220 Chapter 20-Remote Control About Machine Control (MMC & P2) The DM2000 can control the transport, locate functions, track arming, and chase function of up to eight external recording machines that support the MMC or P2 control protocol. Machines can be specified as either MTR or Master and controlled independently. Machines that support the P2 protocol can be controlled by connecting them to the DM2000's REMOTE port using a 9-pin straight cable. Wiring details are provided on page 315. The REMOTE port must be set for P2 control on the Remote Port Setup page (see page 221). Machines that support MMC can be controlled by connecting them to the DM2000's MIDI, SERIAL, USB, or SLOT1 (with optional mLAN I/O Card installed in Slot #1). MMC and P2 protocol support varies from machine to machine. Some machines may not operate exactly as explained in this section. Configuring Machines Up to eight machines can be configured as follows. 1 Use the LOCATOR [DISPLAY] button to locate the Machine Configuration page. 2 Use the cursor buttons to select the parameters, and use the Parameter wheel, INC/DEC buttons, and [ENTER] button to set them. TYPE: This is used to specify the type of machine: MMC or P2. Only one machine can be set to P2. PORT: When the machine TYPE is MMC, use this parameter to specify the port for MMC communications. Available ports include: MIDI, SERIAL 1-8, USB 1-8, and SLOT1 1-8. DEVICE ID: When the machine TYPE is MMC, use this parameter to specify the device ID from 1 to 127 or ALL. The target machine must be set to the same ID. The same ID cannot be assigned to more than one SERIAL, USB, or SLOT1 port. TRANSPORT CONTROL: This parameter determines whether or not the DM2000's transport buttons control the machine. Only one Master and one MTR machine can be enabled at a time. CHASE CONTROL: This parameter determines whether or not a Chase On/Off command is transmitted from the DM2000 to a machine when the LOCATOR [ONLINE] button is pressed. MASTER/MTR: This parameter is used to specify which machines are Masters and which are MTRs. Multiple machines can be set to Master and MTR. DM2000-Owner's Manual

Chapter 20—Remote Control
DM2000—Owner’s Manual
About Machine Control (MMC & P2)
The DM2000 can control the transport, locate functions, track arming, and chase function
of up to eight external recording machines that support the MMC or P2 control protocol.
Machines can be specified as either MTR or Master and controlled independently.
Machines that support the P2 protocol can be controlled by connecting them to the
DM2000’s REMOTE port using a 9-pin straight cable. Wiring details are provided on
page 315. The REMOTE port must be set for P2 control on the Remote Port Setup page (see
page 221).
Machines that support MMC can be controlled by connecting them to the DM2000’s
MIDI, SERIAL, USB, or SLOT1 (with optional mLAN I/O Card installed in Slot #1).
MMC and P2 protocol support varies from machine to machine. Some machines may not
operate exactly as explained in this section.
Configuring Machines
Up to eight machines can be configured as follows.
1
Use the LOCATOR [DISPLAY] button to locate the Machine Configuration
page.
2
Use the cursor buttons to select the parameters, and use the Parameter
wheel, INC/DEC buttons, and [ENTER] button to set them.
TYPE:
This is used to specify the type of machine: MMC or P2. Only one machine can be
set to P2.
PORT:
When the machine TYPE is MMC, use this parameter to specify the port for MMC
communications. Available ports include: MIDI, SERIAL 1–8, USB 1–8, and SLOT1 1–8.
DEVICE ID:
When the machine TYPE is MMC, use this parameter to specify the device ID
from 1 to 127 or ALL. The target machine must be set to the same ID. The same ID cannot
be assigned to more than one SERIAL, USB, or SLOT1 port.
TRANSPORT CONTROL:
This parameter determines whether or not the DM2000’s
transport buttons control the machine. Only one Master and one MTR machine can be
enabled at a time.
CHASE CONTROL:
This parameter determines whether or not a Chase On/Off com-
mand is transmitted from the DM2000 to a machine when the LOCATOR [ONLINE] but-
ton is pressed.
MASTER/MTR:
This parameter is used to specify which machines are Masters and which
are MTRs. Multiple machines can be set to Master and MTR.
