Using cascade connections You can share buses by cascade-connecting a PM5D and DSP5D, multiple PM5D units (maximum of four units), or a PM5D with an external mixer (Yamaha DM2000/02R96, etc.). When multiple PM5D/DSP5D units are cascade-connected, operations such as scene store/recall, cue/solo, and dimmer can also be linked. Example of cascade connections between the PM5D and DSP5D Up to two DSP5D units can be cascade-connected to one PM5D unit. By going through a DCU5D digital cabling unit, you can also utilize long-distance routing via Ethernet cable. For details, refer to p.31.

To cascade-connect two PM5D units, connect the CASCADE IN connectors and CASCADE OUT connectors of the two units to each other. This allows the MIX bus, STEREO bus, and CUE bus output signals to be transmitted and received between the two units. CASCADE CASCADE IN OUT Audio signals of units A+B CASCADE CASCADE IN OUT Audio signals of units A+B PM5D A (cascade master) PM5D B (cascade slave) Hint • If you want to daisy-chain two to four PM5D units (i.e., connect the first unit's CASCADE OUT → second unit's CASCADE IN, and the second unit's CASCADE OUT → third unit's CASCADE IN. Up to four units can be connected.), you should assign the PM5D located last in the chain (the PM5D connected only via its CASCADE IN connector) as the cascade master, and the remaining PM5D units as cascade slaves (➥ p.226). • If you want to cascade-connect a PM5D with a Yamaha DM2000 or 02R96, connect the CASCADE OUT connector of the DM2000/02R96 to the CASCADE IN connector of the PM5D. However in this case, it is not possible to link operations. • If you want to cascade-connect the PM5D with any other external mixer, use I/O cards installed in slots 1-4 to send and receive the audio signals (➥ p.224). Specifying the DSP5D's machine ID number When cascade-connecting the PM5D and DSP5D, you must specify a unique ID number for each machine (PM5D and DSP5D). Specify the machine ID number as #1 (PM5D), #2 (first DSP5D unit), and #3 (second DSP5D unit). Note • The PM5D's machine ID number is fixed at #1, so you don't need to set it. • For a system in which only DSP5Ds are connected in cascade, set the machine ID number of the first DSP5D to #1, and set the second DSP5D to #2. ❏ Making settings on the DSP5D itself 1 Power-on the DSP5D, and press the mode switch located on the rear panel. FAN POWER HIGH LOW FAN POWER HIGH LOW Mode switch If you want operations such as scene store/recall and cue/ solo to be linked between the two PM5D units, specify one unit as the cascade master and the other as the cascade slave. (This setting is made in the SYS/W.CLOCK function MIXER SETUP screen.) The PM5D assigned as the cascade master will output control signals (operational signals) via its CASCADE IN connector, and the PM5D assigned as the cascade slave will receive these signals via its CASCADE OUT connector. 2 Between one and three of the front panel IN/ OUT [TX]/[RX] LEDs will light, corresponding to the machine ID number (1-3). One LED (OUT [TX]) is lit to indicate machine #1 (a system consisting of only the DSP5D), two LEDs (OUT [TX]/[RX]) are lit to indicate machine #2 (the first DSP5D unit), and three LEDs (OUT [TX][RX] IN[TX]) are lit to indicate machine #3 (the second DSP5D unit) is selected.
