The Legacy Connection
The MM
™
-8802 includes additional connectivity that supports the original
MediaMatrix
®
DPU I/O interface. This 9-pin DB-9 connector, now known as
the “legacy” connector, is used with all previous hardware versions of
MediaMatrix products. (See page 25.)
Because the MM-8802 includes this connector, it is possible to use the MM-
8802 with MediaMatrix systems of any vintage. The port will connect
seamlessly with any MM DSP DPU card, or X-Frame
™
.
There are several issues to consider when implementing the MM-8802 on
older MediaMatrix hardware. New functionality included with the MM-
8802 will not be operable on MediaMatrix systems prior to release version
3.1.2. This includes the following:
The following features are still operable when using the MM-8802 with
legacy MediaMatrix systems:
It is very important to remember that when using the legacy connection, the
proprietary cable MUST be used. The presence of the 9- pin DB-9 connector
does not constitute using standard computer cables. The legacy cable, avail-
able only from Peavey Electronics, is the only supported method of connect-
ing the BoB to the MM DSP or X-Frame digital audio processor.
* NOTE: Although microphone level audio could theoretically be terminat-
ed to the MM-8802 using the MM-Mic 4 input module, this is not practical.
None of the controls included with the MM-Mic 4 are adjustable when
using the legacy software, therefore, the useability of this configuration is
extremely limited.
