X32 rack + SD16 + DN4816-o for 32 outputs

[llort]

Hi there

maybe you have an idea on how to solve my issue :
I'm using the x32 rack for iems and am trying to send 32 outs to FOH with a pair of DN4816-o
my current rig is an x32 rack with an SD16 via aes50 allowing for 32 inputs

for outputs i acquired 2x DN4816-o, hoping to be able to send 32 outputs to FOH via ultranet (as x32 rack do not have stageconnect).
So apparently ultranet is limited to 16 outputs but is there a way to use :
1/ the ultranet from the x32 to my first DN4816-o
2/ the ultranet from my sd16 to the second DN4816-o ?

Or maybe you have a better idea on how to send 32 unaltered outs to FOH while keeping our separate iem mixes from the X32 rack ?

thank you so much in advance

Quick edit :
Somehow running an ethernet from the sd16 ultranet to one of the DN4816-o works routing on 33-48.
Although i can't seem to find any way to select pre or post fader or anything.
Still kinda of weird to me but anyhow running 2 ethernet cables might do the trick

Signals that appear on the stagebox's ultranet socket get there via AES50 33-48. In theory you could do 16x DOs from channels at the In\LC tap point (clean as possible in this menu, though still includes polarity inversion and line delay) in the ultranet menu for one DN4816-o connected to the console, and another straight off preamps (no console processing at all) to the other DN4816-o via the stagebox, using the AES50 33-48 outputs. Continue using the out1-16 menu for your iem buses.

However I don't like the mix of post preamp vs in\LC DOs. Instead I'd do 32x DOs straight off preamps (no console processing) using 8x outs on the console, 8x outs on the SD16 and 16x outs on one DN4816-o. Snakes could be messy depending on where everything is physically located though. Then use the other DN4816-o for your IEM outs.

All that said, FOH likes to have their own preamp control, so 32 channels of mic splits would be better.
