Introduction

About M-200i RCS

M-200i RCS is application software that runs on Windows or Mac. It lets you edit M­200i project files, and remotely control the M-200i.

The two modes of M-200i RCS

M-200i RCS has two modes: Offline mode and Online mode.
Offline mode
Introduction
In this mode you can edit an M-200i project file via USB memory. The advantage of this mode is that you can edit mixer parameters and scene memories even when the M-200i itself is not at hand.
fig.OfflineEdit.eps
Save the project fileLoad the project file

USB memory
Load the project fileSave the project file
Online mode
In this mode you can connect your computer to the M-200i via USB, and control the M-200i remotely. Since M-200i RCS lets you use your mouse and keyboard to control the M-200i, you can operate it in a more intuitive manner. In addition, M-200i RCS can show a separate screen that is different from the screen shown on the M-200i itself, letting you view and edit more information simultaneously.
fig.OnlineEdit.eps
Control the M-200i
USB cable
You can also create a new
project file in M-200i RCS and
load it into the M-200i.
Operations on the M-200i are fed back

Differences from the M-200i itself

M-200i RCS cannot monitor the audio signals within the M-200i. Nor can it operate the following parameters and buttons:
• Parameters of the RECORDER screen
• Parameters of the SYSTEM screen
• Parameters of the REAC screen
• Parameters of the USER PREFERENCE screen
• Parameters of the REMOTE screen
• Parameters of the NETWORK screen
• Parameters of the USB MEMORY screen
• USER FADER layer
• USER button
• PHONES LEVEL knob setting
• [TALKBACK] button
• [SOLO CLEAR] button
