Information shown in the display Function menu Global functions Output functions C SCENE This area indicates/selects the scene that will be stored/ recalled on the DME series unit. When you click the / buttons located at left and right to select a number, the name of that scene is shown in the field at right. D STORE/RECALL These buttons save (overwrite) the settings of the DME series unit edited in the PM5D's screen into the scene selected in the SCENE area, or recall the scene selected in the SCENE area into the DME. Note • When storing a DME scene from the PM5D's screen, you can only store by overwriting an existing scene on the DME; you cannot store the settings as a new scene or edit the scene name. • If SETUP is selected, items 3, 4, and 6 are not shown. E Parameter display area This area displays the parameters of the currently selected component. The displayed contents will depend on the component. F ASSIGN TO FADERS (DCA fader assignments) You can use DCA faders 1-8 to control the parameters of the component currently shown in the screen. Note The parameters that can be assigned to DCA faders will depend on the component. This function may not be available for some components. ❏ Connecting the PM5D with a DME series unit Various methods for connecting the PM5D with a DME series unit to transmit and receive audio signals and control signals are shown below. Note If characters other than alphabetical characters and symbols (e.g., double-byte characters such as Japanese) are used on the DME series unit in a component name or scene name, such characters may not be displayed correctly. 1 Bi-directional connection via CobraNet This connection method uses CobraNet (a format for transmitting multi-channel audio signals and control signals over Ethernet). Install an MY16-C CobraNet format compliant digital I/O card in a slot on both the PM5D and the DME series unit, and use an Ethernet cable to connect the two MY16-C cards. This method allows bi-directional transfer of audio signals over a single cable. For example, signals can be sent via the PM5D's MIX bus to the DME for processing, and then returned to a PM5D input channel. MY16-C Slot DME64N DME24N MY16-C Slot PM5D 2 Bi-directional connection using the CASCADE IN/ OUT connectors (DME64N only) In this connection method, the CASCADE IN connector and CASCADE OUT connector of the PM5D and the DME64N are connected to each other, allowing bi-directional transfer of audio signals. Since the DME24N does not have CASCADE IN/OUT connectors, it cannot use this method. CASCADE CASCADE IN connector OUT connector DME64N CASCADE CASCADE IN connector OUT connector PM5D 3 Uni-directional connection using the CASCADE IN/ OUT connectors - 1 (DME64N only) This method is a uni-directional connection that sends audio signals from the DME64N to the PM5D via its CASCADE IN connector. CASCADE OUT connector DME64N CASCADE IN connector PM5D 4 Uni-directional connection using the CASCADE IN/ OUT connectors - 2 (DME64N only) This method is a uni-directional connection that sends audio signals from the PM5D via its CASCADE OUT connector to the DME64N. CASCADE IN connector DME64N CASCADE OUT connector PM5D Note When using the CASCADE IN/OUT connectors to make connections, the CASCADE IN/OUT connectors are used as the connectors, but the settings will be the same as when using slot input/output. In the CASCADE CONNECTION area of the MIXER SETUP screen (SYS/W.CLOCK function), you will need to make settings so that the CASCADE IN connector is assigned to the SLOT IN port (if using the CASCADE IN connector) or the SLOT OUT port is assigned to the CASCADE OUT connector (if using the CASCADE OUT connector). Hint If desired, you can control the DME series unit from the PM5D without transmitting or received audio signals. In this case, simply make one of the connections shown in examples 2- 4; control signals will be sent from the PM5D to the DME.
