2.3. Connection Examples This section offers connection examples for RIVAGE PM systems using PM Editor / StageMix / MonitorMix, as well as precautions when connecting and setting up the system. Example 1: Connection with the RIVAGE PM Editor A computer with PM Editor is connected to the NETWORK [PC] connector of a DSP engine or control surface using an Ethernet cable. NOTE: • Up to two PM Editors can be connected to one RIVAGE PM system.
Example 2: Connection with StageMix A Wi-Fi device (e.g., access point or router) for StageMix is connected to the NETWORK [PC] connector of a DSP engine or control surface using an Ethernet cable. Make sure that the Ethernet cable is connected to the LAN port of the Wi-Fi device. Please note that StageMix is only operable while the control surface is turned on. 1. Open the NETWORK screen of the RIVAGE PM system to specify the IP address and subnet mask in the CONSOLE IP SETTING. 2.
NOTE: • Up to two StageMix apps can be connected to one console surface. Example 3: Connection with MonitorMix A Wi-Fi device (e.g., access point or router) for MonitorMix is connected to the NETWORK [PC] connector of a DSP engine or control surface using an Ethernet cable. Make sure that the Ethernet cable is connected to the LAN port of the Wi-Fi device.
1. Open the NETWORK screen of the RIVAGE PM system and specify the IP address and subnet mask for the DSP ENGINE IP SETTING. 2. Press the ENABLE button in the DSP ENGINE IP SETTING field to turn it on. Do not share a Wi-Fi access point with more than one RIVAGE PM system by connecting their NETWORK [PC] connectors to the access point. NOTE: • Up to ten MonitorMix apps can be connected to one RIVAGE PM system.
Example 4: Connection with StageMix and MonitorMix in one system A Wi-Fi device (e.g., access point or router) for StageMix and MonitorMix is connected to the NETWORK [PC] connector of a DSP engine or control surface using an Ethernet cable. Make sure that the Ethernet cable is connected to the LAN port of the Wi-Fi device. StageMix and MonitorMix can be used together by connecting them to the same access point or two different access points. 1.
When using two separate Wi-Fi access points in different subnets: Specify an IP address in a different subnet (network address) for both the CONSOLE IP SETTING and the DSP ENGINE IP SETTING. • 2. Example of IP settings IP Address Subnet Mask CONSOLE IP 192.168.0.10 255.255.255.0 StageMix 192.168.0.xxx 255.255.255.0 Wi-Fi Access Point for StageMix 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0 DSP ENGINE IP 192.168.1.10 255.255.255.0 MonitorMix 192.168.1.xxx 255.255.255.
3. Dante Network Settings By installing an HY144-D/-SRC, a Dante device can be used as a RIVAGE PM system component. Up to 24 units can be mounted to a single HY144-D/-SRC and up to 48 units can be controlled for a single DSP engine. In addition, the maximum number of channels that can be controlled per mounted device is 128. What is Dante? Dante is a network audio protocol developed by Audinate.
Network Connection Example Do not connect a Dante Network switch to a Control Network switch in which the PM Editor, StageMix, or MonitorMix are connected.
To use multiple HY144-D/-SRCs, Yamaha recommends that all the cards be used in the same Dante network. However, if you would like to connect the cards to multiple Dante networks that are physically separated, specify an IP address in a different subnet for each Dante network. And make sure to connect all the installed HY144-D cards on the Dante network. 3.2. Configuring HY144-D/-SRC Specify the Primary/Secondary IP and SLOT IP settings for Dante devices.
To set up SLOT IP The SLOT IP settings are for control communications between the HY144-D/-SRC and the DSP engine. To remotely control a supported device, adjust the SLOT IP settings. 1. Press the SETUP button in the menu bar to access the SETUP screen, and then press the SYSTEM CONFIG button. 2. Press the HY SLOT tab where an HY144-D/-SRC card is installed to display the HY SLOT window.
3. Press the NETWORK button. 4. Input the SLOT IP SETTING. Make sure to specify an IP address that is in the same subnet as the Dante network. The following IP addresses cannot be used for the STATIC IP of the SLOT IP SETTING. • 192.168.53.xxx /24 172.17.xxx.xxx /16 - 172.24.xxx.xxx/16 (These are reserved for RIVAGE PM systems.) • 169.254.xxx.
To set up DANTE CONTROL ID The Dante Control ID needs to be set to remotely control the Rio series head amps. To use multiple HY144-D/-SRC cards, set a unique ID for each card (except for ID OFF). 1. Open the HY SLOT window, and then press the DANTE SETUP button. 2. Choose the ID number from the DANTE CONTROL ID field. To connect more than four cards*1 in one network, set the fifth and subsequent cards OFF. However, please note that the cards whose ID is set to off cannot remotely control the head amps.
3.3. Connection Examples This section gives you connection examples of a RIVAGE PM system with Dante devices and provides precautions when connecting and setting up your system. Example 1: A single Dante network AUTO IP Setting The AUTO option automatically determines the Primary/Secondary IP and SLOT IP for the Dante device. Make sure that the Primary/Secondary IP and SLOT IP for each Dante device is set to AUTO (DHCP), which is the default.
Make sure that the IP address specified for the Dante device IP address and the SLOT IP are in the same subnet. When setting the IP address using a DHCP server, make sure that IP addresses assigned to the Dante device’s Primary/Secondary IP and SLOT IP are not in the same subnet as the following IP addresses reserved for the RIVAGE PM system or the IP address assigned in the DSP ENGINE IP SETTING. • 192.168.53.xxx /24 172.17.xxx.xxx /16 - 172.24.xxx.xxx/16 (These are reserved for RIVAGE PM systems.
Make sure to specify an IP address that is in the same subnet as the Dante network for the SLOT IP. The following IP addresses cannot be used for the STATIC IP of the SLOT IP SETTING. • 192.168.53.xxx /24 172.17.xxx.xxx /16 - 172.24.xxx.xxx/16 (These are reserved for RIVAGE PM systems.) • 169.254.xxx.xxx /16 (Link-local addresses) *1 • Multicast addresses Use an IP address in a different subnet from the IP address assigned to the DSP ENGINE IP SETTING.
To connect two or more physically separate Dante networks using the AUTO IP setting, use a DHCP server to assign IP addresses in different subnets (network addresses) to each network. Make sure that the IP address specified for the Dante device IP address and the SLOT IP are in the same subnet. As shown in the following example, two or more Dante networks cannot be used if they all use link-local addresses or their IP addresses are in the same subnet.
When using a DHCP server to set an IP address, make sure that the IP addresses assigned to the Dante device’s Primary/Secondary IP and SLOT IP are not in the same subnet as the following IP addresses reserved for the RIVAGE PM system or the IP address of the DSP ENGINE IP SETTING. • 192.168.53.xxx /24 172.17.xxx.xxx /16 - 172.24.xxx.xxx/16 (These are reserved for RIVAGE PM systems.) To use multiple HY144-D/-SRC cards, specify the Dante Control ID. Set a unique ID to each card (except for ID OFF).
Make sure that the IP address specified for the Dante device IP address and the SLOT IP are in the same subnet. The following IP addresses cannot be used for the STATIC IP of the SLOT IP SETTING. • 192.168.53.xxx /24 172.17.xxx.xxx /16 - 172.24.xxx.xxx/16 (These are reserved for RIVAGE PM systems.) • 169.254.xxx.xxx /16 (Link-local addresses) *1 • Multicast addresses Use an IP address in a different subnet from the IP address used for the DSP ENGINE IP SETTING.
Input the Primary/Secondary IP and SLOT IP settings of each Dante device in the Dante network to either Auto IP or Static IP. To connect two or more physically separate Dante networks, specify IP addresses in different subnets (network addresses) for each network. Example of IP setting Dante network 1 (AUTO IP): 169.254.xxx.xxx /255.255.0.0 Dante network 2 (STATIC IP): 192.168.10.xxx / 255.255.255.
