Introduction

Introduction

Thank you for choosing the Yamaha RSio64-D audio
interface.

To take full advantage of the superior functions and
performance offered by the RSio64-D, and to enjoy years of
trouble-free use, be sure to read this owner’s manual
carefully before operation.

Features

The RSio64-D is an interface that can be used as a router
and format converter between Dante and Mini-YGDAI
cards.

This allows Mini-YGDAI cards that support a wide variety
of input/output formats and processing to be connected to
a Dante network, meeting the needs of various types of
systems including broadcast, live, recording, and post­production. In addition, the settings of the RSio64-D can
be fully controlled from a CL or QL series console.

• A wide variety of Mini-YGDAI cards can be used,
including processing cards as well as input/output cards.

Precautions for Rack Mounting

This unit is rated for operation at ambient temperatures
ranging from 0 to 40 degrees Celsius. When mounting the
unit with other RSio unit(s) or other device(s) in an EIA
standard equipment rack, internal temperatures can
exceed the specified upper limit, resulting in impaired
performance or failure. When rack mounting the unit,
always observe the following requirements to avoid heat
buildup:

• When mounting the unit in a rack with devices such as
power amplifiers that generate a significant amount of
heat, leave more than 1U of space between the RSio and
other equipment. Also either leave the open spaces
uncovered or install appropriate ventilating panels to
minimize the possibility of heat buildup.

• To ensure sufficient airflow, leave the rear of the rack
open and position it at least 10 centimeters from walls or
other surfaces. If you’ve installed a fan kit, there may be
cases in which closing the rear of the rack will produce a
greater cooling effect. Refer to the rack and/or fan unit
manual for details.

• Each MY slot provides an SRC (Sampling Rate
Converter) to allow digital connection between differing
word clock routes.

• Seven different widely usable routing patterns are preset,
including routing between Mini-YGDAI cards. Matrix
patching from R Remote V3 or a CL/QL console.

• EXT DC INPUT supports redundant power supplies.

• Dante redundancy (primary/secondary) is supported.

NOTE

Before you install Mini-YGDAI cards in slots 1–4, you must
check the Yamaha website to determine whether the card is
compatible with the RSio64-D, and to verify the total number
of Yamaha or third-party cards that can be installed in
combination with that card.

then set this to STATIC IP (MANUAL).

• Switch 4 (SECONDARY PORT)

This switch setting determines whether the rear-panel
[SECONDARY] connector will be used for a daisy
chain or redundant network.

If this is set to [DAISY CHAIN], you can connect
multiple Dante-enabled network devices in a daisy
chain without using a network switch.

With the [REDUNDANT] setting, the [PRIMARY]
connector will be used for primary connections, and
the [SECONDARY] connector will be used for
secondary (backup) connections. This provides a
redundant connection so that if the unit is unable to
transmit signals through the [PRIMARY] connector
for some reason (e.g., due to damage or accidental
removal of the cable, or a failed network switch), the
[SECONDARY] connector will automatically take over
communications.

i SRC WCLK DIP switches

These select the word clock of each slot’s SRC (SLOT/
WORD CLOCK IN). DIP switches 1–4 correspond to
SLOT 1–4. When a DIP switch is off, the word clock of
the corresponding slot is used. When a DIP switch is
on, the signal of WORDCLOCK IN is used as the SRC
word clock.

NOTE

• The setting of these DIP switches is applied three seconds
after they are switched while the power is on.

• If an analog Mini-YGDAI card is installed and the
corresponding slot’s SRC is turned on, that slot uses the
RSio64-D’s internal 48 kHz clock.

Owner’s Manual

Notes Regarding the Use of Network Switches

Notes Regarding the Use of Network Switches

We recommend a gigabit-compatible network switch that
provides functions for controlling and monitoring the
network (such as QoS).

Do not use the EEE functionality (*) of network switches
on a Dante network.

Although mutual power consumption settings between
switches that support the EEE functionality are adjusted
automatically, there are some switches for which such
mutual settings are not adjusted correctly.

This may cause EEE to be enabled in Dante networks when
it is not appropriate, resulting in poor synchronization
performance and occasional dropouts.

Therefore we strongly recommend the following.

• If you use managed switches, please disable the EEE
functionality. Do not use switches that prevent EEE
functionality from being disabled.

• When using unmanaged switches, do not use switches
that support EEE functionality. EEE functionality cannot
be disabled for such switches.

* EEE (Energy Efficient Ethernet) is a technology that

reduces switch power consumption during periods of low
network traffic. It is also referred to as Green Ethernet and
IEEE802.3az.

About Dante Controller

Connecting AC Power

1. Turn the unit off.

2. Connect the plug on the AC power cord to the

power cord to a power supply socket.

NOTE

• When removing the AC power cord, perform these steps in
reverse.

• Press the latch button on the plug to disconnect the power
cord.

WARNING

• The RSio64-D has been designed assuming it a proper
ground connection is used. To prevent electrical shock and
damage to devices, use the included AC power cord to
create a secure ground connection. If you do not know how
to make a proper ground connection, contact your Yamaha
dealer.

•Be sure to use only the included power cord with this unit.

Use of a different power cord could result in abnormal heat
and electrical shock.

CAUTION

•Be sure to turn the power off before connecting or
disconnecting the power cord.

•Even when the power switch is turned off, a small amount of
current is flowing through the unit. When you are not using
the product for a long time, make sure to unplug the power
cord from the power supply outlet.

Dante Controller is a software application that allows
configuration and audio routing of Dante networks. Use
this application if you plan to connect or set up Dante­enabled devices that do not feature RSio64-D-native
support. Please download the Dante Controller application
from the website listed below.

Please note that Dante Controller Version 3.2.1 or later
supports RSio64-D.

Specifying the
audio routing

The RSio64-D provides seven preset patterns of audio
routing that connect each slot to the Dante network. There
is also one user pattern (page 17) which the user can edit.

Use the front panel ROUTING
[PATTERN] rotary switch to select the
routing.

Setting the rotary switch to 1–7 selects
preset routing patterns 1–7, and setting
it to 0 selects the user routing pattern.

Making the setting

You can select the routing pattern even when the power
is on. Your selection is applied three seconds after you
switch the routing pattern.

The preset routing patterns are described below.

 PATTERN 1

Dante is connected one-to-one with each slot’s input/
output.

 PATTERN 4

The inputs and outputs of Slots 1 and 2, and Slots 3 and
4 are interconnected.

 PATTERN 5

Dante inputs 1–16* are distributed to the outputs of
each slot.

to the outputs of slots 3 and 4.

 PATTERN 2

The inputs of slot 1 are distributed to the outputs of
slots 2–4.

 PATTERN 3

The inputs of slot 1 are distributed to the outputs of slot
2, and the inputs of slot 3 are distributed to the outputs
of slot 4.

 PATTERN 7

Dante 1–32* and slots 1–2 are connected one-to-one,
and the inputs and outputs of slots 3 and 4 are
connected respectively to each other.

*At 48/44.1 kHz

NOTE

• If the inputs/outputs of an installed Mini-YGDAI card cannot
be assigned in 16-channel units, such as for a 4-channel or

a 8-channel card, audio routing signals from such card are
muted by the slot (e.g., if the Mini-YGDAI card is an 8-
channel card, channels 9–16 are muted).

• For different sampling frequencies, the channels of the
routing pattern are switched automatically, as shown above.
However if SRC is on, the number of the slot’s channels may
change, so there may be cases in which you are unable to
use the above patterns as you would like. In such cases, use
the user pattern.
For example when the sampling frequency is 88.2/96 kHz,
Dante channels 1–8, 9–16, 17–24, and 25-32 are available,
but if SRC is on
that slot is 44.1/48 kHz, then channels 1–16 are available for
SLOT 1.

RSio64-D’s internal 48 kHz clock.

• If this unit’s sampling frequency is set to 88 kHz or 96 kHz,
and you want to install a Mini-YGDAI card that does not
support 88.2 kHz or 96 kHz, you should turn SRC on for that
slot. If SRC is off, audio signals will not be output.

About word clock

• If you select “WCLK IN” or “SLOT1 1/2,” the unit is
automatically set to Enable Sync To External
(synchronize to an external clock). If you select
“DANTE,” Enable Sync To External is automatically
turned off.
If you select “WCLK IN” or “SLOT1 1/2,” and this unit is
a clock slave of the Dante network, the same clock should
be input to the clock master device and to this device.
You can use Dante Controller to check which device is
the current clock master.

• If the word clock signal from the selected word clock
source is cut off, the unit switches to the “DANTE”
setting (Enable Sync To External automatically turns
off), and operates with the clock frequency that is

SLOT 1–4 [LOCK] indicators and SLOT 1–4 [SRC]
indicators alternately flash red, and the unit does
not start up



The unit’s hardware settings was not updated after updating
the firmware. Alternatively, the unit’s hardware settings may
be damaged.
While holding down the SLOT 3 [SRC] key, turn the power
on again to update the unit’s hardware settings (page 20). If
the power still will not come on, contact your Yamaha dealer.

Sound is not output



Connect the cables properly.

 Verify that a signal is being output from the corresponding

device.

 If the SLOT 1–4 [LOCK] indicator is flashing red or lit red, re-

specify the correct clock.

 Is the patch of the Dante network set up correctly by Dante

Controller?

 On the unit to which the RSio64-D is connected, is the word

clock set in a way that is compatible with the Dante network?

 Check whether the user pattern setting is correct.
 Check whether the routing pattern selection might be incor-

rect.

Audio cuts out or distorts.



Is the slot’s input frequency selected correctly?

 If [SLOT] or [WCLK IN] is selected as the word clock source,

change it to [DANTE]. Keep in mind that if this remedies the
problem, the clocks for the Dante network and the unit will
not be synced. In this case, this unit must be acting as the
clock master for the Dante network. If this still does not solve
the problem, check the SLOT 1–4 [LOCK] indicators and the
WORD CLOCK indicators, and take the appropriate action.
For details, refer to the Dante Controller User Guide available
on the website.
