3 - Connections : Cascade configuration NOTE When the cascade connection is established, the slave unit's clock source is automatically set to CASCADE and the settings of the slave unit become those of the master unit. Using the cascade Since the cascade function allows busses, aux sends, etc. to be shared, and controlled from the master unit, the two DM-4800s can be used as one large digital console with twice the number of inputs and channels, etc. However, due to internal considerations, if the busses are cascaded, the return inputs for channels 25 through 48 are unavailable. In order to enable the cascade function for the busses (and thereby disable these return inputs), the BUSS CASCADE INPUT checkbox must be checked. When this is unchecked, the checkboxes for the buss inputs are automatically disabled (grayed out) and return channels 25 through 48 are available. The ENABLE checkboxes allow the selection from the master unit of which busses and functions will be shared. Soloing, and control of the stereo buss on the slave machine can also be carried out from the master when the appropriate checkboxes are checked. Interlocked settings The following settings are interlocked between the two DM-4800 units while a cascade connection is established. These initial settings on the cascade master listed below will be reflected on the cascade slave immediately after the cascade connection has been established. After the cascade connection has been made, whenever a setting is changed either on the cascade master or the cascade slave, the changed setting will be reflected on the setting of the other unit. However, the on/off setting of the cascade connection can only be changed on the cascade master (when the timecode is not running. • Layer status • Flip mode • Encoder mode • Surround mode • Surround 5.1 rear mono • DIGITAL CASCADE screen setup (except for ID and on/ off settings) • OPTION SETUP screen setup (except for FADER SENSITIV- ITY) • OPTION PREFERENCE screen setup • OPTION SOLO screen setup (except for INPLACE SOLO DEFEAT setup) • OPTION ENCODER MODE screen setup • METER/FADER METER screen setup • SNAPSHOT RECALL SAFE setup on the LIBRARY SNAPSHOT screen • AUTO SETUP screen setup • Key setup in the AUTOMATION section (WRITE, TRIM, ALL SAFE, REHEARSE, INITIAL EDIT) Interlocked operations The following operations are interlocked while two DM-4800 units are connected together as a cascade. Whenever any of the operations below is executed either on the cascade master or the cascade slave, the other will follow, performing the same operation.
