Yamaha Digital Audio Mixing System PM1D

Artist1D is an optical interface for the PM1D Digital Audio Mixing System. It was developed and manufactured by RIEDEL in collaboration with YAMAHA. Using fiber-optic cable, Artist1D can transmit audio and control signals bidirectionally between DSP1D (the DSP engine of PM1D) and CS1D (the control surface). The use of fiber-optic cable allows for a range of up to 500m when sending and receiving audio signals. It is possible to manage up to 80 channels with various controls. High reliability is also realized by various means including the use of AUX fiber-optic cable and compatibility with PM1D's mirror mode.

Artist1D units placed at FOH and stage positions. Using fiber-optic cable, these units can transfer audio and control signals between CS1D and DSP1D.

The Artist1D system consists of two units: one located by CS1D (the control surface), the other located by DSP1D (the DSP-engine). These units are connected by duplex LC fiber cable. Using Artist1D, the burden of transporting cables is reduced. Wiring can also be performed with ease. When connected by fiber-optic cable, the two Artist1D units can be placed up to 500m apart.

Bidirectionally-transmitted PM1D audio signals can consist of up to 160 channels

Using fiber-optic cable, up to 80 channels can be transmitted in each direction (send / receive) for a total of 160 channels in original PM1D format. Artist1D also comes equipped with a 68-pin female D-sub half-pitch input connector and equivalent output connector. These are compatible with AI8 analog input boxes, AO8 analog output boxes and DIO8 digital input/output boxes. These are I/O devices that can be easily connected to PM1D.

Long-distance, bidirectional transmission of CS1D/DSP1D, RS232 and word clock control data

Artist1D not only allows bidirectional transmission of audio data. It also allows for transmission of control data between CS1D, DSP1D and I/O units. Long-distance transmission can also be performed in a similar manner for RS232. The PC normally connected to the RS232 terminal of DSP1D can be connected to the RS232 terminal of the Artist1D unit closer to CS1D.The Word clock can also be transmitted via the fiber optic cable. Artist1D can function as a word clock master or slave.

High reliability of Aux fiber optic output, mirror-mode compatibility and dual power supply

In order to provide solid reliability, Artist1D has available two lines of Main and Aux for fiber optic connection. In the event of an accident to one of the cables, transmission will automatically be switched to the other. The use of 2 Artist1D sets allows for mirror-mode compatibility with PM1D for complete redundancy. In addition, Artist1D is equipped with two power supply terminals on the side as standard for redundancy of not only signals but also the power as well.

Compact 1U-size body for easy installation / transportation with numerous indicators and wide range of terminals

The compact 1U-size body allows easy installation and transportation and brings many advantages for use in facilities, live concert tours, etc. The front panel is built with indicators superior in visibility that clearly indicate the operations of Audio Send/Receive, Control Send/Receive, Status of Sync, Network and Warning for easy monitoring of connection status and operation.The I/O section of the rear panel is built with LC type fiber-connectors, word clock input /output, a 68-pin female D-Sub half-pitch connector for connection to I/O-units, DSP1D and CSP1D, and two pairs of BNC sockets for duplex transmission of remote control data between Artist1D and CS1D. In addition, serial port (9pin D-sub male) provides a transparent RS-232 connection between Artist1D units via fiber link.
