Daw Midi Interface - Solid State Logic C300 HD Installation Manual

Installation Wiring
Section 5
DAW MIDI Connection (Option)
The DAW interface is supplied as standard and a separate 1U breakout panel is provided for access to the system's Midi
circuits. This panel is connected to the lower rear of the Centuri chassis and should be mounted in a suitable position in
the equipment rack. (See diagram below).
The panel provides access to 12 pairs of MIDI ports for workstation control using the 'HUI' protocol together with a MIDI
timecode output from the console's internal timecode generator. The port marked 'IN Timecode' is currently not used.
Each pair of DAW ports supports 8 channels of workstation control. These ports can be distributed amongst four different
workstations. The maximum number of ports that can be utilised for control is workstation specific – for example, the
DigiDesign Pro Tools is limited to a maximum of 4 ports. Please consult the DAW documentation to determine how many
physical ports can be used. In most cases the DAW software supports banking so that the physical console control channels
can be paged through all the available tracks in a workstation session.
Port 12 'IN' also accepts the MMC (Midi Machine Control) locate command. This is used in conjunction with timecode
from the master DAW to update the desk timeline.
Standard Midi 5-pin DIN cables should be used to connect the workstation.
The 'Expansion' connector has no function on C300.
Refer to Appendix G page 68 for additional information on machine control.
