How to Use This Supplement

The DMX-R100 software had been updated from Version 2.0 to Version 2.1 to enable use of the optional DMBK-R109 MADI board. Subsequently, it was updated to Version 2.2 to improve the control link between two DMX-R100s connected in cascade mode, operation of the fader group and so on. This supplement provides information to help update the DMX-R100 software to Version 2.1 or later, descriptions of changes/additions to the specifications made in the DMX-R100 and information on the function of the optional DMBK-R109 MADI board

and how to use it. also provided are the corrections to the Operating Instructions (Part No. 3-868-264-13 (1)).

For conventional functions that will not be affected by the software update, refer to the Operating Instructions (Part No. 3-868-264-13 (1)).

What You Need to Use the Optional DMBK-R109 MADI Board

Updating the DMX-R100 Software of the Console

After you have updated the system to Version 2.0, you can reinstall either Version 1.1x or Version 2.x at any time.

You can use the optional DMBK-R109 MADI board only with DMX-R100, Version 2.1 or later. Be sure to confirm that the software version displayed when you start the console is Version 2.1 or later before using the DMBK-R109.

•If the version information displayed indicates Version

2.0, update the software using the APPLICATION UPDATE 2.x disk, referring to “Updating the DMXR100 Software” on page 5.

•When the version you have is Version 1.x, it is necessary to update the software to Version 2.0 first, then to Version 2.1 because the system files of Version 2.0 are different from those of Version 1.x. To update the system from Version 1.0 to 2.0, purchase the V2.0 update kit (not supplied) and update the system to Version 2.0 using the SYSTEM UPDATE 2.0 disk provided with the V2.0 update kit first. Then, update the system to Version 2.1 using the APPLICATION UPDATE 2.x disk supplied with the DMBK-R109. Contact with your nearest Sony dealer to purchase the V2.0 Update Kit and the latest APPLICATION UPDATE.

For detailed information on how to update the system to Version 2.0, refer to “Updating the DMX-R100 Version” on page 98 in the Operating Instructions for the DMX-R100 (Part No. 3-868-264-13 (1)).

Compatibility of Titles

•You can use a title saved using the Version 2.0 console with Version 2.1.

•You can use a title saved using the Version 2.1 console with Version 2.0. However, settings related to the DMBK-R109 are ignored and input and output connections to the DMBK-R109 are treated as NC (NO CONNECTION). Also, the setting of MANUAL GROUP of Version 2.2 is cleared.

•A title saved using the Version 1.x console is not compatible with a title saved using the Version 2.x console. If you try to load a title saved using Version

1.x from the flash memory to the Version 2.x console, a title error occurs and the title saved using Version 1.x is automatically lost.

•If you try to recall a title saved using Version 2.x from the Version 1.x console, a title error occurs and you cannot use that title. Also, if you try to load a title saved using Version 2.x from the flash memory to the Version 1.x console, a title error occurs and the title saved using Version 2.x is automatically lost.

Updating the DMX-R100 Software

When you press “y,” the update programs are decompressed, and the disk files are installed in order, with the process showing on the screen.

1 Confirm that you have the update files,

“APPLICATION UPDATE 2.1x” on the DOSformatted floppy disk.

2 Connect a PS/2 keyboard (not supplied) to the

console and turn on the power of the console. The start-up window opens.

3 Press the ESC key on the external keyboard a few

times until the dialogue “Loading now......”

appears in white on a blue screen.

When the console system enters the software update mode, the dialogue “Will you update this system? (y/n)” appears.

4 To execute the update, press “y” on the keyboard.

If you enter this mode by mistake, press “n.” When you press “n,” the system starts as usual.

WARNING

Never press “y” without having prepared the update floppy disk beforehand. If a DMX-R100 executes the update operations without the correct update disk, the console software files may be damaged and the console may not work properly.

When you press “y,” the message “Insert the floppy disk and press any key.” appears.

When a DMX-R100 system has been updated, the message “Update for XXXX completed. Remove your floppy disk and press any key...” appears.

7 Remove the floppy disk and press the space bar on

the keyboard.

8 When the message “Stand-by....” appears, turn the

power of the console OFF once. Wait more than 10 seconds, then turn the power ON again.

The DMX-R100 will now run using Version 2.1x of the software.

Note

After the DMX-R100 software has been updated, the calibration data of the fader is reset to the default settings. Thus, after finishing a software update, calibrate the fader position.

For detailed information on how to calibrate the fader position, refer to page 96 in the Operating Instructions.

Inserting the DMBK-R109 into the Console

Be sure to insert the optional DMBK-R109 MADI board into SLOT 4 of the console. Contact your nearest Sony dealer for assistance when adding the board.

Note

Be sure to turn the power of the console off before inserting an optional board into a slot. Failing to do so results in the cause of console or optional board malfunction.

5 Insert the “APPLICATION UPDATE 2.1x” disk

into the floppy disk drive on the console, and press the space bar on the keyboard. The specifics of the update and the “This updater is ...OK? (y/n)” message appear.

6 Confirm the information on the screen, then;

• press “y” on the keyboard, to start the update.

• if the screen shows incorrect information or parameters, press “n” to cancel the update operation.

When your system is not configured in a cascade connection, the description of the INFORMATION section is completely the same as the one on pages 92 and 93 in the Operating Instructions. When your system is configured in the cascade connection, the description after “VALIDITY” is changed as follows: On the console set as the cascade master unit, “- - - -” is displayed even if the IN button of SLOT 4 is selected. Even if channels 1 to 24 of the MADI signal input to the sub console are preemphasized, the master console cannot detect this. Thus, confirm the setting on the I/O STATUS window of the sub console, and then set the DE EMP button manually as required. Only when the DE EMP button is set to ON, will the audio signal be deemphasized. However, since the bus signals output from the cascade sub console are not preemphasized, set the DE EMP button to OFF or AUTO for the channel corresponding to the bus.

Note

There are some AES/EBU or MADI devices which do not add the correct channel status to their digital audio output signals. When the console inputs those signals, errors occur on the descriptions after VALIDITY and !xxx is displayed on the IN buttons of each slot. This is not a malfunctions. (xxx indicates the abbreviation of an error item.) Use the signals as they are, after checking that there are no audible problems with the input audio signals.

5 Page select buttons

When a DMBK-R109 is inserted into SLOT 4, the page select buttons are displayed at the right side of the screen. Set these buttons as required.
