Frame I/O - Configuring the DSP Frame

Use this dialog to configure the modules in the DSP frame, to update the firmware and to reset the DSP frame.

Figure 19: Configuration dialog “Frame I/O” with module selection menu.

To assign a module to a slot, right-click on the slot and choose the desired module from the context menu. To change the settings of a certain module, double-click on it. This will open the appropriate configuration dialog for the choosen module.

[Tip]Tip

If you let the mouse pointer rest over any module in the DSP frame, it will display its number as a tool tip.

To update the firmware, click the button Firmware. Choose the file with the new firmware and upload it to the DSP frame. (see also Managing the Firmware)

To reset the DSP frame, click the button Reset. A confirmation dialog appears. If you click yes there, the DSP frame resets itself.

[Warning]Warning

Do not reset the DSP frame while the RM2200D is used or even On Air! Although you can not damage the system, a reset loads the Basic Setup 0 as defined in the Full Screen Display. This setup can be different from the current state of the RM2200D and therefore affect the audio output of the mixer in unpredictable ways. (see Full Screen Display)

Below the picture of the DSP frame there are two rows with pop-up menus, which control the following options:

Configuring Digital Audio Outputs

  • Label. Enter a descriptive name for the input here. This name will appear in all other parts of the software to identify this input.

  • On-Air Logic 2. If you check this box, the output signal will be muted when the logic source On-Air logic 2 becomes active. You can use this for example to mute loudspeakers when microphones are opened.

  • CS Routing information. If you check this box, you enable a special feature called CS Routing to work with this channel.

    [Important]Important

    You can enable CS Routing only if a properly configured Router Control Panel RM420-018 or a Yellowtec Intellimix is connected to this output. Also, the input assigned to the output must be connected to the RM420-018 or the Intellimix using the same RJ45 connector on a RM220-111 Digital In/Out/GPIO module.

    These two devices can control which internal audio signals of the RM2200D are routed to the outputs of the RM2200D, which in turn are connected to their inputs. They use the Channel Status Bits of the AES/EBU data stream to tell the RM2200D on the input channel, which signal it should put onto the output channel. To achieve that, in the AES/EBU data stream, the ASCII fields Source and Destination of the Channel Status Data are used for transferring the corresponding address. Please note, that CS Routing only works for AES/EBU inputs and outputs sharing the same RJ 45 socket!

RM220-228 Analog In Selector Module

This is a special module. It contains 4 stereo line inputs which can be routed to fader channels using the Input Pool. Additionally, it contains 4 stereo line inputs which can be used for monitoring only.

[Important]Important

Both the fader inputs and the monitor inputs work like a “classic” A,B,C,D input selector. You can only use one input signal as fader input at any time. Similar, you can only use one monitor input as source for the RM2200D monitoring system. You can not use the monitor inputs as signal sources for fader channels!

Please note also, that you can only use one module RM420-228 in a RM2200D. This gives youe one selector on one fader and one selector in the monitoring section!

Please consider these restrictions when designing your studio setup!

(see also RM220-228 Analog In Selector Module (stereo))

The module provides:

  • 1 stereo input selector with A,B,C,D stereo inputs to route signals into fader channels.
