6416Y2 as Control Master
On the front panel of the 6416Y2 card, DIP switch #12 is used to set the card as the network’s Control Master—
move it to the down position to make the 6416Y2 card the network’s Control Master. When the 6416Y2 card is
the Control Master, it is also automatically the network Clock Master, deriving the clock from the Yamaha host
device.

:
A 6416Y2 card set as the Control Master cannot provide m‑control at the same time.
Pro64 I/O Modules as Control Master
To use another type of Pro64 module as the Control Master, such as a 6416m Mic Input Module, set the appropriate
DIP switch on its rear panel to make it the Control Master. Make sure to set the 6416Y2 card for non‑control
operation (set DIP switch #12 up) if it was previously used as the Control Master.
When an external Pro64 I/O module is used as the Control Master, all Yamaha digital consoles and DME in the
system
must
be set to slave to the incoming clock from the Pro64 network. This is done on the DIO or Word Clock
page depending on the console being used.
Failing to set the Yamaha device(s) to slave to the incoming Pro64 network clock will cause clicks, pops,
and/or audio dropouts.
Set The Network Mode
Every Pro64 network has three operational modes. Auto Mode allows 64 active total channels at 48kHz, while
Manual Mode provides 64x64 channels. Managed Mode requires a computer for control, and is used for firmware
updates, etc.
The network mode is set on switch block SW9, and is only required to be set when a 6416Y2 card is used as a
Control Master. DIP switch #1 in block SW9 selects Auto Mode in the down position or Manual Mode in the up
position.

:
Manual Mode cannot be used when the network is managed by a PC using Pro64 Network Manager or
when AllFrame devices are part of the network.
