Overview 

This document provides a step-by-step explanation of the settings needed in order 
to control the DM1000 V2 from a video editor. To ensure smooth integration of the 
new functionality of DM1000 V2, refer to your owner’s manual as you follow the 
steps in this document to perform the necessary settings and tests. At some points 
in this process, you will need to verify or change settings in your video editor, so 
please locate the owner’s manual for your video editor and keep it at hand for 
reference before you begin. 
 

Functionality enabled by connecting the DM1000 V2 to your 
video editor 

If you connect the DM1000 V2 to your video editor and control the DM1000 from your 
video editor, you will be able to use functionality such as the following: 

 

Crossfade audio signals by operations such as Dissolve 

 

Monitor the audio signals when you switch or preview sources 

This functionality is controlled via the ESAM Serial II Protocol (ESAM II) - 
Extended protocol, which is designed to link the operation of video editors and 
mixers in a post-production environment. 
The audio signal crossfade functionality of the DM1000 V2 is implemented using 
the input channel level faders of the mixer block. While being controlled from the 
editor, the level will be as follows: 
 

Actual level = channel level x crossfade level (range of 0 dB to –

 dB) 

This is just as though a virtual crossfader located after the channel level fader were 
being controlled by the editor. In the owner’s manual, this crossfade level is 
referred to as the “ESAM FADER.” 

 
The monitor functionality sends the signal of the channel selected by the video 
editor’s preview or monitor function via the DM1000’s STEREO, BUS, or SOLO 
bus from CONTROL ROOM to the desired jacks (by default, the OMNI OUT 
11/12 jacks). The choice of bus and its operation will depend on the preview and 
monitor functionality of your video editor; modify the settings of your video editor 
so that the system will operate as desired.
