Slot card configuration

As mentioned, you can expand the capabilities of the DM-3200 with the optional slot cards available.

These cards are as follows:

IF-AN/DMproviding eight channels each of A/D and D/A conversion. Referred to on screen as AD/DA Card. Can be installed in slot 1 or slot 2.

An on-screen DETAIL button allows the viewing of information related to each of the four stereo input and output channels (a popup appears on screen).

MUTE DEFEAT can be enabled or disabled for each of the four channels (see above for details of this).

IF-TD/DMproviding eight channels of digital I/O in TDIF-1 format. Referred to on screen as

Card. Can be installed in slot 1 or slot 2.

The current status of the input and output channels is also shown on the screen.

Other connections

MIDI connections (IN, OUT and THRU) Use these standard MIDI connectors to connect the DM- 3200 to other equipment. The THRU terminal also functions as a MIDI Timecode output terminal.

This MIDI functionality can be used to provide either open or closed MMC loop control of remote devices, as well as allowing the DM-3200 to control other devices through its faders and encoders. See “MIDI” on page 91 for details.

NOTE

The USB connector provides MIDI to and from a host computer for DAW control, etc. There is no need to make a separate MIDI connection to and from such a computer.

RS-422 serial control terminal This 9-pin D- sub connector is used to provide control of suitably- equipped devices, using P2 protocol, etc. See “Remote operation” on page 93 for details.

TIME CODE This 1/4" unbalanced jack accepts lin- ear SMPTE/EBU timecode for synchronization with other devices. Note that the DM-3200 does not gen- erate linear timecode, and can neither accept nor gen- erate vertical timecode.

WORD SYNC (IN and OUT/THRU) In any digital audio setup, it is important that there is one, and only one, word sync source.
