PD-1net Pec-Direct Remote For DAW's
The PD-1net is an upgrade for the popular PD-1 DAW monitoring controller. The original PD-1 now
the PD-1net provided a new way to implement the 'Pec-Direct' panel concept. The solo, mute and
source/playback switching are implemented within the digital audio workstation. By switching within
the workstation a large number of interconnections and hardware are eliminated, for instance an
outboard 48 track Pec/Direct unit would require 96 inputs!. The audio is then mixed within the
workstation to generate the individual monitor feeds (LCRS...).
Film pioneered multi-channel recording, some current mixes can have over 200 separate elements in
any section. The combination of multiple multi-channel segments with multi-format delivery
requirements has forced film dubbing mixers to develop a flexible way of working which demands an
appropriate monitoring system. Two main elements have evolved: firstly the concept of stems,
premixed multi-channel elements, typically music, dialogue and effects, secondly the 'PEC-Direct'
panel (PEC = Photo Electric Cell). This could also be called a 'tape-direct', “playback-direct” or today
'disk-direct', we prefer the original name 'Pec-Direct'.
The typical monitor section in a film desk is a completely separate mixer with for example 6 stems of
8 tracks requiring 48 'Direct' inputs and 48 'Pec' inputs. The inputs are routed to up to 8 outputs (For
example a 7 track mix of L, R, C, Sub/FX, LS, RS, CS ). The dialogue stems may only be mono, the
music stems may be two or three track or four track, and up to 7 track effect stems.
The PD-1net builds the function of the desk monitor section into the DAW eliminating completely the
hardware and wiring required to implement the monitor section in the console.
An added advantage of connecting directly to the DAW is that the Stem and Track names may be
read directly from the DAW, stems may be generated automatically from the track names so that the
user does not have to re-enter them.
The following updates have been made to the PD-1net and PD-1v2 Software
•[Bank] key that allows access to 16 Stems each of which can be up to 16 tracks wide
•Stem Linking allowing Object stems with more than 16 tracks
•The Output port can now access 128 tracks on Protools
•The Input Port may be used as a Output Port and can access 64 tracks (You will need to
purchase another USB-422 for this) allowing up to 192 tracks in total.
PD-1v2 Software only upgrade
•Connect with the new PD-2 Stem assignment s/w available for Mac or Windows via the
RS422 input port.
PD-1net Only
•Ethernet has been provided to link multiple PD-1's and connect with the new PD-2 Stem
assignment s/w available for Mac or Windows.
For multi operator systems the PD-1net may be used with a second PD-1net, PD-1, PD-3 or PD-
2(When Available).
Size: The PD-1net is designed as a stand alone unit the front panel is 230mm wide x 200mm. The lip
around the front panel allows the PD-1net to be mounted in a panel.

The panel is made up of 8 individual channels and a Master, the bank key allows access to 16
channels.
The panel operates on two levels
1. Stem Level: controls and displays all the "Stems"
2. Track Level: controls and displays the tracks within a single "Stem"
Selecting Stem/track Level
To Select Track level from Stem level
Click the [Stem] key and whist the Stem LED is flashing click the selected stem [Solo] key.
When in track level the Stem LED is illuminated
To Select Stem Level from Track level
Click the Stem Key.
Alternatively You can also use the same method as the PD-3 - Hold down [Shift] and use any of the
Solo keys to switch between Stem level and Track Level (Note: the s/w will not allow you to access
an empty stem!).
The Stems and tracks are normally displayed using their names but can also be displayed by number
Stem Level
Up to 16 Stems may be defined in two banks of 8, use the Bank Key to access to the second bank of
8 stems. Each stem can contain up to 16 tracks, The channel strip controls all the tracks within stem
assigned. The stems may also be linked to allow a single channel to control a stem with any number
of tracks.
The upper line of the display shows "Stems" and the Bank number (Bank 1 or Bank 2).
Track Level
The individual channels are assigned to up to 16 tracks, The [Bank] key is used to select between the
two banks of 8 traccks. The Master keys control all tracks in the Stem on both banks.
By using the two levels you can Solo, Mute, Safe, Record, Pec/Direct as single track within a stem, a
stem with multiple tracks or all stems.

Solo In Place
When Recording within the replay DAW special consideration must be given to solo, the Record
(Stem) Solos must be separated from the replay solo’s or solo in place will not work as expected.
The PD-1net implements Solo using or Mute commands. The advantage of using Mutes for Solo’s is
that Solo in Place will work correctly.
Where a separate record protocols is not used to configure Solo in Place the stems should be solo
safe on the DAW, On the PD-1net the Composite stem should be solo safe. This will allow the stems
to be soloed on the PD-1net and the tracks to be soloed on the DAW.

The [Shift] key in combination with other keys is used to access different functions from the PD-1net
keyboard. as follows
[Shift] + [Bank] Enter Setup Menu
[Shift] + [Any Solo Key] Stem mode - Expand stem to tracks
Track Mode - Return to stem mode
The following key combination depends on setup menu 'Unit-01 Shift held Function'

1=Off Off
2=S.Safe+P.Mast [Shift]+[Channel Mute] = P.Mast, [Shift]+[Channel Safe] = Solo Safe

case to more OB stem(s) on the second bank.

Link
The link concept was introduced in the PD-2 software to cope with object stems, Object stems can
contain any number of tracks, when there are more than 16 it is necessary to combine multiple stems
to accommodate them. The linked stems must be adjacent in the DAW, not on the PD-1net surface.
Linking applies to all stem functions, Solo, mute record and Pec/Direct
Enable/Disable Stem linking
Stem linking is defined by the PDStem program, any stem with more that 16 tracks will be defined
over linked stems.
Solo-Safe
When the [Shift] key is held depressed and the message ‘Safe= SoloSafe’ is displayed in the user
message display. In this mode the Safe keys are used to set/clear the Solo-Safe data. Soly safe is
normally used on the composite output stem.
Enable/Disable Solo Safe
•Enable in menu Unit-01 Shift held function 2=S.Safe+P.Mast
•Select Stem level as above
•Hold down the [Shift] key, user display will show “Safe=SoloSafe”
•Use the Channel [Safe] keys to enable/disable Solo Safe, the Safe LED's indicate which
stems are Solo Safe.

CB Electronics 13 March 2018 15
Print Master Stems
Print Master Stems are special; they must be modified whenever any stem is modified. To achieve
this when any stem enters record the Print Master stems enter Record, Print Master Stems will exit
Record when all other stems exit record, You can define multiple print master stems
Enable/Disable Print Master Stems
•Enable in Menu Unit 01 Shift held function 2=S.Safe+P.Mast
•Select Stem or Track level as above
•Hold down the [Shift] key
•Use the Channel [Mute] keys to enable/disable Print Master, the Mute LED's indicate which
stems are print master.
Protools Track Names
The PD-1 controls the record and monitor on the stems and on the final mix (comp). Care should be
taken over the track names so that they can recognised in the first four characters. For instance two
stems ‘Music1’ and ‘Music2’ will both show as ‘Musi’, use ‘Mx1’ and ‘Mx2’ or equivalent.
When Long names are used protocols will remove any spaces, it is best to use a special character to
separate Stem and track such as _ . , -
In the example below the names are used
Track names used in Diagram
Music Stem Effects Stem Dialog Stem Composite Stem
Channel1 Mx_L Fx.L Dx_A Comp_L

Channel 8
The diagram shows a 5.1 mix with3 mono dialog tracks, using the PD-1 you can mute or solo stems
or individual tracks and mute or solo Left, Right etc in the Comp stem. The Comp Stem must be
made Solo-Safe in the PD-1 to enable Stem or track Solo.
