Information regarding PM1D System Software V1.41

When using the PM1D system software V1.41, please keep in mind the following supplementary explanations.

●

From system software V1.3 onward, functionality was

added for automatic switching from ENGINE A to ENGINE

B in mirror mode. This will automatically switch the en-

gine from A to B when the following problems are detected.

This function automatically switches from engine A to B

if either of the following problems are detected.

1. Failure of engine A itself

2. Failure of the CONTROL I/O cable

However in order for this function to work correctly, the

following conditions must be met.

1. Engine A and engine B must both be connected cor-

rectly and functioning

2. The DIGITAL I/O cable must be connected

3. In addition, the entire system must be installed as de-

scribed in the operating manual

Please also be aware of the following cautionary notes re-

garding the automatic engine switching function.

1. Automatic switching from engine B to engine A will

not occur.

2. If a problem occurs in the CONTROL I/O cable, switch-

ing between engines A/B will take priority over switch-

ing between connectors 1/2.

3. If the power of engine A fails during operation, it will

take approximately one second for automatic switch-

ing to occur, engine B to be selected, and audio output

to begin.

(Sound will not be interrupted if the problem is only

in the CONTROL I/O cable.)

4. If there is a problem with connections when the con-

sole is powered-on, the automatic switching may not

occur in some cases. You will need to switch manually

as needed.

Addition explanation for PREVIEW mode

●

PREVIEW mode lets you view the scene settings that have

been stored by scene memory operations on the CS1D.

The various parameters in PREVIEW mode indicate the

current state of the signal processing.

If one unit is connected to more than one engine, and you

select PREVIEW mode for the system connected to the

engine not specified for the control port, you will not be

able to operate GAIN GANG or A/B LINK.

Regarding the software version printed in the

manuals

●

All manual references to PM1D system software “version

1.0” should be read as “version 1.41”.

●

The PC connection will be denied for reasons of safety if

the “PM1D Manager for Windows” application software

is a different version than the system version of the PM1D

itself. You must use the software from the same CD-ROM

to ensure that the versions match.

Note regarding file compatibility

●

Files that you created using system software V1.41 cannot

be loaded into a system that is running system software

V1.3 or earlier. Data that you created using system soft-

ware V1.3 or earlier can be loaded into system software

V1.41. In this case, memories related to functions that were

added in 1.41 will be the same as the factory setting.

The following issues concern timecode events,

and should be read in conjunction with page

33 of the CS1D Reference Manual (Software).

●

When registering several events close together, up to five

events can be safely registered within any three second pe-

riod. If you register six or more events, the sixth and sub-

sequent events may not be recalled properly.

●

Since it takes a few seconds to chase the time code, events

are typically executed three seconds after the time code

begins running. Therefore, you must start the time code

at least three seconds before any events that you want to

execute. Note also that scenes cannot be recalled manu-

ally during this three-second period.

●

Events in the time code event list are executed only once

during each time code pass.

●

Since time code events set to INC or DEC are executed

relative to the scene number selected when the time code

first begins running, they are not affected by scene recalls

performed by other means that occur once the time code

is up and running.

●

If a scene is recalled via the time code event list while a

scene recall by some other means is being processed, the

scene recall will be executed once the first recall operation

is complete. However, if a scene recall by some other means

occurs while a scene recall via the time code event list is

being processed, the second recall may sometimes fail.

●

Time code events can be executed on the console even

without a ENGINE connected so long as TC IN SELECT

is set to either [INT GEN] or [CONSOLE]. The FADE

TIME function, however, will not operate.

●

RECALL UNDO cannot be used to undo scenes recalled

via the time code event list.

The following issues concern Mirror mode, and

should be read in conjunction with page 10 of

the CS1D Operation Manual (Start-up).

●

Reliable operation cannot be guaranteed if Engine A and

Engine B are connected differently.

●

The C port of the AI8 analog input unit cannot be used.
