Activate Channels/Slots
Once the Transmit base Slot range has been selected, use DIP switch blocks SW1 and SW2 to activate up to 16
individual Slots in that range, which sends audio from the Yamaha console (or DME) into the Pro64 network.
No audio will flow from the Yamaha device into the Pro64 network unless the Slots are activated with these
switches.
Move a DIP switch to the up (on) position to activate it, sending audio into the Pro64 network. Remember that in
Auto Mode there can be only one channel assigned to each network Slot.
Individual channel/Slot activation allows the most flexibility; activate only the channels/Slots you need on each
6416Y2 card, leaving network Slot bandwidth available for other Pro64 devices in your network. A Pro64 network
is capable of having a virtually unlimited number of devices in it. While the number of devices is unlimited, the
bandwidth of the network itself is not.
Digital splits and copies of data within the Pro64 network are not subject to the 64 Slot maximum (at 44.1/48kHz);
an unlimited number of copies of the same data can be used in both analog and digital formats as needed.
In most cases, you’ll want the 6416Y2 card to run in Yamaha’s MY16 Mode, which provides 16 channels in and out
of the MY expansion slot at 48kHz. (This is set on switch block SW8 using DIP switch #10.)
