1- WELCOME! Thank you for purchasing AuviTran’s AVY16-ES100 board. We hope you will enjoy using it. The board provides two EtherSound™ connectors and a RS232 port for both very low latency audio and data transmission. A 3rd port is available to connect control PC, for remote monitoring and management. Up to 16 audio input channels and 16 audio output channels can be transmitted to or sent from a Yamaha device to any other EtherSound™ compatible equipment, over regular CAT.5 cables.
3- ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC INTERFERENCES This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1. This device may not cause harmful interference. 2. This device must accept any interference received including interference that may cause undesired operation. FCC INFORMATION (U.S.A.) 1. IMPORTANT NOTICE: DO NOT MODIFY THIS UNIT! This product, when installed as indicated in the instructions contained in this manual, meets FCC requirements.
4- LIMITATION OF LIABILITY In no case and in no way, the provider of this board (AuviTran, the distributor or reseller, or any other party acting as provider) shall be liable and sued to court for damage, either direct or indirect, caused to the user of the board and which would result from an improper installation or misuse of the board. “Misuse” and “improper installation” mean installation and use not corresponding to the instructions of this manual.
10-TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS OF THE BOARD General Size Power Consumption Power Supply Storage: Temp/Humidity Operating: Temp/Humidity Connectors 120 mm x 160 mm x 40 mm (mini-YGDAI format) <4 Watts +5 V, +3.3V, GND (from mini-YGDAI slot) - 5°C to 70°C / Max 95% (non-condensing) 5°C to 40°C / 5% to 80% (non-condensing) 1 mini-YGDAI mini backplane connector, 2 Neutrik® EtherCon© RJ45-XLR female connectors (EtherSoundTM from/to links), 1 Sub-D9 (RS232) serial interface, 1 RJ45 third port.
11-PLUGGING THE BOARD Please visit AuviTran’s website to make sure the board you wish to install is fully compatible with your Yamaha equipment. http://www.AuviTran.com The card contains sensitive electric components, which can be easily damaged by static electricity, so the card should be left in its original packing until it is installed. 1. Switch off and unplug your device. 2. Remove the two fixing screws and the protection plate as shown below.
12-SYNCHRONISATION MANAGEMENT Your AVY16-ES100 board must be properly synchronised with the related equipment. If this is not the case, the audio data it will send or receive will be void. In case your AVY16-ES100 board is the first element of an EtherSound-based network (Primary Master), it will provide the clock to the network. The board will automatically connect on your Yamaha device. Your device must be internal clock configured or synchronised on the external WordClock.
This is the classic Daisy-chain configuration. The computer on which ESMonitor was installed is connected to the “IN Port” of the first device in the network, the primary master (here, an AVY16-ES100). A primary master is the first EtherSound-based device of an EtherSound network which has its “IN Port” not connected to another EtherSound device. After running ESMonitor, Select an AVY16-ES100 device on the device list or tree list (i.e.
14-2- AVY16-ES100 Control Page in ESMonitor If the Control page is selected, ESMonitor will display the following information: Live vu-meter are displayed for each input or output of your selected AVY16-ES100 All standard parameters of the AVY16-ES100 can be handled in this control page and you can use the vu-meters to control remotely the audio sent and received by the AVY16ES100 to your Yamaha device.
14.2.1 YGDAI Mode The YGDAI mode is set by default to “16 Channels” mode. The “16 channels” mode is compatible with new generation of YGDAI Slot and must be used for PM5D, DM2000, DM1000, 02R96, DME64N, DME24N, LS9, M7CL, TXn Power Amp and 01V96 Yamaha devices. The “8 channels” mode is compatible with previous version of YGDAI Slot and must be used for the following Yamaha devices: DIO8/PM1D.
14.2.3 “Emergency Clock” function “Emergency Clock” is disabled by default. The “Emergency Clock” function enables to generate automatically a local 48 kHz Clock from the AVY16-ES100 to its host digital console when the board is disconnected from an EtherSound network from its EtherSound IN port. This mode enables to not let the digital console to go in long time free run before it recovers its clock after a network disconnection which usually mutes all audio I/O.
14.2.6 “Hardware RS232 Tunnelling” function The “Hardware RS232 tunnelling” is disable by default. Hardware RS232 tunnelling function enables you to transmit standard RS232 data over EtherSound. This function is very useful to remotely control from a digital mixing console, using only EtherSound connection, a set of AD8HR connected to EtherSound by AVB32ES or by AVKit-ES for AD8HR. The digital mixers that can manage AD8HR from a remote serial connector are: PM5D, M7CL, LS9, DM2000, DM1000 and DME64N/24N.
Notices: • Hardware RS232 tunnelling means that the tunnelling between the 2 RS232 (local-remote) is performed even when the controlling PC with ESMonitor is disconnected (i.e. It is the AVY16-ES100 hardware which manages the tunnelling not the PC software). • AVB32-ES must have a firmware greater than or equal to 0x603. Upgrade it if it is not the case (check for new firmware on AuviTran web site www.auviTran.com). • AVKit-ES must have a firmware greater than or equal to 0x201.
14.2.7 Remote Control over EtherSound via YGDAI Midi The AVY16-ES100 provides a local YGDAI midi interface to its host console which can be remotely link to a build-in ESMonitor midi driver. Today, the local YGDAI midi interface is working on the following Yamaha devices: DM2000, DM1000, 02R96, 01V96. Before using remote control over EtherSound few conditions must be respected: 1. The host console must been set 1 properly to be controlled via a slot where an AVY16-ES100 has been connected to. 2.
After the Yamaha application such as studio manager is running, you have to set the Application midi link to “Midi Yoke NT: 2” for input port and “Midi Yoke NT:1” for output port (if you let the default configuration). Sample below shows a working setting in Control Panel and Yamaha System Setup: You can now start the configuration of functionalities of AuviTran’s AVY16-ES100.
15- THIRD PORT AND REMOTE CONTROL AVY16-ES100 was build with the last EtherSound ES100 technology, and includes a 3rd port for remote control and monitoring. With previous version of EtherSound, the control PC should always be connected to the “IN port” of the first EtherSound device in the network, i.e. the primary master. Now, thanks to EtherSound ES100, and native AVY16-ES100 3rd port, you can plug your control PC directly to your device, even if it is not primary master.
16-RING ARCHITECTURE Thanks to the native ES100 kernel of AVY16-ES100, you will be able to integrate your device into EtherSound Ring architecture. Building a ring will improve redundancy of your network. A ring is a closed EtherSound loop, with one device configured as “Preferred Primary Master” (PPM). The PPM acts as a usual primary master, i.e. it is the one that generates the clock.
Below is an example using AVY16-ES100 in an EtherSound redundant ring, and an AuviTran AVM500-ES matrix, used as a bridge between the ring and others classic daisychain networks.
