K 2TR OUT DIGITAL AES/EBU 1 & 2
These XLR-3-32-type connectors output AES/EBU format digital audio, and are typically
connected to the digital stereo inputs of 2-track recorders. The following signals can be
patched to these outputs: Stereo Out, Bus Outs, Aux Sends, Matrix Sends, Direct Outs,
Insert Outs, and Control Room. The sampling rate of the digital audio output can be set
independently of the DM2000 sampling rate by using the internal sampling rate converters.
Dither can be applied for digital audio transfer to lower-resolution systems. See “2TR Dig-
ital Outs” on page 68 for more information.
L 2TR IN DIGITAL COAXIAL 3
This phono connector accepts consumer format (IEC-60958) digital audio, and is typically
used to connect the digital stereo output of a 2-track recorder. Signals connected here can
be monitored via the CONTROL ROOM MONITOR OUT by pressing the CONTROL
ROOM [2TR D3] button. In addition, this input can be patched to Input Channels or
Insert Ins. Unsynchronized digital audio signals can be converted by the internal sampling
rate converters. See “2TR Digital Ins” on page 69 for more information.
M 2TR IN DIGITAL AES/EBU 1 & 2
These XLR-3-31-type connectors accept AES/EBU format digital audio, and are typically
used to connect the digital stereo outputs of 2-track recorders. Signals connected here can
be monitored via the CONTROL ROOM MONITOR OUT by pressing the CONTROL
ROOM [2TR D1] button or [2TR D2] button. In addition, these inputs can be patched
Input Channels or Insert Ins. Unsynchronized digital audio signals can be converted by the
internal sampling rate converters. See “2TR Digital Ins” on page 69 for more information.
N METER port
This 15-pin D-sub connector is for connecting the optional MB2000 Peak Meter Bridge.
O CONTROL port
This 25-pin D-sub connector provides access to the GPI (General Purpose Interface)
through which external equipment can be triggered when specified DM2000 faders or
USER DEFINE KEYS are operated. It can also be used to control a “RECORDING” light
outside of a studio, to trigger the Solo function of an 02R Digital Recording Console, or to
turn on Talkback from an external device. See “GPI (General Purpose Interface)” on page
264 for more information.
P REMOTE port
This 9-pin D-sub connector can be used to connect an optional Yamaha AD8HR/AD824
AD Converter, providing remote and recallable control of its head amp settings. Machines
that support the Sony P2 protocol can also be controlled from the DM2000 via this port. A
straight cable should be used to connect a P2 device; a reversed cable for an AD8HR/AD824.
See “Controlling AD8HR/AD824 A/D Converters” on page 267 and “About Machine Con-
trol (MMC & P2)” on page 256 for more information.
Q MIDI IN, OUT & THRU ports
These standard MIDI IN, OUT, and THRU ports are used to connect the DM2000 to other
MIDI equipment. Supported MIDI messages include Program Changes for Scene recall,
Control Changes and Parameter Changes for real-time parameter control, Bulk Dump for
data storage, MIDI Clock, MTC, and MMC. See “MIDI I/O” on page 215 for more infor-
mation.
R CASCADE IN & OUT ports
These 64-pin connectors can be used to cascade up to four DM2000s to create a multi-
ple-unit mixing system. The DM2000 can also be cascaded with an 02R Digital Recording
Console. See “Cascading Consoles” on page 74 for more information.
