Notes for DME64N/DME24N Version 1.2

Thank you for purchasing the DME64N/DME24N. The following notes supplement the information in the Owner’s Manual about DME64N/DME24N.

Upgrading Cautions

• The following parameter will not be reﬂected in Version 1.2 when it is used to read data created in Version 1.0.0: SlotIn/SlotOut. Remake these settings in DME Designer Version 1.2.

• Data created using Version 1.2 will not open properly on Version 1.1.

•Version 1.2 will not work with previous version in the area. When using Version 1.2, all DME ﬁrmware (program and components), along with DME Designer, must be upgraded to Version 1.2 simultaneously. For instructions on performing the version upgrade, see “DME Firmware Update” in Chapter 3 “Main Panel Window” of the “DME Designer Version 1.2 Owner’s Manual.”

•To use the DME CONTROL function on the PM5D, the PM5D must be version 1.12 or later, and connected DME64N/24N units must be version 1.1 or later.

• For details about DME CONTROL function settings in the PM5D, see the “PM5D/PM5D-RH Owner’s Manual.”

Changes in Version 1.2

An Edit Indicator has been added.

If a parameter is changed after recalling a scene, a dot will appear in the scene number indicator, and “EDIT” will appear in the display.

The User-deﬁned parameters display is changed.

“No Assign” settings in DME Designer are displayed as dotted lines. When [Parameter Value Edit] is selected the display will be a solid line. When [Direct Parameter Value], [Scene Change], [GPI Out], or [Play Wav File] are selected, the display will be inverted.

The Remote parameter has been added to Utility display “Misc” page.

• The REMOTE connector can be used as a MIDI connector.

•A new communications protocol allows AMX, Crestron, and other external devices to control the DME.

For details about the communication protocol refer to the “DME-N Remote Control Protocol Speciﬁcations” document. The “DME-N Remote Control Protocol Speciﬁcations” document can be found at the Yamaha Pro Audio website:

Changes in Version 1.1

For information on changes to DME Designer, see the “DME Designer Version 1.2 Owner’s Manual.”

The default gateway IP address is changed.

In Version 1.0, the default IP gateway address was ***.***.***.1, but in Version 1.1, the address is changed to ***.***.***.254. Consequently, while the zone slave IP addresses in Version 1.0 were ***.***.***.3 through ***.***.***.254, they have changed in Version 1.1 to ***.***.***.3 through ***.***.***.253.

An initialization function has been added.

With this function you can initialize the DME64N/24N and the ICP1. Turn the power OFF, then turn it back on again while holding down the [SCENE] and [ENTER] buttons.

1. Holding down the [SCENE] and [ENTER] buttons

Plug the PA-300 AC adaptor while holding down the [SCENE] and [ENTER] buttons.

01. Initialize DME: Returns to the factory setting. (Deletes all user settings except component data.)

02. Delete All Data: Deletes all data.

03. ==> Exit Diag Mode: Leaves this screen and restarts.

2. Press the [POWER] button

A THRU connection function has been added.

Even in an environment with no computer, you can check the connections without using DME Designer by directly connecting the DME64N/24N input/output. The meter does not operate during a connection check. This is set on the CHECK page of the utility screen.

MODE: OFF

Makes connections in the conﬁguration used in the current scene. This is set to OFF when the unit is started.

MODE: Thru

Directly connects the Input and Output of each slot one-to-one for each channel. When input-only or output-only cards like AD or DA cards are inserted in the slots, you cannot perform checks in this mode. In the DME24N, the internal AD and internal DA are directly connected on each channel.

MODE: Summing

Sums all input signals coming from Inputs (-12dB), without regard to device or card type, and outputs it through all Outputs.

The Event Scheduler function allows day/time settings for events

The settings are accessible via the Utility display “Misc” page. Refer to the “DME Designer Version 1.2 Owner’s Manual” for details.

Event Scheduler

Determines whether an event schedule setup in the DME Designer will be executed or not, and displays the current status.

ON: The event will be executed. OFF: The event schedule will not be executed.

A DAW control function has been added.

With this function you can control the DME64N/24N from a DAW controller.

1. Parameter Control Function

Lets you control DME64N/24N parameters using a DAW Controller. For example, if the PAN parameter is assigned to CH1 of the DAW controller, you can control the PAN parameter by operating a knob.

There are two modes in the parameter control function, as follows:

(1) General Parameter Operation Mode

[KNOB] and [CH FADER] controls are used to operate internal parameters assigning them in DME Designer. For detailed settings, see the “DME Designer Version 1.2 Owner’s Manual.”

(2) Final Output Stage Parameter Operation Mode

Final output stage parameters are operated using [MUTE] and [CH FADER] controls. Unlike the General Parameter Control Mode, controls and the parameters that are compatible with them, are ﬁxed in this mode.

[Method of Operation]

Switches to General Internal Parameter Control Mode. Switches to Final Output Stage Parameter Control Mode.

[BANK <][BANK >]: The channels targeted for operation are shifted by the number of channels built into the DAW

controller.

[CH <][CH >]: The channels targeted for operation are shifted one channel at a time. [SELECT]: Switches the display method on the DAW controller.

When turned OFF, an overall display appears. When a channel is turned ON, the detail display appears for that channel. For information about the overall and detail displays, see the next item, “Setting and Parameter Name Display Function.”

[KNOB]: Changes assigned parameters in the General Internal Parameter Operation Mode.

This is not used in the Final Output Stage Parameter Operation Mode.

[MUTE]: This is not used in the General Internal Parameter Operation Mode.

This turns muting ON or OFF for the corresponding channel in the Final Output Stage Parameter Operation Mode.

[CH FADER]: Changes assigned parameters in the General Internal Parameter Operation Mode.

This adjusts volume for the corresponding channel in the Final Output Stage Parameter Operation Mode.

NOTE

Only one parameter can be assigned to the same channel.

2. Setting and parameter name display function

Displays the settings and parameter names on the DAW controller’s LCD screen. There are two display methods: over-all display and detail display.

Overall Display: The overall display shows the assigned parameter names and settings, organized by DAW channels. Detail Display: In the detail display, you select the parameter you want to display. Only information for that parameter

appears on the DAW controller’s LCD screen.

NOTE

The number of characters that can be displayed is limited by the size of the DRAW’s LCD screen.
