96kHz?

​Answer:​​​

  1. ​​​​You will need 8 DSP cards installed to the Local Rack.

​Question:

What can I do to get my Vi2/4/6 operating at 96kHz?

​Answer:​

​Neither the Vi2, Vi4, or Vi6 Control Surface can operate at 96kHz, even with the Vi400/600 upgrade module. Only 48kHz is supported.  The only way this is possible is by​ upgrading your local rack with the Vi5000/7000 upgrade kit and purchasing a Vi5000/7000 control surface.  Matching a Vi400/600 Control Surface with a Vi5000/700​0 loc​al rack configuration will NOT make the system 96kHz compatible.  A Vi5000/7000 Control Surface is required! 

​​​​                                                                                                                                     

Question:

Can I use the Compact Stagebox (CSB) with my Vi5000/7000 and still operate at 96kHz?​

Answer:

No, the Compact Stagebox cannot operate at 96kHz, only 48kHz is supported. 

​                                                                                                                                   

Question:

Can I use the standard Vi​ Stagebox with my Vi5000/7000 and still operate at 96kHz?

Answer:

Yes, the standard Vi Stagebox is required to operate at 64ch/96kHz.​​​

​                                                                                                                                   

​Question:

Do I need a specific analog card capable of converting to 96kHz?

Answer:

No, our analog cards hold no bearing on sample rate.  You just need the Large Vi Stagebox, matched with a Vi5000/7000 Control Surface, & Vi5000/7000 Local Rack in order to operate at 64ch/96kHz.
