Cascade Connections - Yamaha M7CL Owner's Manual

An overview of the M7CL

■ Cascade connections

in the digital domain
A second M7CL unit or a digital mixer such as the
Yamaha PM5D connected via a digital I/O card installed
in a slot can be cascade-connected in the digital domain.
Of the MIX buses, MATRIX buses, STEREO/MONO
buses, and CUE bus, up to twenty-four buses can be cas-
caded individually.
■ Security functions that can be
specified at user-level or system-level
The available functionality can be restricted for users
other than the administrator, with three levels of security;
Administrator, Guest, and User. Passwords can be speci-
fied for the administrator and users, preventing important
settings from being changed accidentally.
Information specific to each user (user level, system set-
tings, and user-defined key settings) can be stored on a
USB storage device as a "user authentication key." By
loading your own user authentication key from a USB
storage device, you can instantly set up the ideal operating
environment for yourself.

■ I/O card expansion
The rear panel provides three slots in which separately
sold mini-YGDAI cards can be installed. AD cards, DA
cards, or digital I/O cards can be installed in these slots to
add inputs and outputs. If an external head amp unit (such
as the Yamaha AD8HR) that supports a special protocol is
connected to the REMOTE connector, the phantom power
and gain settings of the external head amp can also be
remotely controlled from the M7CL.
