  • Page 34: Planning D-Mitri Systems

    D-Mitri systems are scalable; the modules needed for any given system vary. Considerations for I/O, processing, channel count, live backup modules, and physical location dictate the scale of the D-Mitri system. The following section describes how to determine the comple- ment of D-Mitri modules that fit the application.
  • Page 35 288 input channels, 288 busses, and 288 output channels (for sys- tems with up to four DCP modules and one backup DCP module). D-Mitri systems can scale up to a maximum of 288 inputs, 288 busses, and 288 outputs. Live Backup Modules Additional DCP, DCM, and WTRX modules can be added to a system as designated backup modules.

    Backup modules are automatically put to use if one of the main modules suddenly goes offline. It is recommended that one D-Mitri processor module be connected as a backup module, coming online in the case of emergency. DCP, DCM-2, DCM-4, and DWTRX modules can be designated as backup modules in the CueStation mixer configuration.

    The return trip for audio begins with DCM matrix mixing modules sending audio streams at 96 kHz sample rate with 32-bit resolution over Matrix Link to DCP modules. GNet DCP modules send audio over D-Mitri’s GNet Ethernet network to I/O modules equipped with outputs. AUDIO OUTPUT Once all conversion, routing, and matrix mixing of audio signals is complete, and streams have traversed the network, signal is presented to modules with output connectors.

    APPENDIX A: SPECIFICATIONS AND COMPLIANCE FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION (FCC) STATEMENT This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial envi- ronment.

  • Page 107: Appendix B: D-Mitri Firmware

    CueStation deploys D-Mitri firmware through the Module Commissioning window, which sup- ports the dmitriUniversalFirmware format. A file in this format includes firmware for all mod- ules for a given release, enabling the user to update the entire D-Mitri system with a single file. CAUTION: Do not update firmware unless advised by Meyer Sound Technical Support.
  • Page 108 APPENDIX B: D-MITRI FIRMWARE Putting a D-Mitri Module in Running Mode To put a D-Mitri module in Running mode: 1. Supply power to the unit. The module boots into Running mode, which is its normal condition. When pressed, the OLED button displays the following information: ■...
  • Page 109 DGPIO ■ If the D-Mitri system employs a backup GNet audio network, a computer running CueStation can be temporarily connected to any port on one of the backup GNet audio network switches that has VLAN 256 tagged. With this connection, multiple I/O modules can be updated simul- taneously without the need for re-patching modules to the Control network.

    5. Choose Windows > Mixer Configuration. 6. Choose Configuration > Commission Modules. The D-Mitri Module Commissioning win- dow displays a list of the detected D-Mitri modules and additional information, including their type, name, system, serial number, and firmware version.
  • Page 111 The displayed version refreshes shortly after communication has been estab- lished with all modules. 7. To filter the display of D-Mitri modules based on their system, select a system from the Show System menu at the bottom of the window.
  • Page 112 Modules may automatically power off as part of their firmware update procedure. If the update procedure is interrupted by manually powering off a D-Mitri module, the firmware for that module may become corrupted and require re- installation. MEYER SOUND TECHNICAL SUPPORT If you encounter any problems while installing or operating any of the software, hardware, or firmware in this guide, please contact Meyer Sound Technical Support.

    D-MITRI USER GUIDE APPENDIX C: DGPIO TERMINAL CONNECTIONS DGPIO: D-Mitri General Purpose I/O modules contain terminal strip connections for wiring relays, switches, potentiometers, contact closures for manual control of cue recall (such as click tracks), and connecting to external control systems such as fire alarms to allow for auto- mated system control.

  • Page 114: Adc Input

    APPENDIX C: DGPIO TERMINAL CONNECTIONS ADC INPUT The Analog Direct Current Input terminals feature 4 inputs, which sense incoming voltage (from 0–5 V) to control parameters within CueStation. Using a potentiometer to control the level of a VGroup is one example that utilizes ADC Inputs. Another example is matching the physical position of a set piece with a Space Map Trajectory so that the trajectory follows exact position of moving scenery.

    APPENDIX C: DGPIO TERMINAL CONNECTIONS RELAY OUTPUT Relay Output terminals feature 6 internal relays with two contacts each. Relay Outputs can be used to interface with external devices, and even be connected to logic inputs on other sys- tems. Using LEDs to indicate cue recall in CueStation is one example that utilizes Relay Out- puts.

  • Page 121: Appendix D: Configuring Switch Vlan Settings

    D-MITRI USER GUIDE APPENDIX D: CONFIGURING SWITCH VLAN SETTINGS Configuring the GNet audio network for D-Mitri modules involves installing one or more GNet audio network switches configured by Meyer Sound to route audio data traffic among the modules. When module connections match the system design provided by Meyer Sound, these configured switches require no user intervention or configuration.

    APPENDIX D: CONFIGURING SWITCH VLAN SETTINGS USING TELNET Telnet allows text commands to be sent between a computer and the Netgear GS724Tv3 Gigabit Smart Switch. It can be used to configure VLAN settings of the switch for GNet traffic according to the settings report generated by CueStation. The process of using Telnet varies by operating system.
