Remote Audio Mixer Communication Setup
Use the Remote Audio Mixer Setup procedure to set up communication parameters with an audio
mixer.
When configured, a Remote Audio Mixer channel (or group of channels) will follow a crosspoint
when that button is selected and taken to air. Channels will be brought up as the crosspoint is taken to
air, and unused channels will be brought down on the same transition.
When an audio channel (or group) is assigned to a crosspoint, that channel can be controlled and
brought to air independently, without being associated with any video input. In this way, audio output
from microphones, audio servers, and other devices may be brought to air independent of video.
Remote Audio Mixer Setup
In order to properly set up your Remote Audio Mixer to be controlled from your Synergy 100
Switcher, you will have to connect the control cables from the switcher to the Audio Mixer and then
set up the communications protocols for the Audio Mixer on the peripheral port that you connected
the Audio Mixer to.
Connecting a Remote Audio Mixer
Use this procedure to connect the control cables from the switcher to the Remote Audio Mixer.
In order to properly complete this procedure you will need the following software options, cables, and
equipment:
• Small Audio Mixer Interface — This is the software option from Ross Video that
allows your Synergy 100 Switcher to control up to 16 audio channels on an audio mixer.
• MIDIator (MS-124W) — This device converts the serial interface from the Synergy
100 Switcher to a MIDI format.
• MIDIator Interface Cable — This is a null modem cable with a DB9 to DB25
converter at one end. This cable connected the 9-pin, D-Type Peripheral port on the
frame to the 25-pin, D-Type port on the MIDIator. Refer to the section “
MIDIator
Interface Cable Specifications ” on page 7–21 for information on this cable.
• MIDI Cable — This is a MIDI cable that connects the 5-pin, DIN port on the MIDIator
to the 5-pin, DIN port on the Remote Audio Mixer. You will need two of these cables.
The following diagram and procedure describe the physical connections of a Yamaha 01V96 Audio
Mixer to your Synergy 100 Switcher. The locations or names of ports may vary with your audio mixer.
Note
Refer to the section “ Options Menu ” on page 2–28 to ensure that the

Support for details.
Note The Small Audio Mixer Interface option must be installed in order to
