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 con-
trol 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 sig-
nals 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.
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-direc-
tional transfer of audio signals. Since the DME24N does
not have CASCADE IN/OUT connectors, it cannot use this
method.
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 CAS-
CADE IN connector.
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 con-
nector to the DME64N.
Note
When using the CASCADE IN/OUT connectors to make con-
nections, 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 con-
nector) 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.
