Precautions for Using a
Rack-mounted DME Satellite
Introduction to
the DME Satellite
If several DME Satellite units (or a DME Satellite unit together with other devices) are installed in a poorly-ventilated
rack, the heat generated by each unit may raise the temperature inside the rack, preventing the DME Satellite from performing as designed. When mounting DME Satellite units
in a rack, please leave one rack space vacant for every two
units. You can attach a ventilation panel to this space or leave
it open to prevent excessive heat build-up.
Controls and
Connectors
If the temperature inside the rack is expected to rise above 40
degrees Celsius or 104 degrees Fahrenheit (or if the ambient
temperature outside the rack is expected to rise above 30 degrees Celsius or 86 Fahrenheit), install a fan kit in the top
row of the rack. The fan must provide airflow of 1.6m
or more and static pressure of 5mmH

Glossary for the DME Satellite
Connecting to
a Computer
Multiple DME series units that are interconnected in a network via Ethernet function as a single audio system.
In a DME audio system, a group of the same models that can be operated in sync is called a “device group;” audio
processing divisions that accommodate multiple device groups are called “zones;” and the entire area serviced by
the acoustic system is called an “area.”
Each device group always includes one DME series unit that functions as the “group master” and controls all other
DME series units in the same device group.
If a computer is connected to the network, you can use the computer to control an entire device group via the
group master.
This section explains terminology specific to the DME Satellite.
Components and parameters
The individual audio processing modules (equalizers, compressors, etc.) are called “components.”
External head amplifier control modules are also available as components.
Changing the parameters of components enables control over the operation of the components.

Configuration
A “configuration” is a complete set of components for constructing an audio system.
Each configuration determines the audio function(s) of the corresponding DME Satellite unit.
All parameter sets included with each component in a configuration are called “preset parameters.”
One DME Satellite unit has a number of configurations, and a configuration has a number of preset parameters.

DME Designer software enables you to integrate, configure, and control the DME series system from a connected
computer.
You can build the DME series audio system using graphic blocks in DME Designer that are displayed on the computer monitor.
The DME series settings, configuration, and parameter data are transferred from the computer to the DME series
unit via the USB or Ethernet connection.
DME series settings, configuration, and parameter data is sent via USB or Ethernet to the connected DME series
unit. After the data is transmitted, you can disconnect the DME series unit from the computer and use it as an
independent processor.
You can also connect it to a computer and control it in realtime from DME Designer.
If multiple DME series units are connected in the network, DME Designer enables you to build a configuration
that includes those units.
Refer to the “Connecting to a Computer” (page 22) for more information on connecting a computer to the DME
Satellite. For details on how to install DME Designer and the drivers that are required for connection, refer to the

About CobraNet
CobraNet in a nutshell
Developed by Cirrus Logic, Inc., U.S., CobraNet technology allows real-time uncompressed digital audio distribution over industry-standard Fast Ethernet (100 megabits/sec.) networks.
Up to 128 channels, 64 in each direction, can be carried simultaneously over a CobraNet network.
(The number of channels available depends on the performance of the devices and the condition of audio signals.)
CobraNet currently supports a 48 or 96 kHz sampling rate with 16, 20, or 24-bit resolution.
It can also transfer control data along with audio signals.
The type of control data that the network can handle depends on the type of devices on the network.
When an audio signal passes through the CobraNet network, it causes a fixed latency of 5.33 milliseconds (or,
depending on the setting, 2.67 or 1.33 milliseconds).

Bundle
Foreword
Introduction to
the DME Satellite
Connectors
Controls and
CobraNet network transmits digital audio data in bundles. When bundles are received, they are converted back
into the original digital audio data.
With the DME Satellite, a single bundle can carry up to eight channels of digital audio.
For routing around the network, bundles are assigned numbers from 1 through 65,279. If you set the same bundle
number on both transmitting and receiving devices, digital audio data can be transmitted over CobraNet network.
There is no limitation to the number of bundles that can be transmitted and received over the CobraNet network,
as long as there are enough network resources.
The number of bundles that can be handled depends on the device.
The DME Satellite can use up to 4 output bundles and up to 8 input bundles.
You can specify the bundle number by using the DME Designer application.
The maximum number of channels that can be assigned to each bundle is as follows.
*Since 96-kHz audio is handled as two 48-kHz signals combined, the maximum number of channels is halved.
** The audio signal output from the 4th channel will include some aliasing noise, and proper operation cannot be guaranteed.
Please do not use this channel.
NOTE
The number of channels per bundled can be changes as shown below.
Depending on the configuration, the maximum number of channels that can be handle may be less than 8.
CobraNet bundles can be either multicast or unicast.
Multicast bundles are transmitted from one device to multiple devices on the network (one-to-many). Unicast
bundles are transmitted from one device to another (one-to-one).
Unicast bundles are transmitted only when another device is configured to receive them by assigning the same
bundle numbers. On the other hand, multicast bundles are transmitted to all devices on the network regardless of
whether any devices are configured to receive them, and only devices that are configured to receive those bundles
actually process them.
It is recommended that no more than four multicast bundles (offering up to 32 channels) be used, since transmission of multicast bundles consumes more network resources.
Unicast bundles should be used if five or more bundles are required. It is also possible to set multiple devices to
receive the same unicast bundle number, and depending on the transmitting device up to 4 receiving devices may
be able to simultaneously receive the same bundle. This situation is known as “multi-unicast.” The DME Satellite
is capable of handling multi-unicast bundles.
Multicast and unicast bundles are identified by bundle number. Multicast bundles are numbered 1 through 255.
Unicast bundles are numbered 256 through 65,279.

Introduction to the DME Satellite
Conductors and performers
One device on the CobraNet network works as the conductor (network sync master). All other CobraNet devices
are performers (network sync slaves). Each device synchronizes its own internal clock to the beat packets (sync
signals) transmitted by the conductor.
The conductor device is chosen automatically and no user intervention is required.
However, setting an appropriate conductor priority could enable users to assign any device as the conductor.
Refer to the DME Designer Owner’s Manual for more information on setting the conductor priority.
If the DME Satellite is the conductor, the [IN USE/CONDUCTOR] LED flashes orange.
If the conductor fails, another device automatically takes over.
Since the conductor transmits beat packets (sync signals) onto the network, each performer does not require an
external word clock connection, reducing cabling complexity and cost.
Any non-networked digital audio equipment should derive its word clock from a CobraNet networked device.
NOTE
All CobraNet networked devices, regardless of whether each device serves as the conductor or a performer, can receive digital
audio data and control data.

To connect multiple DME Satellite units to a network, you must assign appropriate IP addresses and make other
network settings on all units. To achieve this, you need to connect the [USB] connector of one of the DME Satellite units to the USB port of the computer using USB cables, install USB-MIDI Driver and DME Designer on
the computer, then assign the IP addresses to the DME Satellite units from DME Designer.
NOTE
•Refer to the “DME Setup Manual” (PDF file) for details on installing USB-MIDI Driver and DME Designer.
•Make sure that the USB-MIDI Driver’s THRU setting is “OFF.”
•Refer to “Network Settings” on page 23 for more information on assigning IP addresses from DME Designer.
USB connections can be used in the following three ways:
(1) Set up the network (e.g., assign a unique IP address to each DME Satellite) from DME Designer.
(2) Control the DME Satellite from DME Designer.
(3) Connect to any individual DME Satellite and control that DME Satellite unit by transmitting MIDI com-
mands from a MIDI sequencer or similar software.
NOTE
• When using a DME Satellite together with the DME64N/24N, you must assign the DME Satellite (including the DME8iES/DME8o-ES/DME4io-ES) as the master.
• The computer on which DME Designer is running can be connected to either the group master or a slave DME series unit.
• The correspondence between the MIDI commands to be received/transmitted and the scene parameters can be set up using
DME Designer.
• The USB port being used by DME Designer is not available for use by a MIDI sequencer or other application.
Use DME Designer to specify the IP address, master/slave, and master ID settings as follows.
Setting the IP address
Each group of digits between periods in an IP address is called an “octet.” These groups of digits are called “1st
octet,” “2nd octet,” etc., starting from the left-most digit group.
You cannot specify 0, 127, or 223 through 255 for the 1st octet of the network address.
You can specify the following range of values for the 4th octet.
Master : 2-253
Slave: 3-253

•Subnet mask is fixed at 255.255.255.0.
• The network address of Gateway is the same as that of IP address. The host address of Gateway is automatically set to 254.
• Assign each of DME series units a unique IP address so that there are no duplicates. Assigning duplicate IP addresses may
cause serious network problems.
•You cannot make any network settings while using the DME Designer application on-line. To make network settings, first
set DME Designer off-line. Refer to the DME Designer Owner’s Manual for details.
•If you have connected a PM5D and a DME Satellite via CobraNet and are controlling the DME Satellite from the PM5D,
you must specify a value of 2 as the fourth octet of the group master DME Satellite’s IP address.
Master and slave setting
Each device group must have one master. All other devices in the group are assigned as slave.
The fourth octet of a slave DME Satellite’s master ID must be the same value as the fourth octet of the group
master DME Satellite’s IP address.
NOTE
When using a DME Satellite together with the DME64N/24N, you must assign the DME Satellite (including the DME8iES/DME8o-ES/DME4io-ES) as the master. If you assign the DME64N/24N as the device group master, you will be unable to
synchronize using DME Designer.

You can connect devices in the same device group directly to each other using Ethernet cables, without connecting
them to a switching hub. If they are DME Satellite units, you can use either crossover cables or straight cables. In
this case, from DME Designer set Link Mode on both units to the same setting. Devices in different subnet (different network address) groups can be connected via a router or layer-3 compliant switching hub.
HINT
Since the DME Satellite supports Auto MDI/MDI-X, it will automatically detect whether the connected cable is of the
straight type or crossover type, and will configure itself to create the optimal connection. Therefore, you can use either a
straight or crossover cable.
•Use a switching hub that is compatible with 100Base-TX/10Base-T network speeds.
The maximum length of a cable between a switching hub and the DME Satellite is 100 meters. Due to the quality of cables
and switching hub performance, however, proper operation at the maximum length cannot be guaranteed in some cases.
Use a STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cable to prevent electromagnetic interference.
•If you are using multiple DME series units, set Link Mode on each unit to the same setting. Yamaha recommends that you
select 100Base-TX for the Link Mode setting.
•You can also connect a supported controller such as the AMX or Crestron, and control the DME Satellite remotely. For
details, refer to “Connecting to an External Device” on page 30.
The DME Satellite CobraNet connectors enable you to transfer digital audio, control, and word clock signals. Refer to page 15 for more information on CobraNet.
Connecting and setting up the DME Satellite in accordance with other CobraNet compatible equipment allows
for broad-ranging audio and word clock signal networkability. Refer to the MY16-C or MY16-CII Owner’s Manual for more information on the corresponding interface card.

A GPI (General Purpose Interface) device (GPI controller, etc.) can be connected to the rear panel [GPI] connectors to enable the transfer of a variety of control signals. Optional CP4SW, CP4SF, and CP1SF Control Panels
can be also connected via GPI.
The DME Satellite features 8-port GPI input and 4-port GPI output. The +V terminals have an output voltage
of 5 volts. The IN terminal detects voltage changes from 0V to 5V. The OUT terminals output either signal “L”
or “H” at a TTL level.
The parameters for each GPI input and output are assigned via the DME Designer application.
Euroblock connectors are used for all GPI input and output connections. Euroblock connection methods are de-
scribed in “Euroblock plug connection” on page 29 in this manual.
NOTE
•For more information on the CP4SW, CP4SF, and CP1SF Control Panels, refer to the CP4SW/CP4SF/ CP1SF Owner’s
Manual.
•You can use DME Designer to set up the system so that scene recall operations and User Defined parameter control can be
carried out from connected GPI control devices. Refer to the DME Designer Owner’s Manual for details.

Messages Transmitted When Multiple Messages are Assigned to
the Same Parameter
The DME8i-C/DME8o-C/DME4io-C MIDI transmit messages
are specified via the “MIDI Control Change Table” and “MIDI Parameter Change Table.”
(The “MIDI Control Change Table” and “MIDI Parameter
Change Table” can be set up via DME Designer.)
Multiple messages can be assigned to a single parameter, but the
DME8i-C/DME8o-C/DME4io-C will only transmit one of the assigned messages.
The transmitted messages are as follows:
• If a Control Change message and a Parameter Change message
are assigned to the same parameter
→ the Control Change message will be transmitted.
• If multiple Control Change numbers are assigned to the same parameter
→ the smallest Control Change number message will be transmitted.
• If multiple Parameter Change numbers are assigned to the same
parameter
→ the smallest Parameter Change number message will be transmitted.
Supplementary Information 2
Setting the Parameter Change Message Parameter Data Values
The Parameter change parameter values are expressed as 32-bit in-
tegers with or without parity.
•A parity bit (positive:0, negative:1) is added above the most significant value bit (bit 31).
• Fractional parameters will be converted according to the integer
table.
• For integers with parity, negative numbers are expressed as the
2’s complement.
