OK so my head hurts as I am been trying to figure this out. I am sure I am
missing something simple.
Details:
Newly running 3.0 on 98 machine
1 MEC
2 EDS cards
1 8 out card
1 8 in card
Trying to patch to second EDS card mixer:
Mec master A to mixer A (8 ins to mixer A 16 ins) working fine.
No option for second EDS card in object list window. Tried going to mixer
B from Mec master A and get this error “Could not make connection. You cannot
patch objects across EDS-1000 card boundaries.”
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance

Any good quality short 75 Ohm BNC to BNC cable will do nicely. Try a
local pro video supplier or a music store that sells computer
software/hardware. If you still can't find one, go to your local
electronics supply store (or the aforementioned video supplier) and get
two BNC to F-type adapters and use an RG6 TV cable between.
