The block diagram shows the sig-
nal flow in a HDSP MADI-based
remote control system. MIDI com-
mands from a software on PC or
Mac travel from the MADI Out of
the HDSP MADI to the MADI In as
well as to the MIDI Out and MADI
Out of the DMC-842.
Additional to the remote com-
mands further MIDI data can be
transmitted, available then at the
DIN MIDI output jack of the DMC-
842. However, MIDI signals at the
DIN input jack can not travel back
to the computer. With input setting
MIDI the other direction is active.
MIDI data travel from the MADI out to the computer, but not back from the computer via MADI
to the DMC-842.
12.3 Remote Control Software
The included Windows software DMC-Control can use any existing MIDI port within the system
to perform remote control and status requests of any number of DMC-842s via a simple mouse
click. The latest version of the program can be downloaded for free from the RME website. Most
appealing is the combination with a HDSP(e) MADI (PCI card), offering a direct control of the
DMC-842 via MADI. The remote control software then uses a virtual MIDI port of the card (port
3), which directly sends and receives MIDI data via MADI (see above).

Brief description of the Windows Software DMC-Control
The program requires Microsoft .NET Framework version 2.0 or higher to be installed on the
computer. Is ths not the case it will be installed automatically from the CD.
The program is self-explanatory and very easy to use. It manages up to 8 DMC-842 simultane-
ously. Names can be assigned to all channels and all devices. DMC-Control not only offers a
remote-access to all front panel settings, but also a comfortable configuration of the Setup
menu, and direct access to the AES42 features of the connected microphones.
After the start first select a MIDI input and output which is connected to the DMC-842, via
Op-
tions - MIDI I/O Setup
.
Using the
Online
button the communication with the DMC-842 is started. The bottom line of the
program window shows the current state, like MIDI ports, Online / No Response / Offline etc.
