Chaper 1 Overview

Overview

The DMX-R100 is a compact digital audio mixer for a

post production house that creates digital media or

digital broadcasting.

High quality audio signal processing

The unit allows you to select the sampling frequency

to 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz or 96 kHz.

When you select either 88.2 kHz or 96 kHz, the

frequency response range expands to 40 kHz.

The analog signal is converted to a 24-bit digital signal

in the mixer. The unit enables AES/EBU format input/

output with at least 24-bit precision. The high

precision floating point used for internal calculation

results in high quality signal processing.

When either 88.2 kHz or 96 kHz is selected as a sampling

frequency, the number of channels and optional boards is

limited.

For details, see page 76.

Easy operation using the high resolution

color LCD and touch panels

The parameters of each channel are displayed in color

and as patterns on one screen. This improves the

operation for equalization or dynamics setting and

allows you to perform operations precisely and

quickly.

Snapshot/Automation functions for

professional use

• Snapshot

The unit can memorize up to 99 control settings

(snapshots) such as settings of faders and controls on

the channel strips, settings of the equalizer or

dynamics for source signals, signal path, etc., as

snapshot data. You can easily recall the snapshot

data, allowing you to preset programs

instantaneously.

• Automation

You can select either SMPTE or MTC (MIDI

timecode) as the timecode for reference.

The unit can memorize and recall parameters such as

faders, pan controls, equalizer, dynamics and AUX

signal setting. Also the fader is touch sensitive to

improve operation. A scene stored as a snapshot data

can be linked with a cue point with a defined

timecode value. These functions provide you with the

same function as those of a large console-type mixer.

• You can store snapshot automation data and dynamic

automation data on a 3.5-inch floppy disk.

The channel strips

The LEDs of the pan controls and faders on the

channel strip allow you to see the analog data at a

glance. You can define the desired parameters to pan

pots and faders, directly confirming analog data on the

channel strips.

Flexible built-in matrix switchers

• The built-in input matrix switcher allows you to

assign standard analog input, digital input or input

from option boards to any desired channel. You can

change the switcher operation easily using the touch

panel on the screen.

• The built-in output matrix switcher allows you to

assign the outputs of PGM buses, AUX buses and

MTR buses to the output of the desired optional

boards. Also, the unit can output one signal to

different output connectors at the same time.

Large number of channels

• The unit is equipped with 24 analog channels which

can input a wide variety of analog sources. Also, the

unit is equipped with XLR connectors and standard

TRS jacks.

• In addition to 48 fully featured input channels, the

unit has 8 AUX returns. This allows you to mix up to

56 channels at the same time. Also, the PGM bus,

AUX bus and MTR bus are equipped with equalizer

and dynamics control.

• The unit has four optional slots. The optional board

handles 8 inputs and/or outputs. Thus, maximum 32

channels of inputs/outputs are available from the four

slots.

Surround mode

• 5.1 surround mode can be set using the MTR bus.

• The unit has 6 channels for surround monitors, so it is

not necessary to use other outputs for monitoring.

• You can control the surround pan with touch panel

operation.

Stored sound images can be recalled using dynamic

automation.

Connection to video equipment

• The unit can synchronize with video equipment such

as a digital VTR, by supplying reference video

signals. Since the unit is equipped with video input

connectors, it is not necessary to use an external

connector.

• The unit can control external devices conforming to

the Sony 9-pin remote serial interface, by connecting

external devices such as a VTR to the remote

connector on the rear panel.

About Titles

In operating the unit, data such as snapshots, dynamic automation data,

sampling frequencies and timecode required for the mixing operation are

stored in ‘Titles’.

There are two types of titles: One is the “current title” automatically

created in the flash memory, the other is the title stored as a file.

For detailed information on how to create a title, see “TITLE MANAGER

Window” on page 72.

Initializing a title (CURRENT TITLE CLEAR)

A new current title which has no data is created based on the current

sampling frequency and timecode mode setting. At this time, all data other

than the sampling frequency and timecode are cleared.

The current title is the work title created in the memory or flash memory.

Saving a title

The current title is saved into the specified TITLE number.

Loading a title

The specified title is loaded in the current title.

If the setting for Fs (sampling frequency) and/or SYNC SOURCE is

different between the loaded title and current title, the unit restarts after

giving a confirmation message.

Changing the sampling frequency

When you change the sampling frequency, the contents of the current title

is cleared.

Titles when turning on the power of the unit

When there are created titles

•The sampling frequency, sync source and timecode mode are set on the

unit according to the content of the existing title.

•The current title worked on just before turning off the unit is

automatically loaded. The initial cue is automatically recalled and the

dynamic automation data is automatically loaded into the effective
