[. . . ] To connect another device to the female IEC power receptacle, you need a power cord with a male IEC power connector on one end, and a female IEC power connector on the other end. SERIAL 9 PIN This DB9 connector is an RS-422 port that supports the Sony® 9-Pin device protocol. It is configured to operate as a controller, so it should be connected to a device (DEV) that is configured to be controlled by a controller (CONT). This is used primarily to transmit tape transport commands from the Digital X Bus to a recorder. 11. MIDI IN and OUT These standard MIDI connectors (female 5-pin DIN) can be used to send or receive MIDI Time Code (MTC) and MIDI Machine Control (MMC) when connecting to equipment with transport controls and a position display. USB ETHERNET MIDI IN MIDI OUT SERIAL 9-PIN FOOT SWITCH 1 2 1 V 9amp 60Hz 15V 9 p6 230V 4. 5amp 50Hz V 4. 5 p5 1100W Max 1100W M 6 X. 200 Quick-Start Guide 15. When the POWER switch is turned ON, power is supplied to the Digital X Bus and it boots up. When turning off the Digital X Bus, you should select Shutdown from the File menu. At the end of the shutdown procedure, the touchscreens go blank, indicating that it is okay to turn off the power switch. 16. Mouse This 6-pin miniDIN connector is used to connect a PS/2-style mouse. 17. Keyboard This 6-pin miniDIN connector is used to connect a PS/2-style keyboard. 18. USB These are four additional USB ports for connecting more USB devices to the Digital X Bus. If you are connecting a USB CD-ROM drive, use one of these ports rather than the USB ports on the rear panel (13). More Connections There are even more connections available behind the removable panel on the back of the Digital X Bus, which we call the Motherboard Access Area. These are connections to the motherboard, and include four additional USB connections, and the PS/2-style mouse and keyboard connections. First, turn off the Digital X Bus (select File > Shutdown and then turn off the power switch). Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the eight screws securing the panel to the chassis. MOUSE KEYBOARD USB PORTS Quick-Start Guide 7 Digital X Bus Operational Basics Are you ready to get started?Let's turn on the Digital X Bus and go over some of the general operational features before we start passing audio through it. About V-Pot Controls Just below the touchscreens are a row of rotary controls called V-Pots, which is short for virtual potentiometer. Again, unlike an analog console where a rotary pot can control one function, a digital console allows you to assign a V-Pot to many different functions. Using the buttons to the right of the touchscreens, you can assign the V-Pots to control the following functions: PAN L/R (Left/Right) PAN F/B (Front/Back, for surround sound) AUX 1-8 Send AUX 9/10 and 11/12 Send AUX 9/10 and 11/12 PAN Digital TRIM LEVEL TO TAPE When one of the above buttons is selected (lit), all 24 V-Pots control that function for each of the 24 channels in the selected bank. What would take 384 controls on an analog console can be done with 24 controls and 16 buttons on the Digital X Bus! CUE 1 9-10 Turning on the Digital X Bus Connect the supplied power cord to the male IEC connector on the rear panel. Plug the other end of the power cord into an outlet properly configured for the voltage indicated on your particular model. The faders start moving and the Digital X Bus loads its software into memory. When the screens display the channels strips, you're ready to go. CUE 2 11-12 PAN PAN MIC TRIM LINE LEVEL TO TAPE About Fader Banks If you have used a digital console before, then you are probably familiar with the concept of fader banks.
