TMC-1-DMon User guide
This document only describes the Ethernet connections of the TMC-1 and any differences in
operation. Please refer to the TMC-1 Reference which is available from the TMC-1-DMon
Web Page.
http://www.colinbroad.com/cbsoft/tmc1/tmc1dmon.html
Ethernet Connection
The TMC-1 communicates to the D-Mon via Ethernet, when connected to the network it will
discover any connected D-Mon’s and display them. f it has been paired with a D-Mon and
recognised the Serial number it will select the paired D-Mon.
To check the Ethernet connection depress [Select] and [Page] together to enable the Page
select menu. From the Page select menu depress the [E-Net] key to display the D-Mon
pages. Use the [<] and [>] keys to step through.
Note 1: The current version of the D-Mon software does not support discovery on different
sub-nets, the D-Mon and TMC-1 must be on the same subnet address. You can set the TMC-1
P Address using Midiupd or TMC-1-mac/win programs.
Note 2: The TMC-1 now supports DHCP, the default P of the TMC-1 is 169.254.149.250. f not
using a DHCP Server you can change the P Address of the TMC-1 using the TMC-1 or
Midiupd Mac/Windows programs.
Note 3: The D-Mon serial number is unique to each unit and is used to define the destination
instead of the P address.

D-Mon Engineer Headphone Source Selection
The engineers Headphone output allows the engineer to monitor different inputs and outputs
without disturbing the main monitor output.
The [PH Source] user key is used to access the headphone source selection page. Currently
two pages are available with a [More] key to switch between the pages.
The following user keys are provided for the D-Mon Headphone feed
[Ph Follow]: Headphones follow output selection – also available on phones source page
[Phones]: Headphone Enable, hold down and use knob to adjust gain
[PFL->Ph]: Route AFL/PFL to Phones
[Ph Source]: Access the Phones source selection page, hold down and use knob to adjust
gain.
D-Mon Inputs
The D-Mon does not differentiate between nputs and Cue inputs, the TMC-1 will assume that
the last 3 inputs are Cue inputs 1, 2 and 3 and can be sent to the cue outputs.
D-Mon Dim
The TMC-1 reads the D-Mon “Auto-Dim on Talkback” Option and determines the Dim as
follows
f Set: the fixed 20dB D-Mon Dim is used
f not Set: the programmable TMC-1 Dim is used

HD D1 15 5 C Co on nn ne ec ct to or r ( (X XM Mo on n) )
The XMon connector is available on the TMC-1-DMon for the following
Talkback Microphone and Headphone
The TMC-1 provides an analogue Talkback Microphone with preamp and Headphone
connection which are connected to the HD15 connector. To use connect to Analogue
nputs and outputs on the D-Mon.
The TMC-1 is designed for systems that sum the two mic inputs and then have two separate
routings both of which are available to each input. To achive this the talkback routing MUST
be setup on the TMC-1 as this overrides the talkback routing in the D-Mon.
Internal Talk ack Microphone
An electret mic amplifier is provided on the TMC-1, normally connected to the internal
microphone. A 3.5mm Jack on the rear is provided to that a suitable external “Laptop Mic”
may be used. The mic output is on the HP15 pin connector and may be configured with a
balanced or unbalanced output.
Headphone Jack
The headphone jack is connected directly to the HD15 pin connector. The input is
unbalanced with two ground returns.

Connecting to a Icon Console (D-Control or D-Command)
The D-Control or D-Command monitor control may be used to control the TMC-1-DMon
using a special cable. The con monitor control panel has no tally back from the XMon so
that although the TMC-1 will display all changes made by the con monitor control any
changes made on the TMC-1 will not be displayed on the con Monitor Control display!

For these images we have setup the Trinnov with the TMC-1 default names, n future versions
the TMC-1 will read the names from the D-Mon.
The following two images show how the D-Mon is configured. Not all inputs and outputs have
to be connected. Using this layout will allow the TMC-1 to operate correctly.

Different names are used on the TMC-1 and D-Mon as follows
TMC-1 Function D-Mon Function Description
T/B 1 TB#1 nternal (Engineer) Talkback Routing 1
T/B2 nternal (Engineer) Talkback Routing 2
T/B1x TB#2 External (Producer) Talkback Routing 1
T/B2x External (Producer) Talkback Routing 2
The Main difference between TMC-1 and D-Mon is the provision of two routings for the
talkback allowing two different destinations or groups of destinations to be selected when
activating talkback.
To use nternal talkback on any output proceed as follows
1) Enable TB#1 for the input on the on the Session page of the trinnov software
2) Enable Routing 1 (T/B1) and/or Routing 2 (T/B2) on the cues page of the TMC-1 as required
Auto-Dim
f "Auto-Dim on Talkback" is enabled on the D-Mon session settings then the D-Mon Dim
control will be used by the TMC-1. f not then the TMC-1 will use its Dim Setting to adjust the
gain of the D-Mon.
