Device Description
Congratulations on your purchase of an YG2 / YS2 Optical Digital Mini - YGDAI Card. The YG2 / YS2 cards will
quickly convince you with their advantages and will facilitate your day-to-day work with Yamaha consoles and
devices such as the PM or DM series devices. YG2 / YS2 cards offer a broad flexibility in all sorts of temporary
and permanent applications, especially when long distance connections, high-quality audio transmission,
extremely low latency or high security is required.
The main card YG2 allows a direct connection of Yamaha consoles with the OPTOCORE ® OPTICAL DIGITAL
NETWORK SYSTEM. The YG2 card is capable to insert up to 64 audio channels IN and extract 64 audio
channels OUT of the Optocore network simultaneously. Inserted into the device slot the YG2 exchanges a
maximum of 16IN / 16OUT audio channels according to the Yamaha Mini - YGDAI standard with the device.
Additional YS2 sub cards can be inserted into the remaining slots. Connected to an YG2 card via CAT5 cables
using the RJ45 “SUB” port, the YS2 cards increase the number of audio channels available at the Yamaha device
up to 64IN / 64OUT (32IN / 32OUT @ 96kHz) per YG2 card. Each YS2 card also exchanges a maximum of 16IN /
16OUT audio channels according to the Yamaha Mini - YGDAI standard with the device.
YG2 and YS2 cards can be switched between 8/16-channel mode on the Mini - YGDAI slot via software. Up to 3
YS2 cards can be connected to an YG2 card in 16-channel mode, up to 7 YS2 cards in 8-channel mode. Please
refer to Chapter “Device Compatibility” for more information regarding the compatibility of your console or device.
A number of YG2 cards can be inserted into the slots of one device to extend the number of channels handed
over to the Optocore network, e.g. a maximum of 128IN and 128OUT by inserting two YG2 cards in an Yamaha
PM1D system.
The YG2 front panel offers several outstanding features:
•
Two LC-type optical interfaces for data transmission into the Optocore network and connection of any
Optocore device for instance the DD32R-FX, X6R-FX.
•
One RJ45 LAN port for connection of any standard 10/100MBit Ethernet device, transport of control
or any Ethernet compatible data via the Optocore network.
•
USB/RS232/Remote (D-Sub-9) port for remote control, software update, connection of external PC,
and 2 x RS422 e.g. for transport of Yamaha Remote Protocol to AD8HR by a link to the HA Remote
interface of the console.
•
Direct pick up of HA Remote signals from the console slot e.g. provided in Yamaha LS9 series.
•
One RJ45 SUB port for connection of additional YS2 cards.
The YS2 front panel includes:
•
RS232 port for upgrading via PC.
•
One RJ45 SUB port for connection of the MAIN port of additional YS2 cards via CAT5 cable.
•
One RJ45 MAIN port for connection of the SUB port of additional YS2 or YG2 cards via CAT5 cable
The YG2 / YS2 cards and any other Optocore device on stage e.g. X6R-FX linked by a fiber optical cable can
easily replace an analog multi-conductor cable, weighting only a fraction of a conventional copper cored one. In
‘Yamaha Mode’ the YG2 / YS2 cards allow the gain control of Optocore microphone preamps on stage, as X6R-
Series, using a Yamaha FOH digital console.
Due to SMD production the YG2 / YS2 cards fulfils the demand of highest digital standards. The FPGA (field
programmable gate array) based concept of the internal logic circuitry, permits updating of the hardware via the
units remote ports, ensuring continual state-of-the-art cards.
Through the USB or RS232 port of the YG2 card OPTOCORE CONTROL software can control the entire
Optocore network. OPTOCORE CONTROL software is used to change the configuration or define own settings. It
provides easy access to all configuration and control tools, including routing, naming, gain setting, and phantom
power activation for attached devices such as X6R-FX, storage and recall of configurations on the computer, off-
and online mode, real-time level display of the individual channels in online mode.
