4. GETTING STARTED
4.1 Configuration of the system
Meanwhile, the system will restore the exact operating conditions at the time of switching off.
16.RS485 OUT
This is the standard serial communication interface port. It allows outgoing communication between a MAXI-
DRIVE3.4 and PC or other MAXIDRIVE3.4 units. The RS485 interface is very suitable for remote control over
long distances (difficult with RS232 standard ports) and daisy-chaining several MAXIDRIVE3.4.
17.RS485 IN
The function of the RS485 IN port is opposite to RS485 OUT. It allows incoming communication between a
MAXIDRIVE3.4 and PC or other MAXIDRIVE3.4 units. The RS485 interface is very suitable for remote control
over long distances (Difficult with RS232 standard ports) and for daisy-chaining several MAXIDRIVE3.4.
18.RS 232
This is the serial communication interface port. It allows incoming and outgoing communication between a MAXI-
DRIVE3.4 and a PC or other MAXIDRIVE3.4 units.
Communication protocol includes:
-Remote control:
1). Connect the MAXIDRIVE3.4 to a PC; 2). It is possible to use the
LTO editing software
to control functions of all the processor remotely.
-Preset Dump:
1). Connect two MAXIDRIVE3.4; 2). It's possible to Dump the single Presets from one unit to
another (refer to Dump procedure).
-Program Change commands send/receive:
1). Connect two DAXIDRIVE3.4; 2). When a Preset is recalled
on the first one, it's possible to send a Program Change command to the second one to recall the same Preset
number
(refer to Load Preset procedure).
19.OUTPUTS
These (Outputs1~6) are balanced XLR-M connectors. The high quality, low noise, 20 bit converters can make
A/D conversion.
20.INPUTS
INPUT A and INPUT B are compatible with balanced XLR and JACK. They are audio connectors of the respective
sections. The high quality, low noise, 20 bit converters can make A/D conversion.
The powerful versatile signal processor MAXIDRIVE3.4 is mainly designed for use with audio systems. Its routing con-
figurations of the input and output can be only set by recalling one of the PRESETS included in the internal memory.
So the user must be very clear about the main function of the unit in order to get a best operation of your MAXIDRIVE3.4.
Before you start your operation, please read the following parts carefully:
At first, switch off the equipment, carry out the audio and power connection from the various components of your
sound system.
Then, connect the main cord and only switch on the MAXIDRIVE3.4. The display will show the data regarding
with the operating system release for a few seconds.
