03D VEK Startup Guide

- Video Edit Suite Software After you install the software, turn the power to the 03D off and then on, and press the [UTILITY] button.
Under the HOST INTERFACE parameter, select the EDITOR switch that has been added to the regular software version to enable the TO EDITOR port on the rear panel.
When you select the EDITOR switch, all automix data will be lost. If you wish to back up data, cancel this operation. If you do not need to keep the automix data, move the cursor to the OK switch and press the [ENTER] button. ROLL LIB. or TO EDITOR SETUP MEMORY will utilize the area where the automix data was stored.
Set the TO EDITOR parameter to ENABLE so that the 03D will be controlled by ESAMII commands.
- Video Edit Suite Software The FRAME TYPE parameter is used to calculate the transition time. The PARITY FLAG parameter is used for transmitting and receiving ESAMII commands. Make sure that this setting is the same as that on the editor. Otherwise, the 03D will not respond to the commands. The User Define page contains a set of convenient functions that can be used when you control the 03D. If you assign these functions to the User Define keys, you will be able to set the functions without recalling the corresponding screens. Setting up a system that includes two playback VTRs and one recording VTR. Input audio signals from the playback VTR1 to channels 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the 03D.
Input audio signals from the playback VTR2 to channels 5, 6, 7, and 8 of the 03D.
Route BUS OUT 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the 03D to the recording VTR, and route the return signals from the recording VTR to channels 9, 10, 11, and 12 of the 03D. Mark the recording VTR so that it will be recognized as a recording machine. The channels of the marked machine will be automatically removed from the BUS 1, 2, 3, and 4 assignment to avoid signal looping. The level of these channels cannot be controlled from the editor and the level faders
- Video Edit Suite Software Assign channels 1, 2, 3, and 4 to BUS 1, 2, 3, and 4 to output signals from channel to bus.
Assign channels 5, 6, 7, and 8 to BUS 1, 2, 3, and 4.
You can also view this setting on the PAN/ROUTING page. As you can see, the FROM ASSIGN setting is now reflected on the routing. If you assign channels on this page, the setting will be reflected on the FROM ASSIGN setting.
Cancel the assignment of the playback VTR 1 and 2 inputs to the ST bus. Since the return signals from the recording VTR will be monitored, assign channels 9, 10, 11, and 12 (the return channels from the recording VTR) to the ST bus.
- Video Edit Suite Software With all these settings, monitoring signals become monaural even if the source is in stereo. If you are monitoring the AFL (After Fader Listen) signals, you can set PAN to hard left and hard right. However, if you are monitoring the PFL (Pre Fader Listen) signals, you cannot monitor the signals in stereo. If the source is in stereo, you need to configure stereo pairs of input channels and buses before you perform bus assignment.
Configure stereo pairs of channels 1 and 2, channels 5 and 6, channels 7 and 8, channels 9 and 10, channels 11 and 12, BUS 1 and 2, and BUS 3 and 4.
Select RESET BOTH to configure a stereo pair. You could select "BUS1->2" or "BUS2->1" if you prefer, but RESET BOTH is more desirable especially when you wish to initialize the previous settings.
Make parameter settings on the From-To page as follows:
- Video Edit Suite Software Since the channels and buses are configured as stereo pairs now, both channels 1 and 2 will be assigned to BUS 1 and 2. For this reason, you need to set PAN to L and R.
Before selecting a VTR from the editor, the machines recognized by the editor should match those recognized by the 03D. Typically, use the "Mixer Cross Point Setting" on the editor. Machine names A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H used on the 03D correspond to 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, and 08. The machine marked REC on the 03D corresponds to 00. The 03D has a fixed machine number. Therefore, adjust the number on the editor so that it matches the 03D machine number. Refer to the manual that came with the editor for more information on setting the numbers on the editor.

Introduction

Welcome
Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha 03D Video Edit Suite Software. With support for the ESAM II editor protocol, the 03D Video Edit Suite software turns the 03D Digital Mixing Console into a full-feature digital audio mixer for video post-pro.

Features

Audio signals can be mixed and edited along with the video editing. With support for ESAM II, the 03D works like a video switcher for audio, allowing remote transition previews from a video editor. Several extended functions of the ESAM II protocol including remote fader level control have been employed. 03D data can be downloaded or uploaded to the video editor for centralized data management. Phase reverse, input delay up to approximately six frames (with 1/4 frame accuracy), 4-band parametric EQ, dynamics, and effects for exible audio mixing and audio sweetening. The 03D does not require extra hardware, such as boards and ports. A 9-pin TO EDITOR port comes as standard. Channels can be assigned to the 03Ds four bus outputs as FROM sources and TO sources, allowing for dissolve transitions. Crossfades can be performed using one of seven crossfade patterns, which can be set individually for each channel, and three curve slopes, which can be applied to all channels globally. The 03Ds motorized faders allow for accurate level adjustments and precisely reect input level settings. In FROM-TO mode, faders reect transition levels. Preview sources can be selected for monitoring, and CHANNEL and BUS modes allow individual channel monitoring or bus monitoring.

About the Video Edit Suite Software

ESAM II

The 03D Video Edit Suite supports only ESAM (Editing Suite Audio Mixers) Serial II Protocol-Extended. See page 28 for a list of supported commands.
Video Edit Suite Functions
This sections lists the new functions provided by the 03D Video Edit Suite software.

Crossfade

Crossfades can be performed over the number of frames specied by the ESAM II commands sent from the editor. ESAM II allows you to specify from between 0 to 32,767 frames in single frame steps (1,365 seconds at 24 frames/second). The maximum frame value depends on the editor being used. Audio control accuracy is within one frame (only when no other 03D functions are being used).

Local Switch

Using Local mode, which works only when the CH 116 or 1724/Stin pages are displayed, the channel [SEL] buttons can be used to set channels to ignore incoming ESAM II commands. When a [SEL] buttons indicator is off, that channel responds to incoming ESAM II commands. When its ashing, the channel is in Local mode and ignores ESAM II commands. See CH 1-16 & 17-24/Stin Pages on page 21 for more information.

Inputs 9-16/17-24 Swap

Analog inputs 9 to 16 and digital inputs 17 to 24 can be swapped so that the analog inputs appears as channels 17 to 24 and the digital inputs appear as channel 9 to 16. This allows you to control signals from the digital inputs without pressing the [MIXING LAYER] button. The SWAP CH option is on the Prefer. page. See Prefer. Page on page 22 for more information.

New EQ Programs

The following three programs have been added to the end of the EQ library. 80. 60 Hz hum removal 79. 50 Hz hum removal 78. High-range white noise (i.e., tape hiss) removal using LPF After installing the Video Edit Suite software, you must initialize all memories to access the new EQ programs. See EQ Library Page on page 26 for more information.

New Effects Programs

The following three programs have been added to the end of the effects library. 96. Echo Reverb 95. FEMALE Pitch 94. MALE Pitch After installing the Video Edit Suite software, you must initialize all memories to access the new effects programs. See Effects Library Page on page 26 for more information.

Activating the TO EDITOR Port
After installing the 03D Video Edit Suite software, the HOST INTERFACE setting on the MIDI/HOST page must be set to EDITOR in order to use the TO EDITOR port.
All automix data will be lost when the HOST INTERFACE parameter on the MIDI/HOST page is changed from STAND. or MULTI. to EDITOR, so back up your important data using MIDI Bulk Dump before changing. Refer to the 03D Owners Manual for details. Similarly, Video Edit Suite settings and roll library memory data will be lost when the EDITOR setting is changed back to either STAND. or MULTI.
1. Use the [UTILITY] button to locate the MIDI/HOST page shown below.
2. Use the cursor buttons to select the EDITOR switch under HOST INTERFACE, and then press the [ENTER] button. The following dialog box appears.
This dialog box appears when changing from EDITOR to STAND.
3. Select the OK switch, and then press the [ENTER] button. The MIDI/HOST page shown below appears. The Fader Start and MMC parameters from the regular MIDI/HOST page can be found on the MIDI Setup page.

The 03D is now ready for use with a video editor.
Functions that Cannot Be Used when the TO EDITOR Port is Active
When the TO EDITOR port is active, the following 03D functions are disabled: AutomixThe automix function is disabled, and the automix pages are replaced with video edit suite-related pages. All automix data will be lost when the 03D Video Edit Suite software is activated, so back up your important data using MIDI Bulk Dump before activating. Refer to the 03D Owners Manual for details. Channel delay ECHO and SLAPOn the Channel Delay function, the SLAP and ECHO options are disabled. Basic DELAY is still available. Surround panThe Surround Pan function is disabled, and the Pan mode is set to regular STEREO. Flashing MIXING LAYER indicatorThe MIXING LAYER indicator does not ash when mixing layer 17-24/MASTER is selected. The red indicator just remains lit. SOLO TRIMThe SOLO TRIM control on the Solo Setup page cannot be used. MONI TRIMThe MONI TRIM control on the Moni. Setup page cannot be used.

How it works

Channel level adjustments are performed using the channel fader. Crossfades are performed by the ESAM fader, which appears after the channel fader. The input level is controlled by the INPUT LEVEL ADJUST control. Both controls are shown in the following illustration.
INPUT LEVEL ADJUST & ADJUST ON/OFF
ESAM FADER & LOCAL ON/OFF ON OFF
OFF ON Delay 4Band PEQ Dynamics ON

CH Fader

Input channels 124

To AUX (pre)

To AUX (post)
When the TO EDITOR parameter is set to ENABLE and the 03D is being remotely controlled by an editor, the channel send level is controlled by the CH fader and ESAM fader. ESAM faders on channels specied using the FROM command are set to nominal (0 dB). ESAM faders on channels specied using the TO command are set to the LIMIT LEVEL (usually minus innity). After a crossfade, FROM command channels are set to the LIMIT LEVEL, while TO command channels are set to nominal (0 dB). When the TO EDITOR parameter is set to DISABLE, the 03D operates as normal (i.e., ESAM II commands are ignored). Likewise, a channel in Local mode (i.e., the LOCAL ON/OFF switch in the ON position) operates as normal, ignoring ESAM II commands. Local mode is engaged using the [SEL] buttons, but works only when the CH 116 or 1724/Stin pages are displayed. The following illustration shows a channel in Local mode (or with the TO EDITOR parameter set to DISABLE).

Operating Notes

The editor should be congured so that the recording machine can be monitored. Typically, the editor will be set to EE mode (Electric-to-Electric). When the 03Ds output delay is used, it functions as a predelay and the sound will not be synchronized with the video. When input channels or bus outputs are congured as stereo pairs, set the corresponding pan controls hard left and hard right (note there is a 3 dB signal gain in this condition). To output digital bus signals via the ST DIGITAL OUT connection, use the BUS TO ST function.

Quick Start

This chapter explains how to get up and running with the 03D Video Edit Suite software.
1. On the MIDI/HOST page, set the HOST INTERFACE to EDITOR. See MIDI/HOST Page on page 14 for more information. 2. Set the TO EDITOR parameter to ENABLE. See MIDI/HOST Page on page 14 for more information. 3. Set the FRAME TYPE (ND, DF, 25, or 24). See MIDI/HOST Page on page 14 for more information. 4. Set the PARITY FLAG (usually EVEN, although editors such as the Ampex ACE200 require ODD). See MIDI/HOST Page on page 14 for more information. 5. Set the FADER MODE (ABSOLUTE or FROM-TO). See MIDI/HOST Page on page 14 for more information. 6. Congure channels connected to stereo sources as stereo pairs, and pan the left channel hard left and the right channel hard right. 7. If the outputs are stereo, congure them as stereo pairs. 8. On the Machine page, assign input channels to machines and set the REC machine. See Machine Page (Cross Point Setting) on page 16 for more information. 9. Make sure that channels assigned to play machines are not routed to the Stereo bus. Only the REC machine channels should be routed to the Stereo bus. 10. On the ROUTING or From-To page, assign channels to buses. See From-To Page on page 20 for more information. 11. Set the input levels. 12. Select crossfade patterns and curves. See CrossFade Page on page 16 for more information. 13. The 03D is now ready to be controlled by the editor.

Display Pages

MIDI/HOST Page
This section explains the parameters on the MIDI/HOST page shown below. Use the [UTILITY] button to locate this page.
HOST INTERFACEThe STAND. and MULTI. switches under HOST INTERFACE are the same as the STANDARD I/F and MULTIPORT switches on the regular 03D. The EDITOR switch is used to activate the TO EDITOR port for use with a video editor. TO EDITOR SETUP MEMORYThree setup memories are available for storing settings related to the TO EDITOR port. When the memory contents match the current settings, these switches are grayed out. When a parameter setting is changed, the RECALL and STORE switches can be used to recall the stored settings or store the new settings. The following parameters are stored in these memories: FRAME TYPE, PARITY FLAG, FADER MODE, INPUT LEVEL ADJUST OUTPUT level, and SOURCE/MACHINE ASSIGN settings. INPUT LEVEL ADJUSTThe OUTPUT level control determines the send level when the fader is set to nominal (0 dB), and can be set from 48 dB to 0 dB in 1 dB steps. The input level of the selected channel can be set manually or automatically so that the channel level matches the specied output level. This setting is based on the assumption that the level will not be changed using the faders, pan, EQ, or dynamics. By reading the level of the test tone at the beginning of a reel (tape), the gain can be set automatically so that the nominal level set by the user corresponds to the output level. The adjustable range is from 18 dB to +18 dB in 0.5 dB steps. If the level exceeds this range and cannot be controlled, a warning message appears. For channels congured as a stereo pair, only the left channel is used for level sensing. The level determined for the left channel is also applied to the right channel. Due to circuitry limitations, the levels may vary between channels. To automatically set the level for a channel, select the channel, use the cursor buttons to select the AUTO switch, and then press the [ENTER] button. To manually set the level for a channel, select the channel, use the cursor buttons to select the MANUAL control, and then use the PARAMETER wheel. When a channel level is set either manually or automatically, the corresponding Adjust On/Off switch on the CH 116 or 1724/Stin pages appears highlighted. TO EDITORThis parameter is used to enable and disable the TO EDITOR port, and must be set to ENABLE for the 03D to respond to incoming ESAM II commands. Commands are ignored when this is set to DISABLE. FRAME TYPEThis parameter should be set to match the frame rate of the video. Options are: ND (30 frames), DF (29.97 frames), 25 (25 frames), and 24 (24 frames). The 03D uses this setting to calculate fade and delay times specied in frames.

PARITY FLAGThis parameter should be set to match the parity requirements of the editor. Options are: EVEN, ODD, and NONE. The default being EVEN. FADER MODEThis parameter determines how 03D faders operate when ESAM II commands are received. In ABSOLUTE mode, faders indicate channel fader positions and do not move when ESAM II commands change levels using the ESAM faders. In this mode, faders can still be used to make manual level adjustments, a common feature of ESAM mixers. In FROM-TO mode, faders indicate ESAM fader levels and move when ESAM II commands change channel levels using the ESAM faders. FROM source faders move to the LIMIT LEVEL, usually minus innity, and TO source faders move to the specied input level. In this mode, faders cannot be used to make manual level adjustments. Faders move only when an ESAM-related page is displayed (i.e., Machine, CrossFade, From-To, CH 1-16, or 17-24/Stin).
Machine Page (Cross Point Setting)
This section explains the parameters on the Machine page shown below. Use the [AUTOMIX] button to locate this page.
The Machine page is used to assign input channels to machines, and up to eight machines from A to H are available. Input channels can be assigned in two or four-channel groups and cannot be assigned to more than one machine. Machine A corresponds to Cross Point 1, Machine B to Cross Point 2, and so on through to Machine H which corresponds to Cross Point 8. The channel set as REC, however, also corresponds to Cross Point 0. For example, in the Machine page shown above, input channels 1, 2, 3, and 4 are controlled by commands for Cross Point 1 (Machine A), and also controlled by commands for Cross Point 0 since REC is selected. On a typical editor, the machine number of the ESAM II command is determined by the cross point settings. Settings on the Machine page are effective only when ESAM II machine commands are received. Typically, they are ineffective when individual channel control using source commands is used, although this may vary between editors. Refer to the editors manual for more information. To assign channels to a machine, use the cursor buttons to select a machine from A to H, and the [SEL] buttons to add and remove channels. Channels cannot be assigned to more than one machine, and the ST IN channel can be assigned only to the ST IN machine. To set the REC machine, use the cursor buttons to select a machine from A to H, and then press the [ENTER] button.

CrossFade Page

This section explains the parameters on the CrossFade page shown below. Use the [AUTOMIX] button to locate this page.
The CrossFade page is used to select crossfade patterns for channels individually, and seven different patterns are available. When channels are paired, both use the same pattern. In addition to patterns, one of three curves (A, B, C) can be applied to channels globally.
To select a pattern, use the [SEL] buttons to select a channel, and then use the PARAMETER wheel to select a pattern. Below the pattern for each channel is a LIMIT LEVEL parameter, which is the target level for FROM settings, or the start level for TO settings, when a fader is set to 0 dB. The actual level is the input fader level minus the LIMIT LEVEL, which has a range from 0 to minus innity.
Crossfade Patterns 1 to 7
TD (Transition Duration) in frames

TO Time

Crossfade Curves A, B, C
Curves (A, B, C) do not apply to patterns with a simple in/out level cut. In these cases, the level changes within one frame. In the following examples the LIMIT LEVEL is set to minus innity.

TD 0 dB 6 dB

0 dB 3 dB

13 dB dB

When curve type B is selected, the Machine page appears as follows.
When curve type C is selected, the Machine page appears as follows.

From-To Page

This section explains the parameters on the From-To page shown below. Use the [AUTOMIX] button to locate this page.
The From-To page is used to monitor transitions from one source to another, and can also be used to assign FROM and TO channels to bus outs 1 to 4. When a Transition Start command is received, the ESAM fader on FROM channels is set to the LIMIT LEVEL, while the ESAM fader on TO channels is set to 0 dB. When the transition is complete, FROM channels become TO channels, and TO channels become FROM channels. To assign channels to bus outs, use the cursor buttons to select bus outs in the FROM ASSIGN and TO ASSIGN windows, and the [SEL] buttons to add and remove channels. Assignments made on this page are reected on the [PAN/ROUTING] Pan 1-16 and Pan 17-24 pages. Likewise, assignments made on the [PAN/ROUTING] Pan 1-16 and Pan 17-24 pages are reected on this page. Typically, Cross Point settings are made on the editor, otherwise, operation may not be correct. Channels and bus outs congured as stereo pairs are assigned simultaneously. Effects returns 1 and 2 are assigned automatically to both FROM and TO.

CH 1-16 & 17-24/Stin Pages
This section explains the parameters on the CH 1-16 and 17-24/Stin pages shown below. Use the [AUTOMIX] button to locate these pages.
The CH 1-16 and 17-24/Stin pages contain individual channel on/off switches for channel delay (DLY), dynamics (DYN), EQ, and auto level adjust (A). The rotary controls show the actual send levels. The value below these controls indicates the level of the channel fader. When either of these pages are selected, the [SEL] buttons work as Local on/off buttons. When a [SEL] buttons indicator is off, that channel responds to incoming ESAM II commands. When its ashing, the channel is in Local mode and ignores ESAM II commands. The ROLL LIB. (library) allows you to store and recall channel information for each machine (i.e., roll or tape). Up to 100 memories (0 to 99) are available in the ROLL library (memory 0 is recall-only), and the following parameters can be stored: Channel settings that can be stored in channel library programs Crossfade curve settings LIMIT LEVEL setting Level set using LEVEL ADJUST ADJUST on/off To store channel information, select a MACHINE, select a memory, and then press the STORE switch. The settings of channels assigned to the selected machine will be stored (maximum of four channels). To recall channel information, select a MACHINE, select a memory, and then press the RECALL switch. If the number of stored channels and the number of recalled channels are different, the following applies: If a memory containing data for four channels is recalled to a machine assigned to two channels, the data from the rst two channels is used. If a memory containing data for two channels is recalled to a machine assigned to four channels, the data from the rst two channels is recalled twice.

Monitor Page

This section explains the parameters on the Monitor page shown below. Use the [VIEW] button to locate this page.
The Monitor page allows you to monitor fader positions, which are indicated using vertical bars. Below these are exact fader positions. If a bar is not solid, it means that the channel is assigned as a TO channel, or not assigned to either TO or FROM. When a transition occurs, a hollow area inside the bar increases for FROM channels, and the solid area increases for TO channels.

1. Read commands allow the editor to check the condition of the 03D (values in hex). 2. Write commands allow the editor to change the condition of the 03D, and allow for replies to the read commands from the editor (values in hex).
While a transition is in progress, commands other than All Stop are ignored. When transmitting several commands, each should be separated by a one frame interval.
