Precautions for Using a Rack-mounted DME Satellite
If several DME Satellite units (or a DME Satellite unit together with
other devices) are installed in a poorly-ventilated rack, the heat
generated by each unit may raise the temperature inside the rack,
preventing the DME Satellite from performing as designed. When
mounting DME Satellite units in a rack, please leave one rack space
vacant for every two units. You can attach a ventilation panel to this
space or leave it open to prevent excessive heat build-up.
If the temperature inside the rack is expected to rise above 40
degrees Celsius or 104 degrees Fahrenheit (or if the ambient
temperature outside the rack is expected to rise above 30 degrees
Celsius or 86 Fahrenheit), install a fan kit in the top row of the rack.
The fan must provide airflow of 1.6 m
3
/min or more and static
pressure of 5 mmH
2
O or more.
Vorsichtsmaßnahmen für den Einsatz eines im Rack montierten DME Satellite
Wenn in einem schlecht belüfteten Rack mehrere DME Satellite-
Einheiten (oder eine DME Satellite-Einheit zusammen mit anderen
Geräten) untergebracht sind, kann die von den Geräten erzeugte
Wärme die Temperatur im Rack erhöhen, was die vorgesehene
Leistung des DME Satellite beeinträchtigt. Wenn Sie DME Satellite-
Einheiten in einem Rack einbauen, lassen Sie bitte alle zwei Geräte
einen Rack-Platz frei. Sie können an diesem Platz eine
Lüftungsverkleidung anbringen oder ihn offen lassen, um die
Entwicklung übermäßiger Hitze zu verhindern.
Wenn zu erwarten ist, dass die Temperatur im Rack über 40 Grad
Celsius oder 104 Grad Fahrenheit ansteigt (oder wenn die
Umgebungstemperatur außerhalb des Racks über 30 Grad Celsius
oder 86 Grad Fahrenheit ansteigt), installieren Sie eine
Lüftereinheit im Rack. Der Lüfter muss einen Luftdurchsatz von
mindestens 1,6 m
3
/Minute oder mehr haben und einen statischen
Druck von 5 mmH
2
O erzeugen können.
Précautions à prendre en cas d’utilisation d’un satellite DME monté en rack
Si vous installez plusieurs satellites DME (ou un satellite DME et
d’autres périphériques) dans un rack mal aéré, la chaleur générée
par chaque unité risque d’augmenter la température à l’intérieur
du rack et d’empêcher le satellite DME de fonctionner
correctement. Lorsque vous montez des satellites DME en rack,
laissez un espace libre équivalant à un rack entre deux unités. Vous
pouvez recouvrir cet espace d’un panneau de ventilation ou le
laisser ouvert pour éviter toute accumulation de chaleur excessive.
Si vous craignez que la température à l’intérieur du rack ne dépasse
40 degrés Celsius ou 104 degrés Fahrenheit (ou que la température
ambiante à l’extérieur du rack ne dépasse 30 degrés Celsius ou 86
degrés Fahrenheit), installez un kit de ventilation sur la rangée
supérieure du rack. Le ventilateur doit fournir un flux d’air de
1,6 m
3
/min ou plus et une pression statique de 5 mmH
2
O ou plus.
Precauciones para utilizar una DME Satellite de montaje en bastidor
Si se instalan varias unidades DME Satellite (o una unidad DME
Satellite con otros dispositivos) en un bastidor insuficientemente
ventilado, el calor generado por cada unidad podría aumentar la
temperatura en el interior del bastidor, impidiendo que la unidad
DME Satellite funcione de la manera prevista. Cuando monte
unidades DME Satellite en un bastidor, deje un espacio de bastidor
libre por cada dos unidades. Puede instalar un panel de ventilación
en este espacio, o bien dejarlo abierto para evitar la acumulación de
un calor excesivo.
Si se espera que la temperatura interior del bastidor supere los 40
grados Celsius (o que la temperatura ambiente fuera del bastidor
supere los 30 grados Celsius), instale un kit de ventilación en la fila
superior del bastidor. El ventilador debe proporcionar una
corriente de aire de 1,6 m
3
/min o más y una presión de 5 mmH
2
O
o más.

Precautions for Using a
Rack-mounted DME Satellite
If you install the DME Satellite along with other DME Sat-
ellite units or other devices in a poorly ventilated rack, the
ambient temperature inside the rack may rise, resulting in in-
efficient performance. Be sure to install the DME Satellite in
a well-ventilated rack and make sure that the heat will be
ventilated efficiently.
If the temperature inside the rack is expected to rise above 40
degrees Celsius or 104 degrees Fahrenheit (or if the ambient
temperature outside the rack is expected to rise above 30 de-
grees Celsius or 86 Fahrenheit), install a fan kit in the top
row of the rack. The fan must provide airflow of 1.6m

Audio System Network
Multiple DME series units that are interconnected in a network via Ethernet function as a single audio system.
In a DME audio system, a group of the same models that can be operated in sync is called a “device group;” audio
processing divisions that accommodate multiple device groups are called “zones;” and the entire area serviced by
the acoustic system is called an “area.”
Each device group always includes one DME series unit that functions as the “group master” and controls all other
DME series units in the same device group.
If a computer is connected to the network, you can use the computer to control an entire device group via the
group master.
Glossary for the DME Satellite
This section explains terminology specific to the DME Satellite.
Components and parameters
The individual audio processing modules (equalizers, compressors, etc.) are called “components.”
External head amplifier control modules are also available as components.
Changing the parameters of components enables control over the operation of the components.
Configuration
A “configuration” is a complete set of components for constructing an audio system.
Each configuration determines the audio function(s) of the corresponding DME Satellite unit.
All parameter sets included with each component in a configuration are called “preset parameters.”
One DME Satellite unit has a number of configurations, and a configuration has a number of preset parameters.
User Defined buttons (User Defined parameters)
Assigning parameters to be User Defined parameters enables you to control the device from the ICP1.
Refer to the DME Designer Owner’s Manual for details.

Signal Types
DME Satellite audio system signals can be broadly categorized as follows.
Audio
The DME Satellite will be required to send and receive audio signals to and from other DME series units as well
as other audio equipment.
Audio signal transmission and reception will occur primarily via the [INPUT] and [OUTPUT] connectors.
The CobraNet connectors can also transmit and receive digital audio signals.
Device group control
Device group control signals control all DME series devices in the group.
There are two types of device group control signals, as follows:
Control signals between the computer and the group master DME series unit
Control signals between the group master DME series unit and the other DME series
units
You can use the DME Designer application to control the entire device group, such as sending components to the
devices and setting the parameters as required.
Device control
These signals provide communication and control between individual devices.
Included in this category are MIDI messages transferred between [USB] connectors, GPI signals transferred be-
tween [GPI] connectors, and remote head amp control signals handled via the [REMOTE] connector.

About DME Designer
DME Designer software enables you to integrate, configure, and control the DME series system from a connected
computer.
You can build the DME series audio system using graphic blocks in DME Designer that are displayed on the com-
puter monitor.
The DME series settings, configuration, and parameter data are transferred from the computer to the DME series
unit via the USB or Ethernet connection.
Once the data is transferred to the unit, you can disconnect the DME series unit from the computer and use it as
a stand-alone processor.
Alternatively, you can control the DME series unit real-time from DME Designer as long as it is connected to a
computer.
If multiple DME series units are connected in the network, DME Designer enables you to build a configuration
that includes those units.
Refer to the “Connecting to a Computer” (page 22) for more information on connecting a computer to the DME
Satellite. Refer to the DME Designer Installation Guide for detailed information on installing the DME Designer
application and required software drivers.
Refer to the DME Designer Owner’s Manual for setup and operation instructions.

About CobraNet
CobraNet in a nutshell
Developed by Cirrus Logic, Inc., U.S., CobraNet technology allows real-time uncompressed digital audio distri-
bution over industry-standard Fast Ethernet (100 megabits/sec.) networks.
Up to 128 channels, 64 in each direction, can be carried simultaneously over a CobraNet network.
(The number of channels available depends on the performance of the devices and the condition of audio signals.)
CobraNet currently supports a 48 or 96 kHz sampling rate with 16, 20, or 24-bit resolution.
It can also transfer control data along with audio signals.
The type of control data that the network can handle depends on the type of devices on the network.
When an audio signal passes through the CobraNet network, it causes a fixed latency of 5.33 milliseconds (or,
depending on the setting, 2.67 or 1.33 milliseconds).
Visit the CobraNet home page for more information on CobraNet.
CobraNet home page
http://www.cobranet.info/
Bundle
CobraNet network transmits digital audio data in bundles. When bundles are received, they are converted back
into the original digital audio data.
With the DME Satellite, a single bundle can carry up to eight channels of digital audio.
For routing around the network, bundles are assigned numbers from 1 through 65,279. If you set the same bundle
number on both transmitting and receiving devices, digital audio data can be transmitted over CobraNet network.
There is no limitation to the number of bundles that can be transmitted and received over the CobraNet network,
as long as there are enough network resources.
The number of bundles that can be handled depends on the device.
The DME Satellite can use up to 4 output bundles and up to 8 input bundles.
You can specify the bundle number by using the DME Designer application.
The maximum number of channels that can be assigned to each bundle is as follows.
Maximum channels per bundle
* Since 96-kHz audio is handled as two 48-kHz signals combined, the maximum number of channels is halved.
** The audio signal output from the 4th channel will include some aliasing noise, and proper operation cannot be guaranteed.
Please do not use this channel.

Multicast and unicast bundles
CobraNet bundles can be either multicast or unicast.
Multicast bundles are transmitted from one device to multiple devices on the network (one-to-many). Unicast
bundles are transmitted from one device to another (one-to-one).
Unicast bundles are transmitted only when another device is configured to receive them by assigning the same
bundle numbers. On the other hand, multicast bundles are transmitted to all devices on the network regardless of
whether any devices are configured to receive them, and only devices that are configured to receive those bundles
actually process them.
It is recommended that no more than four multicast bundles (offering up to 32 channels) be used, since transmis-
sion of multicast bundles consumes more network resources.
Unicast bundles should be used if five or more bundles are required. It is also possible to set multiple devices to
receive the same unicast bundle number, and depending on the transmitting device up to 4 receiving devices may
be able to simultaneously receive the same bundle. This situation is known as “multi-unicast.” The DME Satellite
is capable of handling multi-unicast bundles.
Multicast and unicast bundles are identified by bundle number. Multicast bundles are numbered 1 through 255.
Unicast bundles are numbered 256 through 65,279.
Multicast bundle
If Device A is transmitting multicast
bundles, they will be transmitted to
all devices on the CobraNet net-
work (e.g., Devices B, C, and D in
the example).
Unicast bundle
If Device A is transmitting unicast
bundles, and the same bundle num-
bers are assigned to the transmitting
bundles on Device A and receiving
bundles on Device D, then Device
A will transmit the unicast bundels
to Device D.

Conductors and performers
One device on the CobraNet network works as the conductor (network sync master). All other CobraNet devices
are performers (network sync slaves). Each device synchronizes its own internal clock to the beat packets (sync
signals) transmitted by the conductor.
The conductor device is chosen automatically and no user intervention is required.
However, setting an appropriate conductor priority could enable users to assign any device as the conductor.
Refer to the DME Designer Owner’s Manual for more information on setting the conductor priority.
If the DME Satellite is the conductor, the [IN USE/CONDUCTOR] LED flashes orange.
If the conductor fails, another device automatically takes over.
Since the conductor transmits beat packets (sync signals) onto the network, each performer does not require an
external word clock connection, reducing cabling complexity and cost.
Any non-networked digital audio equipment should derive its word clock from a CobraNet networked device.
Cables and hubs for CobraNet network
Category-5 metal cables can be used for runs of up to 100 meters. The maximum distance for multimode fiber
optic cable is 2 kilometers.
However, due to differences in cables, as well as switching hub and CobraNet device performance, proper opera-
tion at the maximum length cannot be guaranteed in all cases.
Ethernet cables are categorized into crossover cables and straight cables. When you connect two devices directly
together, use a crossover Ethernet cable.
Use a switching hub and straight cables to connect three or more network devices.
NOTE
All CobraNet networked devices, regardless of whether each device serves as the conductor or a performer, can receive digital
audio data and control data.

6 CobraNet [PRIMARY]/[SECONDARY]
Connectors
The DME Satellite features two CobraNet connectors for
built-in redundancy: one for a primary network connection,
another for a secondary or backup connection. If for some
reason the primary connection fails (e.g., a cable is damaged,
inadvertently disconnected, or a switching hub fails), the sec-
ondary connection automatically kicks in. Audio transmis-
sion is momentarily interrupted, but the duration of
interruption varies depending on the hub performance or
settings, and the system configuration.
7 MAC Address
This is the CobraNet’s MAC (Media Access Control) ad-
dress.
8 [GPI] Connector
This Euroblock connector provides access to the unit’s GPI
(General Purpose Interface) interface for transfer of control
signals to and from external equipment. It features 8-port in-
put and 4-port output. The +V terminals have an output
voltage of 5 volts. The IN terminal detects voltage changes
from 0V to 5V. The OUT terminals output either signal “L”
or “H” at a TTL level. (See page 31.)
9 [INPUT] Connectors
These Euroblock connectors receive 8-channel analog audio
signals on the DME8i-C.
These Euroblock connectors receive 4-channel analog audio
signals on the DME4io-C.
) [OUTPUT] Connectors
These Euroblock connectors output 8-channel analog audio
signals on the DME8o-C.
These Euroblock connectors output 4-channel analog audio
signals on the DME4io-C.

USB Connection
To connect multiple DME Satellite units to a network, you must assign appropriate IP addresses and make other
network settings on all units. To achieve this, you need to connect the [USB] connector of one of the DME Sat-
ellite units to the USB port of the computer using USB cables, install USB-MIDI Driver and DME Designer on
the computer, then assign the IP addresses to the DME Satellite units from DME Designer.
USB connections can be used in the following three ways:
(1) Set up the network (e.g., assign a unique IP address to each DME Satellite) from DME Designer.
(2) Control the group master DME Satellite from DME Designer.
(3) Connect to any individual DME Satellite and control that DME Satellite unit by transmitting MIDI com-
mands from a MIDI sequencer or similar software.
Connecting to a Computer
NOTE
•Refer to the separate DME Designer Installation Guide for details on installing USB-MIDI Driver and DME Designer.
•Make sure that the USB-MIDI Driver’s THRU setting is “OFF.”
•Refer to “Network Settings” on page 23 for more information on assigning IP addresses from DME Designer.
NOTE
•You can use DME Designer to control an entire device group through the group master.
The correspondence between the MIDI commands to be received/transmitted and the scene parameters can be set up using
DME Designer.
The USB port being used by DME Designer is not available for use by a MIDI sequencer or other application.

Network Settings
Assign the IP address and master ID from DME Designer as shown below:
Setting the IP address
Each group of digits between periods in an IP address is called an “octet.” These groups of digits are called “1st
octet,” “2nd octet,” etc., starting from the left-most digit group.
You cannot specify 0, 127, or 223 through 255 for the 1st octet of the network address.
You can specify the following range of values for the 4th octet.
Master : 2-253
Slave : 3-253
Master and slave setting
Each device group must have one master. All other devices in the group are assigned as slave.
If a particular DME Satellite unit is assigned as slave, you must set its master ID to the value of the 4th octet of
the master DME Satellite IP address.
NOTE
•Subnet mask is fixed at 255.255.255.0.
The host address is automatically set to 254. Gateway address is the same network address as the IP address.
Assign each of DME series units a unique IP address so that there are no duplicates. Assigning duplicate IP addresses may
cause serious network problems.
•You cannot make any network settings while using the DME Designer application on-line. To make network settings, first
set DME Designer off-line. Refer to the DME Designer Owner’s Manual for details.
•If you have connected a PM5D and a DME Satellite via CobraNet and are controlling the DME Satellite from the PM5D,
you must specify a value of 2 as the fourth octet of the group master DME Satellite’s IP address.
NOTE
If you are using the DME Satellite along with a DME64N/24N, assign the DME Satellite as the master.

Ethernet Connection ([NETWORK] Connector)
To control the DME Satellite from the computer via Ethernet, use an Ethernet cable to connect the [NET-
WORK] connector on the rear panel of the DME Satellite to the computer, then install DME-N Network Driver.
Two DME Satellite units directly connected via Ethernet
You can connect devices in the same device group directly to each other using Ethernet cables, without connecting
them to a switching hub. If they are DME Satellite units, you can use either crossover cables or straight cables. In
this case, from DME Designer set Link Mode on both units to the same setting. Devices in different subnet (dif-
ferent network address) groups can be connected via a router or layer-3 compliant switching hub.
NOTE
•Refer to the separate DME Designer Installation Guide for details on installing DME-N Network Driver.
•Appropriate IP addresses must first be assigned to all devices connected to an Ethernet network. Connect your computer to
one of the DME Satellite units via USB, then assign the IP addresses from DME Designer (page 22).
HINT
Since the DME Satellite supports Auto MDI/MDI-X, it will automatically detect whether the connected cable is of the
straight type or crossover type, and will configure itself to create the optimal connection. Therefore, you can use either a
straight or crossover cable.

NOTE
The IP addresses in the diagram are examples.
•Use a switching hub that is compatible with 100Base-TX/10Base-T network speeds.
The maximum length of a cable between a switching hub and the DME Satellite is 100 meters. Due to the quality of cables
and switching hub performance, however, proper operation at the maximum length cannot be guaranteed in some cases.
Use a CAT5 STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cable to prevent electromagnetic interference.
•If you are using multiple DME series units, set Link Mode on each unit to the same setting. Yamaha recommends that you
select 100Base-TX for the Link Mode setting.

ble” is recalled.
The effective Bank Select, Program Change range is as follows:
Transmit
When the “Program Change Tx Switch” is on and a scene is
switched from DME Designer, the corresponding Program Change
number will be transmitted as specified by the “MIDI Program
Change Table” and “MIDI Tx Channel” settings.
Transmission does not occur when a scene with a different config-
uration is selected.
If multiple Program Change numbers are assigned to a single scene,
the Bank Select MSB/LSB and Program Change number corre-
sponding to the lowest number will be transmitted.
Bank Select MSB

4.2 Active Sensing (FEh)
Receive
MIDI communication will be initialized if no data is received with-
in 300 ms after reception (Running Status, etc., will be cleared).
Active Sensing
4.3 Control Change (Bnh)
Receive
When the “Control Change Rx Switch” is on, Control Change
messages are received on the MIDI channel specified by the “MIDI
Rx Channel” parameter.
If the “Control Change Omni Switch” is also on, however, Control
Change messages will be received on all MIDI channels regardless
of the “MIDI Rx Channel” setting.
Control Change parameter resolution is 128 regardless of the effec-
tive range of the parameter.
For finer settings use Parameter Change.
Transmit
When the “Control Change Tx Switch” is on and a parameter is ed-
ited via DME Designer, appropriate Control Change data will be
transmitted as specified by the “MIDI Control Change Table” and
“MIDI Tx Channel” settings.
Refer to “Supplementary Information 1” for cases in which multi-
ple messages are assigned to a single parameter.
4.4 Parameter Change (F0h - F7h)
Receive
When the “Parameter Change Rx Switch” is On, Parameter
Change messages are received on the MIDI channel specified by the
“Device ID (Rx Ch)” parameter.
Number Format Notation
Numbers ending with “h” are in hexadecimal format, while numbers
ending with “b” are binary format.
Characters “A” through “F” in hexadecimal numbers represent decimal
values 10 through 15. Other lower-case characters (usually “n” or “x”)
can represent any number.

Transmit
When the “Parameter Change Tx Switch” is On and a parameter is
edited via DME Designer, appropriate Parameter Change data will
be transmitted as specified by the “MIDI Parameter Change Table”
and “MIDI Tx Channel” settings.
Refer to “Supplementary Information 1” for cases in which multi-
ple messages are assigned to a single parameter.
Refer to “Supplementary Information 2” for information on setting
Parameter Data values.
Supplementary Information 1
Messages Transmitted When Multiple Messages are Assigned to
the Same Parameter
The DME8i-C/DME8o-C/DME4io-C MIDI transmit messages
are specified via the “MIDI Control Change Table” and “MIDI Pa-
rameter Change Table.”
(The “MIDI Control Change Table” and “MIDI Parameter
Change Table” can be set up via DME Designer.)
Multiple messages can be assigned to a single parameter, but the
DME8i-C/DME8o-C/DME4io-C will only transmit one of the as-
signed messages.
The transmitted messages are as follows:
If a Control Change message and a Parameter Change message
are assigned to the same parameter
the Control Change message will be transmitted.
If multiple Control Change numbers are assigned to the same pa-
rameter
the smallest Control Change number message will be trans-
mitted.
If multiple Parameter Change numbers are assigned to the same
parameter
the smallest Parameter Change number message will be trans-
mitted.
Supplementary Information 2
Setting the Parameter Change Message Parameter Data Values
The Parameter change parameter values are expressed as 32-bit in-
tegers with or without parity.
•A parity bit (positive:0, negative:1) is added above the most sig-
nificant value bit (bit 31).
Fractional parameters will be converted according to the integer
table.
For integers with parity, negative numbers are expressed as the
2’s complement.
