insert send and return, each input channel features independent balanced send and return jacks (insert switches are provided on the console). Then there are balanced analog studio, stereo, control room, and monitor outputs as well as eight balanced “omni” bus outputs. Two analog 2-track inputs are also provided — one balanced and one unbalanced. Other connectors. Digital I/O is provided via digital 2-track inputs and outputs featuring both AES/EBU and coaxial connectors. On-board sample rate conversion allows CD players and other digital sources connected to the digital input to be monitored or routed to an input channel without having to be synchronized to the system clock. A wide range of synchronization and control options are available via word clock inputs and outputs, SMPTE and MTC time code inputs, MIDI connectors, a keyboard connector, and both serial and USB “to host” connectors. Cascade in and output connectors allow two DM2000 consoles to be cascaded to provide up to 192 channels. Even the cooling fan is specially designed for ultra-quiet operation so that machine noise doesn’t interfere with critical monitoring or recording operations.

The CONTROL port provides a General Purpose Interface (GPI) that you can configure to output or receive trigger signals to which you can assign various functions. In the DM2000 Version 2, the GPI Setup page has been completely renovated.

The following are some examples of how you might utilize GPI functionality:

•You could use a fader to send a signal to start a CD player.

•A producer could have his own remote talkback switch in the control room to communicate with the musicians in the studio.

•You could control from the console a “Recording” warning light located outside the studio.

•You could control the console’s dimmer function using an outside switch.

15.Memory Card Data Storage

Automix and scene recall capability are important features that can dramatically streamline the production process, but data portability via compact SmartMedia™ memory cards takes this convenience to a new level. All automix and scene data can be saved to memory cards and transferred and simply archived or transferred to another DM2000. A mix you make in one studio can, for example, be instantly replicated in another so you don’t have to spend time manually setting up parameters to achieve the same results.
