DM-3200/DM-4800 requirements

In order to use the IF-AV/DM card, the DM-4800/DM-3200

must use software version 1.70 or later. The mixer cannot

recognize the IF-AV/DM card when using earlier versions.

Check the TASCAM website (http://www.tascam.com/) for

the latest DM-4800/DM-3200 software and download the

TFI update le.

Install TMCompanion, which is included on the CD-ROM

included with the DM-4800/DM-3200, on the computer

that you are using. Launch TMCompanion and use the TFI

update le to upgrade the software version used by the

DM-4800/DM-3200.

Installation

NOTE

DM-3200: Install the IF-AV/DM in mixer slot 1. It will not •

function in slot 2.

DM-4800: Install the IF-AV/DM in mixer slot 1 or 3. It will •

not function in slot 2 or 4.

Turn the mixer power OFF before beginning installation. •

1 Remove the five screws from the cover panel of the

slot where you want to install the IF-AV/DM card

(slot 1 on a DM-3200, slot 1 or 3 on a DM-4800), and

then remove the panel. (If that slot already contains

a card, remove the card.)

2 Insert the IF-AV/DM card into the slot. Insert the

card completely, aligning its edges with the white

guidelines on the inside of the slot. Push the card

in until it clicks into place and its backplate is even

with the back of the mixer. Do not, however, push the

card too hard. If you are having difficulty inserting it

properly, pull it out once and try again.

3 Use the five screws that you removed earlier or the

five screws included with this card to fix the card in

place.

4 Turn the mixer’s power ON, and open the DIGITAL

screen (with the ALT key indicator lit, press screen

mode selection key 2). Select the SLOT tab (SLOT

1-2 or SLOT 3-4 for the DM-4800), and confirm that

the unit recognizes the installed card. If a “No Card”

message appears, the card might not have been

inserted properly or the screws might not be tight

enough.

congured, is compatible with the following Aviom Pro16

Series products:

IF-AV/DM Aviom Pro16 A-Net Interface Card NOTE Using the A-Net out connector of, e.g. a A-16II Personal Mixer to extend the signal does not supply power to the additional units, which must be powered individually. For long distance applications, fiber optic cable can be used to span distances up to 50 miles (80 km) with the use of devices called media converters. A media converter changes the Ethernet-based Pro16 A-Net signal to fiber optic at the source location and then back to Cat-5 at the destination.

Only adjacent Channels can be linked (Channels 1 and 2, Channels 3 and 4, etc.). When Channels are linked, they act as one source on the Aviom Personal Mixer. When you select either of the two linked Channels on the Mixer, both LEDs will light up, indicating that they are linked. Volume changes affect both Channels simultaneously.
