58 Chapter 5-Digital I/O & Cascading Cascading Consoles Up to four DM2000s can be cascaded, offering a maximum of 384 Input Channels. Several functions are linked between all cascaded consoles, including Solo, Scene Recall and Store, so that all consoles work just like one big console. A single Yamaha 02R Digital Recording Console can be included in the cascade system. The CASCADE IN and CASCADE OUT ports are used to transmit and receive Cascade and control signals. Only use the optional dedicated Cascade cables for connecting. Linked Functions The following DM2000 functions are linked via the cascade ports: • AUX SELECT • MATRIX SELECT • Display page selection • Solo function • FADER MODE • ENCODER MODE • Metering position setting • Peak Hold On/Off • Meter Fast Fall on/off • Scene Store, Recall, and Title Edit When a Scene is recalled on the master console, that scene is recalled on all cascaded consoles. • The following Automix functions: Make New Automix, Store, Recall, Undo, Title Edit, Transport (AutoREC, REC, PLAY, STOP, ABORT). • The following Automix parameters: Automix Enable/Disable, Internal Start Time, Offset Time, Frame Rate, Overwrite (FADER, ON, PAN, SURR, AUX, AUX ON, EQ), Motor ON/OFF, Edit Out Mode OFF/RETURN/TAKEOVER, Return Time, Update To End On/Off, ABSOLUTE/RELATIVE Fader Edit Mode, Touch Sense Edit In On/Off, Touch Sense Edit Out On/Off. Function and parameter linking can be turned on or off by using the Cascade COMM Link preference (see page 235). The Solo function is always linked regardless of this preference. Note: When the Cascade COMM Link preference is on, do not make any MIDI connections between cascaded DM2000s. If two DM2000s are cascaded and connected via MIDI, and the Cascade COMM Link preference is on, when a store operation is performed on the master console, a loop will be created, causing both consoles to execute endless store operations.
