Operational Overview The Digital Solutions BVE02 interface enables a Yamaha DM1000, 02R96 or DM2000 digital recording console to be controlled by a Video Edit Controller or Vision Switcher using the ESAM command protocol. When connected to a Video Edit Controller, the mixing and monitoring of forty channels of source audio may be controlled directly from the edit controller, with all edits and crossfades stored and recalled as part of the edit decision list (EDL) held on the Edit Controller.
the matching audio Machine number for a set of adjacent channels on the mixer or individual channels if these are spread across the mixer. In the edit suite, when executing “A/B Roll” edits the Edit Controller will select the source (or FROM) Machine which is to be heard prior to the edit transition point. When this selection is received from the Edit Controller, the interface will cause the mixer to open the set of channel faders which represent the inputs for the FROM Machine.
edit controller and BVE02 are configured correctly to provide the required Preview and Edit monitoring. The last 2, 4 or 8 channels of the mixer and the output routing are employed as a monitor matrix to generate the corresponding number of monitor channels. For greatest flexibility in how the monitoring may be configured, these are kept discrete and delivered to the Omni outputs of the mixer.
BVE02-PV When connected directly to a Vision Switcher, the BVE02-PV adds a number of significant additional functions to the standard facilities described above that extend the audio control in live TV production – especially for News and Magazine programming where single-person video and audio operation is often preferred.
Set-up Yamaha Mixer Setup Before the mixer can be usefully commanded by the edit controller, the appropriate audio connections to the source Machines, recorders, and monitor system should be established. The mixer must be fitted with the required type and quantity of optional I/O cards to interface to the surrounding audio infrastructure.
For 4-ch operation set channels 45-48 (DM1000), 53-56 (02R96) or 93-96 (DM2000); or for 8 channel operation channels 41-48 (DM1000) 49-56 (02R96) or 89-56 (DM2000) as follows: Insert: EQ: DELAY: On/Off: ON; Out: NONE; In: NONE; Position: POST-FADER. OFF ON, msec: 0.5; samples: 24; Mix: +100%; FB Gain: 0%. Set bus 1-4 or 1-8 delay to: ON; msec: 0.
BVE02 Interface The control information from the Edit Controller’s ‘Serial (Audio) Mixer’ connector should be fed into the ‘Editor’ connector of the interface. A second cable should be connected from the mixer ‘To Host’ connector to the ‘Mixer’ connector of the interface. A composite video reference should be connected to the internally terminated ‘Sync’ input (this enables accurate fade timing). Within the interface there is an eight section setup switch.
Edit Controller Setups The setup of the Edit Controller varies according to the type of editor. An example of the setup is shown below. This information may also be helpful as a guide to those Edit Controllers which are not shown below. Sony BVE9100 The setup for the audio mixer control is described in the BVE9100 manual section “2-7-3 Setting the Mixer Control Conditions (MIXER LOCAL)” As a simple guide the recommended setup is:1. Enter the setup - press the MIXER LOCAL (SHIFT + LOCAL SWER) key. 2.
Sony BVE2000 The setup for the audio mixer control is described in the BVE2000 manual section “5-1-6 Setting the Audio Mixer Operating Conditions” As a simple guide the recommended setup is:Use page 4 “MIXER CONFIGURATION” of the SYSTEM SETUP MENU. Change the settings shown on this screen to the following :1 MON MODE = BOTH (MIX) 2 PVW MODE = MON 3 MIXER TYPE = SERIAL 4 INIT PANEL REG# = 01 5 CH MODE = 4 CH 6 SAVE IP REG# ONLY = OFF Use the ENTER key to store these new settings.
Monitoring The term Monitoring in audio refers to the signal which is intended to be heard in the control room or edit suite. There are several different methods of controlling and selecting the audio signal which is monitored, each of which is similar to various methods of video picture monitoring (but with one special consideration - humans can view several different video monitors and concentrate on one of them. This approach does not work well with audio even with the ‘cocktail party effect’ !).
Edit Suite Monitoring Operation Monitor Edit Source monitor In this mode, the audio from source Machines is monitored after it has passed through the mixer’s input channels and faders which have been opened so that the signal is fed to the Program buses, the mixer outputs and hence to the recorder inputs. When a source is being monitored, the fader levels of the corresponding mixer channels are opened by the BVE02 and may be adjusted to give the correct level at the mixer output.
Live Monitor Setup with BVE02-PV The monitoring for live Studio Gallery operation employs the same monitor matrix setup described at the beginning of this Monitoring section as it ensures accurate metering of the To-air signals and allows the most appropriate configuration of the loudspeaker monitoring for the studio or programme – regardless of the capability or facilities of the mixer.

Troubleshooting. If the BVE02 and Yamaha mixer do not perform as expected, there are a number of quick checks which will help identify where the problem may lie. Please follow these methodically and make only one change at a time between tests to establish if the problem is resolved. Fault: The BVE02 does not appear to be controlling the mixer Check the Automix Enable/Disable button is set to ENABLED in Automix Main page. Check the data connection between the BVE02 and the mixer is operating correctly. 1.
Fault: The Recorder in an edit system or a Preview Machine in a studio gallery is not heard in the monitoring. 1. 2. 3. Check that the expected audio is appearing on the meters of the audio channels to which the input ports for that source are routed. If there is no movement on these meters: a. Check the source is outputting audio. b. Check the external cables/connections to the mixer inputs. c. Check the input routing of the Input Matrix is connecting the input ports to the correct input channels.
Uploading New Code to the BVE02 The BVE02 holds two versions of the operating code – one in ROM and the other in FLASH memory. The unit is normally run from the code stored in the FLASH memory. When new code is released for the BVE02, the code in FLASH memory can be updated. Uploading New Code Turn off the mixer or disconnect it.
In the event that the upload is corrupted, setting the internal DIP Switch 1 to ON instructs the unit to load the code held in ROM next time the unit is powered up.
