•S-4000M REAC MERGE UNIT

The REAC port on the M-200i does not support REAC EMBEDDED POWER. When you connect an S-0808, install an external battery on the S-0808 to power via the DC IN port. Note, however, that when the connection on the M-200i is made via an S-4000M or S-4000D, the S-0808 is powered by the S-4000M or S-4000D, and so no external battery is needed.

In this manual, we may abbreviate these units as the S-1608, S- 0816, or S-4000S, or may refer to them collectively as input/ output units.

Text enclosed in square brackets [ ] indicates a button. For example, the direction to “press [METER]” means that you are to press the METER button.

Basic knowledge about REAC

About REAC

The REAC (Roland Ethernet Audio Communication) interface is the core of a V-Mixing system. It uses a proprietary protocol based on Ethernet technology, and allows 40 channels of digital audio to be sent in each direction via a single Cat5e Ethernet cable.

REAC can do the following:

•Send 40 channels of digital audio in each direction

•Send audio up to 100 meters on one Cat5e cable

•A switching hub or the S-OPT option can be used to extend the cable.

•Use a switching hub to easily split the signal

•The transmission delay between REAC devices is extremely small (approximately 375 microseconds)

When the signal passes through a switching hub, there will be approximately 200 microseconds of delay for each unit.

About cables

Since Cat5e Ethernet cables are used, it’s very easy to connect REAC devices to each other. Cat5e Ethernet cables are commonly used for computer network connections, and have RJ45 plugs.

Types of Ethernet cable

There are two types of Ethernet cables. Although both types have the same exterior appearance, their RJ45 plugs are wired differently, as follows:

•Crossover cable

The internal wiring of the cable is crossed at each RJ45 plug. This means that the connections of the RJ45 plugs will differ at each end of the cable.

•Straight cable

The internal wiring of the cable is the same at each end.

Crossover cables (such as RSS SC-W20F, RSS SC-W100S, or RSS W100S-R) should be used when connecting to the REAC ports on this product.

Certain cautions apply if you’re using a conventional switching hub with this system. For details, refer to “REAC applications” (p. 96).

Introduction

Ethernet connectors

Ethernet cables use RJ45 plugs. REAC equipment provides an RJ45 connector for each REAC port.

fig.RJ45andREAC-j.eps

Introduction

RJ45 plug

REAC RJ45 connector

For critically important communication, it is vital to protect the RJ45 plug and connector. For such situations, REAC RJ45 connectors use a sturdy Neutrik EtherCon plug. Using the EtherCon RJ45 plug allows a latched-type connector similar to an XLR plug.

The Neutrik Corporation provides EtherCon RJ45 plugs, as well as EtherCon plugs that can be added to the RJ45 plug of commercially available Ethernet cable.

The RJ45 connectors of REAC ports can accept either RJ45 plugs or EtherCon plugs.

Cautions for handling Cat5e cables

•Do not apply excessive force to Cat5e cables.

•Do not bundle (bend) a Cat5e cable to a radius less than 25 mm, or fold it in two.

•Do not tightly bundle a Cat5e cable.

•Do not place multiple Cat5e cables in parallel for an extended distance.

•Do not place Cat5e cables near a source of electrical noise (power supply cord, motor, fluorescent lights, etc.).

REAC connections

Here is a typical example of connections using the S-1608.

When connecting REAC devices to each other, the REAC mode of one device must be set to REAC master, and the REAC mode of the other must be set to REAC slave.

In this system, the M-200i is normally set to be the master (FOH setting), while the input/output units are set to be slaves.

For a more detailed description of connections, refer to “REAC applications” (p. 96).

Cat5e Ethernet cables up to 100 meters long are supported. If you need a longer connection, we recommend that you use the optional S-OPT.

Cautions when making REAC connections

•REAC connections are designed so that noise will not be produced even if you hot-swap (plug or unplug a live connection). However in rare cases, noise may occur at the audio output of the system. To prevent hot-swapping from causing damage to your speakers or other equipment connected to the audio outputs, please observe the following points:

•Make REAC connections while holding down the [MUTE ALL OUTPUTS] of the input/output unit

•Before you make REAC connections, mute the outputs using [MUTE ALL OUT] in the MUTE GROUP screen (p. 62).

In some cases, the muted state will continue even after you release your finger from [MUTE ALL OUTPUTS] of the input/ output unit. In this case, press [MUTE ALL OUTPUTS] once again to mute, and then release your finger to unmute the unit.

AC power connections

Depending on the circumstances of a particular setup, you may experience a discomforting sensation, or perceive that the surface feels gritty to the touch when you touch this device, microphones connected to it, or the metal portions of other objects, such as guitars. This is due to an infinitesimal electrical charge, which is absolutely harmless. However, if you are concerned about this, connect the ground terminal (see figure) with an external ground. When the unit is grounded, a slight hum may occur, depending on the particulars of your installation. If you are unsure of the connection method, contact the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the Information leaflet.

You can use this power cord hook to prevent the power cord from being accidentally disconnected.

For details on attaching the power cord hook, refer to “Attaching the power cord hook” (p. 14).

16 Grounding terminal

Unsuitable places for connection.

Do not ground the M-200i to locations such as the following:

•Water pipes (may result in shock or electrocution)

•Gas pipes (may result in fire or explosion)

•Telephone-line ground or lightning rod (may be dangerous in the event of lightning)

Depending on the circumstances of a particular setup, you may experience a discomforting sensation, or perceive that the surface feels gritty to the touch when you touch this device, microphones connected to it, or the metal portions of other objects, such as guitars. This is due to an infinitesimal electrical charge, which is absolutely harmless. However, if you are concerned about this, connect the ground terminal with an external ground. When the unit is grounded, a slight hum may occur, depending on the particulars of your installation. If you are unsure of the connection method, contact the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” leaflet.
