288 Glossary MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface)-The standard digital interface for remotely controlling electronic musical systems and audio equipment. mini YGDAI (Yamaha General Digital Audio Interface)-The second-generation YGDAI interface system used on the 01V Digital Mixing Console, D24 Digital Multitrack Recorder, and DME32 Digital Mixing Engine. Oversampling-A technique used to reduce noise due to quantization errors in which audio is sampled at a rate much higher than the nominal sampling rate. PC Card-A small, credit card-sized device for use with personal computers and other electronic devices. PC Cards come in three thicknesses, the thinnest being Type I, which is typically used for RAM or ROM memory. Type II cards, which are slightly thicker, may contain, for example, a fax/modem, while Type III cards are thick enough to contain a hard disk drive. PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory Card International Association)-The organization responsible for the development of the PC Card standard. RS232C-An interface for connecting serial devices, offering a transmission distance of approximately 15 meters, typically using 9- or 25-pin D-Sub connectors. RS422-A balanced interface for connecting serial devices, offering a transmission distance of approximately 1 kilometer, higher data rates, and greater immunity to interference than RS232C. Run mode-The DME Manager mode used to control the DME32 system in real time, which includes editing component parameters, storing and recalling scenes, and recalling configurations. Sampling rate - The number of times per second an analog audio signal is sampled (i.e., measured) during A/D conversion. Scene-A DME32 scene contains a snapshot of all component-parameter settings. Up to 99 scenes can be stored in each configuration. Tascam TDIF-1 interconnect format-The Tascam Digital InterFace audio interconnect format typically found on Tascam TDIF-1-compatible digital audio equipment. TDIF-1 is a bidirectional, 8-channel format, which uses 25-pin D-sub connectors. USB (Universal Serial Bus)-A serial bus for connecting external devices to personal computers, offering data transfer rates of up to 12 Mbps. WC-An abbreviation for wordclock. Wordclock-A clock signal used to synchronize the data processing circuits of all devices in a digital audio system. YGDAI (Yamaha General Digital Audio Interface)-The digital audio interface system that offers a range of analog and digital input and output options for Yamaha digital audio equipment.
