R Remote Version 3 User’s Guide Thank you for choosing a Yamaha product. This user’s guide explains setup and use of "R Remote," a Windows/Mac application that lets you make parameter settings for the Rio3224-D/Rio1608-D/Ri8-D/Ro8-D/RSio64-D/RMio64-D (subsequently "R series") units. This application lets you edit the parameters of up to twenty four R series units from a single computer. Even if the R series unit is not connected, you can mount it virtually and edit its settings beforehand.

■ Setup The setup workflow is shown below. Install the R Remote ↓ Set on the R series units ↓ Connect the computer and R series units ↓ Power-on the R series units ↓ Specify the computer's IP address ↓ Use Dante Controller or the CL/QL series console to specify the routing For details on connections and settings for the R series units, refer also to the owner's manual of your R series units. Install the R Remote The installation procedure is as follows. 1.
Set on the R series units For Rio3224-D / Rio1608-D / Ri8-D When using R Remote to operate a Rio3224-D / Rio1608-D / Ri8-D unit, set the DIP switches and [UNIT ID] rotary switch of the unit, taking note of the following settings. ・ Set the UNIT ID in the range of 1 to 24 (hexadecimal 18). R Remote will not detect units with a setting of 0 or 25 or higher. (For details on converting between decimal and hexadecimal, refer to "Decimal/hexadecimal conversion table.
If the network consists only of Dante devices and R Remote, we recommend that you use the AUTO IP setting. If you are connecting to an existing network, select DHCP as needed. If you want to use zoning to set the IP address, or want to connect to an existing network but use a static IP address, choose STATIC IP (MANUAL) and use R Remote to set the IP address.
REDUNDANT (4 down) ・START UP MODE Settings Switch NORMAL (Start up normally with the settings of the previous start-up.) (7 and 8 up) INITIALIZE (The unit starts up with the internal memory initialized. (7 down, 8 up) Initialization creates the following settings. ・SLOT 1-4 SRC (OFF) ・WORD CLOCK SELECT (DANTE/48kHz) ・USER PATTERN (Same routing configuration as the preset PATTERN # 1) ・STATIC IP (Manual) (0.0.0.
Connect the computer and R series units Use an Ethernet cable to connect the computer and the R series units. If you selected DAISY CHAIN in “SECONDARY PORT” on the above, connect the Dante connectors of the R series units in a daisy chain to the computer. If you selected REDUNDANT in “SECONDARY PORT” on the above, connect the computer to the network switch that is connected to the Dante [PRIMARY] connector. Power-on the R series units Power-on the R series units.
Specify the computer's IP address Specify the computer's IP address so that it can communicate with the R series units. The method of making this setting depends on whether you're using Windows or Mac. Also, the computer's IP address setting will differ depending on the IP address specified in "Settings on the R series units." If you're using Mac, click the link. For Windows Accessing the Control Panel The way to access the Control Panel will depend on your operating system.
5. Make the following settings according to the IP address setting you made in "Settings on the R series units." AUTO IP or DHCP STATIC IP (AUTO) Click [Obtain an IP address automatically]. Click [Use the following IP address:].

Areas of the screen The R Remote screen is broadly divided into three areas: the Device Selection Area, the Information Display Area, and the Main Area.
Device Selection Area When you click a display switching button, the corresponding R series unit is shown in the information display area and in the main area. With a display switching button selected, pressing the left button makes all indicators of the corresponding R series unit blink, allowing you to identify the corresponding unit. When you right-click a display switching button, the following context menu appears. Command Summary [Mount] Opens the "Mount" window.
Main Area This area shows the state of the selected R series unit and allows basic parameter editing. The display depends on the model. For Rio3224-D / Rio1608-D / Ri8-D The screen is explained here using the Rio3224-D as an example. The number of items in the HA display area differs depending on the model. The Edit window opens if you double-click or right-click and choose [Open Edit Window] anywhere other than on a controller.
You can double-click a numeric value box and enter a value directly from the keyboard. The level meter located at the immediate right of the knob indicates the input level of the corresponding port. On the knobs, you can use the following shortcuts and context menu. Action Operation () + click Sets analog gain to the default value (-6 dB). () + + Sets the analog gain to 0 dB. click Right click Displays the following context menu.
Edit window This appears if you double-click in the main area other than on a controller, or if you right-click and choose [Open Edit Window]. Here you can view and edit detailed HA settings for the device. To close the window, click the [x] button in the upper right if you're using Windows, or click the [x] button if you're using Mac. The screen is explained here using the Rio3224-D as an example. The number of channel switching tabs differs depending on the model.
⑥ [A.GAIN] knob Specifies the analog gain for the HA of the device. The current setting is shown in the numeric box located below the knob. You can double-click a numeric value box and enter a value directly from the keyboard. The level meter located at the immediate right of the knob indicates the input level of the corresponding port. On the knobs, you can use the following shortcuts and context menu. Action Operation () + click Sets analog gain to the default value (-6 dB).
For Ro8-D The Ro8-D has no settings that can be operated, so only the [SYSTEM] indicator and [SYNC] indicator are shown. ① [SYSTEM] indicator / [SYNC] indicator Indicates the status of the device or the Dante status. When you move the mouse cursor to this area, the display content appears as a popup.

Off There is no card in the slot.
Red (On) UNLOCK A valid clock is not being input from the card. If an external device is connected to the corresponding slot, input/output cannot occur correctly between that device and the RSio64-D. Red The frequency of the clock source selected with the [WORD CLOCK] select key is (Flashing) outside of the operating frequency range for the card inserted in the slot. Either set WRONG the frequency of the clock source within the operating range for the card, or turn WORD [SRC] ON.
SLOT1 1/2 DANTE On when using the word clock for channels 1/2 of slot 1 for the RSio64-D. Flashes*1 if there is no valid word clock input. When using MY8-AEB*2, the word clock for channels 7/8 is used. On when using the word clock for the Dante network*3. (If there is no valid Dante signal input, the internal Dante module will generate a clock.) *1 When flashing, Dante word clock*3 input/output is used. *2 If you are using MY8-AEB, set the AE⇔RSVD switch for the card to RSVD.
PRESET button As a template for editing the patch, you can call by selecting from preset patterns 1-7. CLEAR ALL button Clear all patches. ⑩ POWER INT indicator Indicates the status of the AC IN power supply for the RSio64-D. If the power switch is off, no power is supplied to AC IN and the indicator remains off. ⑪ POWER EXT indicator Indicates the status of the EXT DC INPUT power supply for the RSio64-D. If the power supply is on, this indicator will be on.
For RMio64-D You can change the RSio64-D settings. ① MADI [SRC ON] indicator MADI [SRC ON] button Switches the SRC (Sampling Rate Converter) on and off. ② MADI [SRC WCLK IN] indicator MADI [SRC WCLK IN] button Use this button to select whether to use (indicator on) or not use (indicator off) the word clock input from the MADI WCLK IN FOR SRC jack on the rear panel of the RMio64-D as a standard clock for SRC. ③ MADI [INPUT RATE Fs 44.
indicator is on and then select “4Fs”. When “2Fs” is selected, the unit automatically detects the frame frequency (48 kHz/96 kHz) of the MADI input signal. ⑤ MADI [STATUS INPUT] status MADI [STATUS OUTPUT] status Display information regarding the MADI input and output signals (frame frequency/number of channels). ⑥ WORD CLOCK [WCLK IN] indicator WORD CLOCK [MADI] indicator WORD CLOCK [DANTE] indicator WORD CLOCK [WCLK IN/MADI/DANTE] buttons Used to select the word clock source.
“Network Setup” dialog box This appears when you choose [File] menu -> [Network Setup].
