Introduction
Welcome
Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha 03D Video Edit Suite Software. With support for the
ESAM II editor protocol, the 03D Video Edit Suite software turns the 03D Digital Mixing
Console into a full-feature digital audio mixer for video post-pro.
Features
• Audio signals can be mixed and edited along with the video editing.
• With support for ESAM II, the 03D works like a video switcher for audio, allowing
remote transition previews from a video editor.
• Several extended functions of the ESAM II protocol including remote fader level control
have been employed.
• 03D data can be downloaded or uploaded to the video editor for centralized data management.
• Phase reverse, input delay up to approximately six frames (with 1/4 frame accuracy),
4-band parametric EQ, dynamics, and effects for flexible audio mixing and audio sweetening.
• The 03D does not require extra hardware, such as boards and ports. A 9-pin TO EDITOR port comes as standard.
• Channels can be assigned to the 03D’s four bus outputs as FROM sources and TO
sources, allowing for dissolve transitions. Crossfades can be performed using one of
seven crossfade patterns, which can be set individually for each channel, and three curve
slopes, which can be applied to all channels globally.
• The 03D’s motorized faders allow for accurate level adjustments and precisely reflect
input level settings. In FROM-TO mode, faders reflect transition levels.
• Preview sources can be selected for monitoring, and CHANNEL and BUS modes allow
individual channel monitoring or bus monitoring.
Package Contents
The package should contain the following items. Make sure that you have them all.
• 03D regular software (Mac and PC disks labeled “03D”)
• 03D Video Edit Suite software (Mac and PC disks labeled “03D for Video Editing”)
• This Owner’s Manual

• Use the floppy disks labeled “03D” instead of the “03D for Video Editing” disks.
• On the Macintosh floppy disks, the compressed file for the regular 03D software is
“03D_VxxxMIX.sea” (instead of “03VEKxxxMIX.sea”)
• The “T” data file is “03D_Vxxx.T” (instead of “03VEKxxx.T”)
• The “X” data file is “03D_Vxxx.X” (instead of “03VEKxxx.X”)
• You don’t have to use the same type of computer to reinstall the regular 03D software.
For example, if you installed the 03D Video Edit Suite software using a Macintosh computer, you can reinstall the regular 03D software using either a Macintosh or Windows
95 PC.

About the Video Edit Suite Software
About the Video Edit Suite Software
ESAM II
The 03D Video Edit Suite supports only ESAM (Editing Suite Audio Mixers) Serial II Protocol-Extended. See page 28 for a list of supported commands.
Video Edit Suite Functions
This sections lists the new functions provided by the 03D Video Edit Suite software.
Crossfade
Crossfades can be performed over the number of frames specified by the ESAM II commands sent from the editor. ESAM II allows you to specify from between 0 to 32,767 frames
in single frame steps (1,365 seconds at 24 frames/second). The maximum frame value
depends on the editor being used. Audio control accuracy is within one frame (only when
no other 03D functions are being used).
8
Local Switch
Using Local mode, which works only when the CH 1–16 or 17–24/Stin pages are displayed,
the channel [SEL] buttons can be used to set channels to ignore incoming ESAM II commands. When a [SEL] button’s indicator is off, that channel responds to incoming ESAM II
commands. When it’s flashing, the channel is in Local mode and ignores ESAM II commands. See
CH 1-16 & 17-24/Stin Pages on page 21 for more information.
Three Setup Memories
Video Edit Suite settings such as SOURCE/MACHINE ASSIGN, FRAME TYPE, FADER
MODE, and reference levels for the auto-level setting function can be stored in the TO EDITOR SETUP MEMORY (1, 2, 3). See
MIDI/HOST Page on page 14 for more information.
Crossfade Patterns & Curves
One of seven crossfade patterns can be assigned to each source (channel), and one of three
curves can be applied to sources globally. See
tion.
CrossFade Page on page 16 for more informa-
Limit Level Setting
The fade out level or “floor” can be set to from 0 dB to minus infinity. See MIDI/HOST Page
on page 14 for more information.
Automatic Level Setting
By reading the level of the test tone at the beginning of a reel (tape), the gain is set automatically so that the nominal level set by the user corresponds to the output level. The adjustable
range is from –18 dB to +18 dB. If the level exceeds this range and cannot be controlled by
the 03D, a warning message appears. For channels configured as a stereo pair, only the left
channel is used for level sensing. The level determined for the left channel is also applied to
the right channel. Due to circuitry limitations, the levels may vary between channels. See
MIDI/HOST Page on page 14 for more information.
03D Video Edit Suite Software—Owner’s Manual

Specify Input & Output Delay in Frames
In addition to samples and time, input and output delays can also be specified as frames in
quarter-frame steps. With a sampling rate of 48 kHz and the Frame Type set to DF, the delay
range is approximately six frames. See
When a bus out is selected, and the LONGER OUTPUT DELAY TIME option is turned on,
the OFFSET parameter appears on the CH Delay page. This parameters sets the delay for
bus outs globally, and can be used to correct the timing between audio and video. An offset/delay of up to four frames in single frame steps can be set.
On the Prefer. page, the LONGER OUTPUT DELAY TIME option allows you to increase
the output delay by 3,160 samples. Since the input and output delay functions share the same
memory, the maximum input delay is reduced by 3,160 samples when this option is on. See
Prefer. Page on page 22 for more information.
Pan Flip
Assigning the new PAN L-C-R Flip function to a USER DEFINE button allows you to quickly
pan from center to right, to left, to center, and so on. See
more information.
Delay Page on page 23 for more information.
User Define Page on page 25 for
Master Level Protect
Bus out and aux send master faders can be protected against accidental operation by using
the MASTER LEVEL PROTECT option on the Prefer. page. This is useful when master levels
are not adjusted regularly. See
Prefer. Page on page 22 for more information.
Inputs 9-16/17-24 Swap
Analog inputs 9 to 16 and digital inputs 17 to 24 can be swapped so that the analog inputs
appears as channels 17 to 24 and the digital inputs appear as channel 9 to 16. This allows
you to control signals from the digital inputs without pressing the [MIXING LAYER] button.
The SWAP CH option is on the Prefer. page. See
tion.
Prefer. Page on page 22 for more informa-
New EQ Programs
The following three programs have been added to the end of the EQ library.
• 80. 60 Hz hum removal
• 79. 50 Hz hum removal
• 78. High-range white noise (i.e., tape hiss) removal using LPF
After installing the Video Edit Suite software, you must initialize all memories to access the
new EQ programs. See
EQ Library Page on page 26 for more information.
New Effects Programs
The following three programs have been added to the end of the effects library.
• 96. Echo Reverb
• 95. FEMALE Pitch
• 94. MALE Pitch
After installing the Video Edit Suite software, you must initialize all memories to access the
new effects programs. See

How it works 12
How it works
Channel level adjustments are performed using the channel fader. Crossfades are performed
by the ESAM fader, which appears after the channel fader. The input level is controlled by
the INPUT LEVEL ADJUST control. Both controls are shown in the following illustration.

When the TO EDITOR parameter is set to ENABLE and the 03D is being remotely controlled
by an editor, the channel send level is controlled by the CH fader and ESAM fader. ESAM
faders on channels specified using the FROM command are set to nominal (0 dB). ESAM
faders on channels specified using the TO command are set to the LIMIT LEVEL (usually
minus infinity). After a crossfade, FROM command channels are set to the LIMIT LEVEL,
while TO command channels are set to nominal (0 dB).
When the TO EDITOR parameter is set to DISABLE, the 03D operates as normal (i.e.,
ESAM II commands are ignored). Likewise, a channel in Local mode (i.e., the LOCAL
ON/OFF switch in the ON position) operates as normal, ignoring ESAM II commands.
Local mode is engaged using the [SEL] buttons, but works only when the CH 1–16 or
17–24/Stin pages are displayed. The following illustration shows a channel in Local mode
(or with the TO EDITOR parameter set to DISABLE).

The editor should be configured so that the recording machine can be monitored. Typically,
the editor will be set to EE mode (Electric-to-Electric).
When the 03D’s output delay is used, it functions as a predelay and the sound will not be
synchronized with the video.
When input channels or bus outputs are configured as stereo pairs, set the corresponding
pan controls hard left and hard right (note there is a 3 dB signal gain in this condition).
To output digital bus signals via the ST DIGITAL OUT connection, use the BUS TO ST function.

MIDI/HOST Page
This section explains the parameters on the MIDI/HOST page shown below. Use the [UTILITY] button to locate this page.
HOST INTERFACE—The STAND. and MULTI. switches under HOST INTERFACE are
the same as the STANDARD I/F and MULTIPORT switches on the regular 03D. The EDITOR switch is used to activate the TO EDITOR port for use with a video editor.
TO EDITOR SETUP MEMORY—Three setup memories are available for storing settings
related to the TO EDITOR port. When the memory contents match the current settings,
these switches are grayed out. When a parameter setting is changed, the RECALL and STORE
switches can be used to recall the stored settings or store the new settings. The following
parameters are stored in these memories: FRAME TYPE, PARITY FLAG, FADER MODE,
INPUT LEVEL ADJUST OUTPUT level, and SOURCE/MACHINE ASSIGN settings.
INPUT LEVEL ADJUST—The OUTPUT level control determines the send level when the
fader is set to nominal (0 dB), and can be set from –48 dB to 0 dB in 1 dB steps. The input
level of the selected channel can be set manually or automatically so that the channel level
matches the specified output level. This setting is based on the assumption that the level will
not be changed using the faders, pan, EQ, or dynamics.
By reading the level of the test tone at the beginning of a reel (tape), the gain can be set automatically so that the nominal level set by the user corresponds to the output level. The adjustable range is from –18 dB to +18 dB in 0.5 dB steps. If the level exceeds this range and cannot
be controlled, a warning message appears. For channels configured as a stereo pair, only the
left channel is used for level sensing. The level determined for the left channel is also applied
to the right channel. Due to circuitry limitations, the levels may vary between channels.
To automatically set the level for a channel, select the channel, use the cursor buttons to select
the AUTO switch, and then press the [ENTER] button.
To manually set the level for a channel, select the channel, use the cursor buttons to select
the MANUAL control, and then use the PARAMETER wheel.
When a channel level is set either manually or automatically, the corresponding Adjust
On/Off switch on the CH 1–16 or 17–24/Stin pages appears highlighted.
TO EDITOR—This parameter is used to enable and disable the TO EDITOR port, and must
be set to ENABLE for the 03D to respond to incoming ESAM II commands. Commands are
ignored when this is set to DISABLE.
FRAME TYPE—This parameter should be set to match the frame rate of the video. Options
are: ND (30 frames), DF (29.97 frames), 25 (25 frames), and 24 (24 frames). The 03D uses
this setting to calculate fade and delay times specified in frames.

PARITY FLAG—This parameter should be set to match the parity requirements of the edi-
tor. Options are: EVEN, ODD, and NONE. The default being EVEN.
FADER MODE—This parameter determines how 03D faders operate when ESAM II com-
mands are received.
In ABSOLUTE mode, faders indicate channel fader positions and do not move when
ESAM II commands change levels using the ESAM faders. In this mode, faders can still be
used to make manual level adjustments, a common feature of ESAM mixers.
In FROM-TO mode, faders indicate ESAM fader levels and move when ESAM II commands
change channel levels using the ESAM faders. FROM source faders move to the LIMIT
LEVEL, usually minus infinity, and TO source faders move to the specified input level. In
this mode, faders cannot be used to make manual level adjustments. Faders move only when
an ESAM-related page is displayed (i.e., Machine, CrossFade, From-To, CH 1-16, or
17-24/Stin).

Machine Page (Cross Point Setting) 16
Machine Page (Cross Point Setting)
This section explains the parameters on the Machine page shown below. Use the [AUTOMIX] button to locate this page.
The Machine page is used to assign input channels to machines, and up to eight machines
from A to H are available. Input channels can be assigned in two or four-channel groups
and cannot be assigned to more than one machine. Machine A corresponds to Cross Point
1, Machine B to Cross Point 2, and so on through to Machine H which corresponds to Cross
Point 8. The channel set as REC, however, also corresponds to Cross Point 0. For example,
in the Machine page shown above, input channels 1, 2, 3, and 4 are controlled by commands
for Cross Point 1 (Machine A), and also controlled by commands for Cross Point 0 since
REC is selected. On a typical editor, the machine number of the ESAM II command is determined by the cross point settings.
Settings on the Machine page are effective only when ESAM II machine commands are
received. Typically, they are ineffective when individual channel control using source commands is used, although this may vary between editors. Refer to the editor’s manual for more
information.
To assign channels to a machine, use the cursor buttons to select a machine from A to H,
and the [SEL] buttons to add and remove channels. Channels cannot be assigned to more
than one machine, and the ST IN channel can be assigned only to the ST IN machine.
To set the REC machine, use the cursor buttons to select a machine from A to H, and then
press the [ENTER] button.
CrossFade Page
This section explains the parameters on the CrossFade page shown below. Use the [AUTOMIX] button to locate this page.
The CrossFade page is used to select crossfade patterns for channels individually, and seven
different patterns are available. When channels are paired, both use the same pattern. In
addition to patterns, one of three curves (A, B, C) can be applied to channels globally.
03D Video Edit Suite Software—Owner’s Manual
17 Display Pages
To select a pattern, use the [SEL] buttons to select a channel, and then use the PARAMETER
wheel to select a pattern.
Below the pattern for each channel is a LIMIT LEVEL parameter, which is the target level
for FROM settings, or the start level for TO settings, when a fader is set to 0 dB. The actual
level is the input fader level minus the LIMIT LEVEL, which has a range from 0 to minus
infinity.

From-To Page 20
From-To Page
This section explains the parameters on the From-To page shown below. Use the [AUTOMIX] button to locate this page.
The From-To page is used to monitor transitions from one source to another, and can also
be used to assign FROM and TO channels to bus outs 1 to 4.
When a Transition Start command is received, the ESAM fader on FROM channels is set to
the LIMIT LEVEL, while the ESAM fader on TO channels is set to 0 dB. When the transition
is complete, FROM channels become TO channels, and TO channels become FROM channels.
To assign channels to bus outs, use the cursor buttons to select bus outs in the FROM
ASSIGN and TO ASSIGN windows, and the [SEL] buttons to add and remove channels.
Assignments made on this page are reflected on the [PAN/ROUTING] Pan 1-16 and Pan
17-24 pages. Likewise, assignments made on the [PAN/ROUTING] Pan 1-16 and Pan 17-24
pages are reflected on this page. Typically, Cross Point settings are made on the editor, otherwise, operation may not be correct. Channels and bus outs configured as stereo pairs are
assigned simultaneously. Effects returns 1 and 2 are assigned automatically to both FROM
and TO.

CH 1-16 & 17-24/Stin Pages
This section explains the parameters on the CH 1-16 and 17-24/Stin pages shown below.
Use the [AUTOMIX] button to locate these pages.
The CH 1-16 and 17-24/Stin pages contain individual channel on/off switches for channel
delay (DLY), dynamics (DYN), EQ, and auto level adjust (A). The rotary controls show the
actual send levels. The value below these controls indicates the level of the channel fader.
When either of these pages are selected, the [SEL] buttons work as Local on/off buttons.
When a [SEL] button’s indicator is off, that channel responds to incoming ESAM II commands. When it’s flashing, the channel is in Local mode and ignores ESAM II commands.
The ROLL LIB. (library) allows you to store and recall channel information for each machine
(i.e., roll or tape).
Up to 100 memories (0 to 99) are available in the ROLL library (memory 0 is recall-only),
and the following parameters can be stored:
• Channel settings that can be stored in channel library programs
• Crossfade curve settings
• LIMIT LEVEL setting
• Level set using LEVEL ADJUST
• ADJUST on/off
To store channel information, select a MACHINE, select a memory, and then press the
STORE switch. The settings of channels assigned to the selected machine will be stored
(maximum of four channels).
To recall channel information, select a MACHINE, select a memory, and then press the
RECALL switch. If the number of stored channels and the number of recalled channels are
different, the following applies:
• If a memory containing data for four channels is recalled to a machine assigned to two
channels, the data from the first two channels is used.
• If a memory containing data for two channels is recalled to a machine assigned to four
channels, the data from the first two channels is recalled twice.

Monitor Page
This section explains the parameters on the Monitor page shown below. Use the [VIEW]
button to locate this page.
The Monitor page allows you to monitor fader positions, which are indicated using vertical
bars. Below these are exact fader positions. If a bar is not solid, it means that the channel is
assigned as a TO channel, or not assigned to either TO or FROM. When a transition occurs,
a hollow area inside the bar increases for FROM channels, and the solid area increases for
TO channels.
Prefer. Page
This section explains the new options on the Prefer. page shown below. Use the [UTILITY]
button to locate this page.
MASTER LEVEL PROTECT—Bus out and aux send master faders can be protected against
accidental operation by turning on the MASTER LEVEL PROTECT option. This is useful
when master levels are not adjusted regularly.
SWAP CH 9–16 <–> 17–24—Analog inputs 9 to 16 and digital inputs 17 to 24 can be
swapped so that the analog inputs appears as channels 17 to 24 and the digital inputs appear
as channel 9 to 16. This allows that you to control signals from the digital inputs without
pressing the [MIXING LAYER] button. The word SWAP appears next to the SIGNAL
meters.
DIGITAL BUS OUTPUT DELAY—On the regular 03D, the output delay applies only to
the analog bus outs, not the digital bus outs. With this option turned on, however, the output
delay applies to the digital bus outs as well.
LONGER OUTPUT DELAY TIME—The LONGER OUTPUT DELAY TIME option
allows you to increase the output delay by 3,160 samples. Since the input and output delay
functions share the same memory, the maximum input delay is reduced by 3,160 samples
when this option is on. You must restart the 03D for this option to take effect.

Delay Page
This section explains the changes to the Delay page shown below. Use the [DELAY/∅] but-
ton to locate this page.
In addition to samples and time, input and output delays can also be specified as frames in
quarter-frame steps, as shown on the page above. With a sampling rate of 48 kHz and the
Frame Type set to DF, the delay range is approximately six frames.
When a bus out is selected, the OFFSET parameter appears on the CH Delay page, as shown
above. This parameters sets the delay for bus outs globally, and can be used to correct the
timing between audio and video. An offset/delay of up to four frames in single frame steps
can be set.
Shown above is the Output Dly monitoring page. Delay values are indicated in frames. The
global OFFSET value for bus outs is also shown.
