Machine Control and MIDI Functions
There are four different means by which machines can be remotely controlled by the DMX-R100:
• MIDI Machine Control (MMC)
• Via standard 9-pin Sony protocol from either of two ports
• By sending SMPTE time code from the DMX-R100 internal generator
To select which means to use, simply press Port Select button (the box below the machine number) on the
touchscreen: a menu will drop down. (See Figure 3)
The "NC" option means "No Connection" and is used to disable a selected machine. Individual machines can
also be named with up to five characters: to do so, simply touch the machine number and then either touch the
KEYBOARD button in the upper left-hand corner of the touchscreen or use an externally connected keyboard.
Bear in mind that not all devices implement MMC or the 9-pin protocol fully, so the DMX-R100 may not be
able to remotely control every kind of machine. When in doubt, the safest course of action is to set the
DMX-R100 to transmit SMPTE time code via machine control and to set the remote device to chase-lock.
