Foreword  
Precautions for Using a  
Rack-mounted DME Satellite  
If several DME Satellite units (or a DME Satellite unit to-  
gether with other devices) are installed in a poorly-ventilated  
rack, the heat generated by each unit may raise the tempera-  
ture inside the rack, preventing the DME Satellite from per-  
forming as designed. When mounting DME Satellite units  
in a rack, please leave one rack space vacant for every two  
units. You can attach a ventilation panel to this space or leave  
it open to prevent excessive heat build-up.  
If the temperature inside the rack is expected to rise above 40  
degrees Celsius or 104 degrees Fahrenheit (or if the ambient  
temperature outside the rack is expected to rise above 30 de-  
grees Celsius or 86 Fahrenheit), install a fan kit in the top  
3
row of the rack. The fan must provide airflow of 1.6m /min  
or more and static pressure of 5mmH O or more.

Introduction to the DME Satellite  
Audio System Network  
Multiple DME series units that are interconnected in a network via Ethernet function as a single audio system.  
In a DME audio system, a group of the same models that can be operated in sync is called a “device group;” audio  
processing divisions that accommodate multiple device groups are called “zones;” and the entire area serviced by  
the acoustic system is called an “area.”  
Each device group always includes one DME series unit that functions as the “group master” and controls all other  
DME series units in the same device group.  
If a computer is connected to the network, you can use the computer to control an entire device group via the  
group master.  
Glossary for the DME Satellite  
This section explains terminology specific to the DME Satellite.  
Components and parameters  
The individual audio processing modules (equalizers, compressors, etc.) are called “components.”  
External head amplifier control modules are also available as components.  
Changing the parameters of components enables control over the operation of the components.  
Configuration  
A “configuration” is a complete set of components for constructing an audio system.  
Each configuration determines the audio function(s) of the corresponding DME Satellite unit.  
All parameter sets included with each component in a configuration are called “preset parameters.”  
One DME Satellite unit has a number of configurations, and a configuration has a number of preset parameters.  
User Defined buttons (User Defined parameters)  
Assigning parameters to be User Defined parameters enables you to control the device from the ICP1 and the  
DME64N/DME24N.  
Refer to the DME Designer Owner’s Manual for details.

Introduction to the DME Satellite  
About DME Designer  
DME Designer software enables you to integrate, configure, and control the DME series system from a connected  
computer.  
You can build the DME series audio system using graphic blocks in DME Designer that are displayed on the com-  
puter monitor.  
The DME series settings, configuration, and parameter data are transferred from the computer to the DME series  
unit via the USB or Ethernet connection.  
DME series settings, configuration, and parameter data is sent via USB or Ethernet to the connected DME series  
unit. After the data is transmitted, you can disconnect the DME series unit from the computer and use it as an  
independent processor.  
You can also connect it to a computer and control it in realtime from DME Designer.  
If multiple DME series units are connected in the network, DME Designer enables you to build a configuration  
that includes those units.  
Please download the DME Designer application, driver, DME setup manual, and DME Designer owner’s manual  
at the following URL:  
Satellite. For details on how to install DME Designer and the drivers that are required for connection, refer to the  
“DME Setup Manual”.

Introduction to the DME Satellite  
About CobraNet  
CobraNet in a nutshell  
Developed by Cirrus Logic, Inc., U.S., CobraNet technology allows real-time uncompressed digital audio distri-  
bution over industry-standard Fast Ethernet (100 megabits/sec.) networks.  
Up to 128 channels, 64 in each direction, can be carried simultaneously over a CobraNet network.  
(The number of channels available depends on the performance of the devices and the condition of audio signals.)  
CobraNet currently supports a 48 or 96 kHz sampling rate with 16, 20, or 24-bit resolution.  
It can also transfer control data along with audio signals.  
The type of control data that the network can handle depends on the type of devices on the network.  
When an audio signal passes through the CobraNet network, it causes a fixed latency of 5.33 milliseconds (or,  
depending on the setting, 2.67 or 1.33 milliseconds).  
Visit the CobraNet home page for more information on CobraNet.  
CobraNet home page  
Bundle  
CobraNet network transmits digital audio data in bundles. When bundles are received, they are converted back  
into the original digital audio data.  
With the DME Satellite, a single bundle can carry up to eight channels of digital audio.  
For routing around the network, bundles are assigned numbers from 1 through 65,279. If you set the same bundle  
number on both transmitting and receiving devices, digital audio data can be transmitted over CobraNet network.  
There is no limitation to the number of bundles that can be transmitted and received over the CobraNet network,  
as long as there are enough network resources.  
The number of bundles that can be handled depends on the device.  
The DME Satellite can use up to 4 output bundles and up to 8 input bundles.  
You can specify the bundle number by using the DME Designer application.  
The maximum number of channels that can be assigned to each bundle is as follows.

Introduction to the DME Satellite  
Multicast and unicast bundles  
CobraNet bundles can be either multicast or unicast.  
Multicast bundles are transmitted from one device to multiple devices on the network (one-to-many). Unicast  
bundles are transmitted from one device to another (one-to-one).  
Unicast bundles are transmitted only when another device is configured to receive them by assigning the same  
bundle numbers. On the other hand, multicast bundles are transmitted to all devices on the network regardless of  
whether any devices are configured to receive them, and only devices that are configured to receive those bundles  
actually process them.  
It is recommended that no more than four multicast bundles (offering up to 32 channels) be used, since transmis-  
sion of multicast bundles consumes more network resources.  
Unicast bundles should be used if five or more bundles are required. It is also possible to set multiple devices to  
receive the same unicast bundle number, and depending on the transmitting device up to 4 receiving devices may  
be able to simultaneously receive the same bundle. This situation is known as “multi-unicast.” The DME Satellite  
is capable of handling multi-unicast bundles.  
Multicast and unicast bundles are identified by bundle number. Multicast bundles are numbered 1 through 255.  
Unicast bundles are numbered 256 through 65,279.

Introduction to the DME Satellite  
Conductors and performers  
One device on the CobraNet network works as the conductor (network sync master). All other CobraNet devices  
are performers (network sync slaves). Each device synchronizes its own internal clock to the beat packets (sync  
signals) transmitted by the conductor.  
The conductor device is chosen automatically and no user intervention is required.  
However, setting an appropriate conductor priority could enable users to assign any device as the conductor.  
Refer to the DME Designer Owner’s Manual for more information on setting the conductor priority.  
If the DME Satellite is the conductor, the [IN USE/CONDUCTOR] LED flashes orange.  
If the conductor fails, another device automatically takes over.  
Since the conductor transmits beat packets (sync signals) onto the network, each performer does not require an  
external word clock connection, reducing cabling complexity and cost.  
Any non-networked digital audio equipment should derive its word clock from a CobraNet networked device.  
NOTE  
All CobraNet networked devices, regardless of whether each device serves as the conductor or a performer, can receive digital  
audio data and control data.  
Cables and hubs for CobraNet network  
Category-5 metal cables can be used for runs of up to 100 meters. The maximum distance for multimode fiber  
optic cable is 2 kilometers.  
However, due to differences in cables, as well as switching hub and CobraNet device performance, proper opera-  
tion at the maximum length cannot be guaranteed in all cases.  
Always use switching hubs in a CobraNet network. When using metal cable for connections, be sure to use Cat-  
egory 5 straight cables.

6 CobraNet [PRIMARY]/[SECONDARY]  
Connectors  
The DME Satellite features two CobraNet connectors for  
built-in redundancy: one for a primary network connection,  
another for a secondary or backup connection. If for some  
reason the primary connection fails (e.g., a cable is damaged,  
inadvertently disconnected, or a switching hub fails), the sec-  
ondary connection automatically kicks in. Audio transmis-  
sion is momentarily interrupted, but the duration of  
interruption varies depending on the hub performance or  
settings, and the system configuration.  
NOTE  
You can check the CobraNet connection status by looking at  
the [IN USE/CONDUCTOR] and [LINK ACTIVITY]  
indicators. The indicators on both sides to the CobraNet  
connectors are turned off.

Connecting to a Computer  
USB Connection  
To connect multiple DME Satellite units to a network, you must assign appropriate IP addresses and make other  
network settings on all units. To achieve this, you need to connect the [USB] connector of one of the DME Sat-  
ellite units to the USB port of the computer using USB cables, install USB-MIDI Driver and DME Designer on  
the computer, then assign the IP addresses to the DME Satellite units from DME Designer.  
NOTE  
• Refer to the “DME Setup Manual” (PDF file) for details on installing USB-MIDI Driver and DME Designer.  
• Make sure that the USB-MIDI Driver’s THRU setting is “OFF.”  
USB connections can be used in the following three ways:  
(1) Set up the network (e.g., assign a unique IP address to each DME Satellite) from DME Designer.  
(2) Control the DME Satellite from DME Designer.  
(3) Connect to any individual DME Satellite and control that DME Satellite unit by transmitting MIDI com-  
mands from a MIDI sequencer or similar software.  
NOTE  
• When using a DME Satellite together with the DME64N/24N, you must assign the DME Satellite (including the DME8i-  
ES/DME8o-ES/DME4io-ES) as the master.  
• The computer on which DME Designer is running can be connected to either the group master or a slave DME series unit.  
• The correspondence between the MIDI commands to be received/transmitted and the scene parameters can be set up using  
DME Designer.  
• The USB port being used by DME Designer is not available for use by a MIDI sequencer or other application.

Network Settings  
Use DME Designer to specify the IP address, master/slave, and master ID settings as follows.  
Setting the IP address  
Network Address  
Host Address  
Each group of digits between periods in an IP address is called an “octet.” These groups of digits are called “1st  
octet,” “2nd octet,” etc., starting from the left-most digit group.  
You cannot specify 0, 127, or 223 through 255 for the 1st octet of the network address.  
You can specify the following range of values for the 4th octet.  
Master : 2-253  
Slave : 3-253  
NOTE  
• Subnet mask is fixed at 255.255.255.0.  
• The network address of Gateway is the same as that of IP address. The host address of Gateway is automatically set to 254.  
• Assign each of DME series units a unique IP address so that there are no duplicates. Assigning duplicate IP addresses may  
cause serious network problems.  
You cannot make any network settings while using the DME Designer application on-line. To make network settings, first  
set DME Designer off-line. Refer to the DME Designer Owner’s Manual for details.  
• If you have connected a PM5D and a DME Satellite via CobraNet and are controlling the DME Satellite from the PM5D,  
you must specify a value of 2 as the fourth octet of the group master DME Satellite’s IP address. However, if the PM5D is  
version 2.20 or higher and the DME Satellite is version 3.07 or higher, you can set the parameter to any number.  
Master and slave setting  
Each device group must have one master. All other devices in the group are assigned as slave.  
The fourth octet of a slave DME Satellite’s master ID must be the same value as the fourth octet of the group  
master DME Satellite’s IP address.  
NOTE  
When using a DME Satellite together with the DME64N/24N, you must assign the DME Satellite (including the DME8i-  
ES/DME8o-ES/DME4io-ES) as the master. If you assign the DME64N/24N as the device group master, you will be unable to  
synchronize using DME Designer.

You can connect devices in the same device group directly to each other using Ethernet cables, without connecting  
them to a switching hub. If they are DME Satellite units, you can use either crossover cables or straight cables. In  
this case, from DME Designer set Link Mode on both units to the same setting. Devices in different subnet (dif-  
ferent network address) groups can be connected via a router or layer-3 compliant switching hub.  
HINT  
Since the DME Satellite supports Auto MDI/MDI-X, it will automatically detect whether the connected cable is of the  
straight type or crossover type, and will configure itself to create the optimal connection. Therefore, you can use either a  
straight or crossover cable.

NOTE  
• The IP addresses in the diagram are examples.  
• Use a switching hub that is compatible with 100Base-TX/10Base-T network speeds.  
The maximum length of a cable between a switching hub and the DME Satellite is 100 meters. Due to the quality of cables  
and switching hub performance, however, proper operation at the maximum length cannot be guaranteed in some cases.  
Use a STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cable to prevent electromagnetic interference.  
• If you are using multiple DME series units, set Link Mode on each unit to the same setting. Yamaha recommends that you  
select 100Base-TX for the Link Mode setting.  
You can also connect a supported controller such as the AMX or Crestron, and control the DME Satellite remotely. For

When the “Program Change Rx Switch” is on, Program Change  
messages are received on the MIDI channel specified by the “MIDI  
Rx Channel” parameter.  
If the “Program Change Omni Switch” is also on, however, Pro-  
gram Change messages will be received on all MIDI channels re-  
gardless of the “MIDI Rx Channel” setting.  
When the “Control Change Rx Switch” is on, Control Change  
messages are received on the MIDI channel specified by the “MIDI  
Rx Channel” parameter.  
If the “Control Change Omni Switch” is also on, however, Control  
Change messages will be received on all MIDI channels regardless  
of the “MIDI Rx Channel” setting.  
Control Change parameter resolution is 128 regardless of the effec-  
tive range of the parameter.  
For finer settings use Parameter Change.  
When a Program Change message is received, the scene assigned to  
the received program number in the “MIDI Program Change Ta-  
ble” is recalled.  
Transmit  
When the “Control Change Tx Switch” is on and a parameter is ed-  
ited via DME Designer, appropriate Control Change data will be  
transmitted as specified by the “MIDI Control Change Table” and  
“MIDI Tx Channel” settings.  
Refer to “Supplementary Information 1” for cases in which multi-  
ple messages are assigned to a single parameter.

When the “Parameter Change Tx Switch” is On and a parameter is  
edited via DME Designer, appropriate Parameter Change data will  
be transmitted as specified by the “MIDI Parameter Change Table”  
and “MIDI Tx Channel” settings.  
Refer to “Supplementary Information 1” for cases in which multi-

Parameter Data values.  
Messages Transmitted When Multiple Messages are Assigned to  
the Same Parameter  
The DME8i-C/DME8o-C/DME4io-C MIDI transmit messages  
are specified via the “MIDI Control Change Table” and “MIDI Pa-  
rameter Change Table.”  
(The “MIDI Control Change Table” and “MIDI Parameter  
Change Table” can be set up via DME Designer.)  
Multiple messages can be assigned to a single parameter, but the  
DME8i-C/DME8o-C/DME4io-C will only transmit one of the as-  
signed messages.  
The transmitted messages are as follows:  
• If a Control Change message and a Parameter Change message  
are assigned to the same parameter

• A parity bit (positive:0, negative:1) is added above the most sig-  
nificant value bit (bit 31).  
• Fractional parameters will be converted according to the integer  
table.  
• For integers with parity, negative numbers are expressed as the  
2’s complement.
