YG2 / YS2 7 / 7 Rev. 1.1
Device Description
Congratulations on your purchase of an YG2 / YS2 Optical Digital Mini -YGDAI Card.The YG2 / YS2 cards will
quickly convince you with their advantages and will facilitate your day-to-day work with Yamaha consoles and
devices such as the PM or DM series devices. YG2 / YS2 cards offer a broad flexibility in all sorts of temporary
and permanent applications, especially when long distance connections, high-quality audio transmission,
extremely low latency or high security is required.
The main card YG2 allows a direct connection of Yamaha consoles with the OPTOCORE ® OPTICAL DIGITAL
NETWORK SYSTEM. The YG2 card is capable to insert up to 64 audio channels IN and extract 64 audio
channels OUT of the Optocore network simultaneously. Inserted into the device slot the YG2 exchanges a
maximum of 16IN / 16OUT audio channels according to the Yamaha Mini -YGDAI standard with the device.
Additional YS2 sub cards can be inserted into the remaining slots. Connected to an YG2 card via CAT5 cables
using the RJ45 “SUB” port, the YS2 cards increase the number of audio channels available at the Yamaha
device up to 64IN / 64OUT (32IN / 32OUT @ 96kHz) per YG2 card. Each YS2 card also exchanges a maximum
of 16IN / 16OUT audio channels according to the Yamaha Mini -YGDAI standard with the device.
YG2 and YS2 cards can be switched between 8/16-channel mode on the Mini -YGDAI slot via software. Up to 3
YS2 cards can be connected to an YG2 card in 16-channel mode, up to 7 YS2 cards in 8-channel mode. Please
refer to Chapter “Device Compatibility” for more information regarding the compatibility of your console or
device.
A number of YG2 cards can be inserted into the slots of one device to extend the number of channels handed
over to the Optocore network, e.g. a maximum of 128IN and 128OUT by inserting two YG2 cards in an Yamaha
PM1D system.
The YG2 front panel offers several outstanding features:
• Two LC-type optical interfaces for data transmission into the Optocore network and connection of
any Optocore device for instance the DD32(E), PTP32E, LX4AP.
• One RJ45 LAN port for connection of any standard 10/100MBit Ethernet device, transport of control
or any Ethernet compatible data via the Optocore network.
• USB/RS232/Remote (D-Sub-9) port for remote control, software update, connection of external PC,
and 2 x RS422 e.g. for transport of Yamaha Remote Protocol to AD8HR by a link to the HA Remote
interface of the console.
• Direct pick up of HA Remote signals from the console slot e.g. provided in Yamaha LS9 series.
• One RJ45 SUB port for connection of additional YS2 cards.
The YS2 front panel includes:
• RS232 port for upgrading via PC.
• One RJ45 SUB port for connection of the MAIN port of additional YS2 cards via CAT5 cable.
• One RJ45 MAIN port for connection of the SUB port of additional YS2 or YG2 cards via CAT5 cable
The YG2 / YS2 cards and any other Optocore device on stage e.g. LX4AP linked by a fiber optical cable can
easily replace an analog multi-conductor cable, weighting only a fraction of a conventional copper cored one. In
‘Yamaha Mode’ the YG2 / YS2 cards allow the gain control of Optocore microphone preamps on stage, as
provided in LX4AP or X6P-Series, using a Yamaha FOH digital console.
Due to SMD production the YG2 / YS2 cards fulfils the demand of highest digital standards. The FPGA (field
programmable gate array) based concept of the internal logic circuitry, permits updating of the hardware via the
units remote ports, ensuring continual state-of-the-art cards.
Through the USB or RS232 port of the YG2 card OPTOCORE CONTROL software can control the entire
Optocore network. OPTOCORE CONTROL software is used to change the configuration or define own settings.
It provides easy access to all configuration and control tools, including routing, naming, gain setting, and
phantom power activation for attached devices such as LX4AP and X6, storage and recall of configurations on
the computer, off- and online mode, real-time level display of the individual channels in online mode.

YG2 Cards Details
Digital Audio
The YG2 digital audio interface is located on the console slot connector. According to the Yamaha Mini -YGDAI
standard, the YG2 card features a maximum of 16IN / 16OUT audio channels. Using the OPTOCORE
CONTROL software the card can be switch to 8 channel mode for Yamaha devices providing 8IN / 8OUT audio
channels, such as the DIO8. (Please refer to chapters “Optocore Network Setup” and “Device Compatibility”)
LC-Connectors
The dual, 1Gbps full bandwidth optical interfaces are equipped with LC-connectors, commonly used and
absolutely reliable under normal conditions. For rough applications such as touring and rental the 1U OptoCon
panel, with rugged and secure fiber optic connectors can be added to a side rack.
HA Remote
The YG2 card supports direct pick up of HA Remote signals from the console slot e.g. provided in Yamaha LS9
series. If the console does not provide the HA Remote signal on the console slot, the signal can be applied
externally to the USB/RS232/REMOTE port.
USB/RS232/REMOTE Auxiliary Port
Two RS422 digital channels with a data transfer rate of up to 1Mbps are provided via D-SUB-9 connector on the
front panel. The two channels are software patchable to any Optocore device featuring RS485/RS422 auxiliary
ports. The Yamaha HA Remote protocol can be applied from the consoles external HA Remote port and
transported to any device in the Optocore network by using the provided TRI-Y cable, enabling the connection
and remote control of Optocore or Yamaha converters directly from the console.
LAN Port
A 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet interface is provided via RJ45 port. All LAN ports of the Optocore devices within
the Optocore network form a virtual switch with physically distributed ports. We recommend using a standard
CAT5 network cables to connect any Ethernet device such as a standard Ethernet switch for local distribution.
SUB Port
The SUB port offers the possibility to extend the number of channels transmitted to the console if connected to
the MAIN port of an YS2 card using a standard CAT5 cable.
RS232-Connection
A RS232 port is provided within the D-SUB-9 connector on the front panel. It can be used to upgrade the cards
internal logic or to connect it with the OPTOCORE CONTROL software. We recommend using a shielded,
standard 1:1 cable for the RS232 port.
USB-Connection
The D-SUB9 connector also provides an USB port. We recommend using the TRI-Y cable, which is provided
with every YG2 card. It allows you to connect with the OPTOCORE CONTROL software.
Please note: Upgrading the cards internal logic is only possible using the RS232 connection.
Protocol
The OPTOCORE ® OPTICAL DIGITAL NETWORK SYSTEM uses a digital Time Division Multiplex technology
(TDM) with a fiber channel based 8B10B-NRZI-coding. Static time slots guarantee the synchronous
transmission of all channels at any time with no demand for dynamic bandwidth.
Transmission Delay
The Optocore system delay, including the matrix, is fixed to 41,6 µs for all channels. The transport delay per
Optocore unit (<200 ns) in the network is insignificant. The transmission delay is constant from any point to any
point. Overall delay depends on converters and fiber cable length, with ‘normal’ cable lengths of <700 m it can
also be considered as marginal.

YG2 / YS2 10 / 10 Rev. 1.1
Control
Controlling of all devices in the Optocore network including Optocore converter modules is achieved from any
unit using the OPTOCORE CONTROL software via RS232 or USB port. Both ports are available using D-SUB-9
connector on the front panel. If previously adapted by Optocore, third party protocols for card controlling can be
activated via OPTOCORE CONTROL menu SET / SPECIAL MODE, for example the "Yamaha mode" to control
the Optocore mice-preamps from a Yamaha-console.

Interconnect all cards with the provided CAT5 cables using the SUB / MAIN interfaces as shown in the chapter
”Optocore Network Setup”. Connect the provided TRI-Y cable for the Optocore network setup via USB port. Do
not connect the optical cables yet.
Optocore Network Setup
Before connecting the YG2 card to further Optocore devices by the optical LINK, assure that all devices have a
basic set-up in order to be able to operate correctly. For operation safety reasons, some settings (e.g. “ID”) are
only allowed to be made when locally connected to a device. The best approach to check the settings is to
connect locally to every single device of the Optocore network with a PC using either RS232 or USB connection
(use the provided TRI-Y Cable for USB), run the OPTOCORE CONTROL software and enter menu SET /
LOCAL SETTINGS.
The following descriptions only relate to YG2 / YS2 cards settings:

YG2 / YS2 12 / 12 Rev. 1.1
YG2 Card
• General -> ID: Set each device in the optical network to a unique ID. Device IDs must be unique in
the entire Optocore network. Set the YG2 card inserted in the main console (when using several
consoles) to ID1 and check the “Master Priority” flag. This determines the card to be the internal
word clock master for the Optocore network.
• General -> Card ID: Set the ID to either “MY-16AT emulation” or “MY-8AT emulation” depending on
the standards of the console. Please refer to the chapter “Device Compatibility” which settings apply
for your console.
• HA Remote via slot: Choose the device ID and port of the destination device to which the
HA Remote signal should be transmitted. You can only choose the transmit port, the receive port is
assigned automatically. Due to the RS422 standard the two ports are unidirectional. For a bi-
directional communication between the devices one transmit and one receive path has to be
determined. Make sure that both ports of the destination device match the setting of the YG2 card!
• HA Remote via front-panel-RS422: If your console does not provide the HA-remote signal on the
console slot, choose the destination device ID and its port, to which the HA-Remote Signal should
be transmitted and apply the HA-remote signal externally using the provided TRI-Y cable You can
only choose the transmit port, the receive port is assigned automatically. Due to the RS422
standard the two ports are unidirectional. For a bi-directional communication between the devices
one transmit and one receive path has to be determined. Make sure that both ports of the
destination device match the setting of the YG2 card!
• Ethernet setup: In order to use the Optocore network for Ethernet transport, the option has to be
activated at every device in the Optocore Network. Currently the Optocore network is capable to
transport three CVBS Video channels or one CVBS Video channel plus 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet
when Ethernet transport is activated. For the YG2 card the activation is done by marking the two
boxes “Optocore Ethernet transport” and “Enable local Ethernet”.
• SUB Setup -> SUB Cards: Set the number of YS2 cards, you have connected to your YG2 card.
Push button “Write” first, confirm with “OK” and press “Close” to exit the dialog.
YS2 Card
• General -> Card ID: Set it either to “MY-16AT emulation” or “MY-8AT emulation” depending on the
standards of the console. Please refer to chapter “Device Compatibility” which settings to use for
your console.
Push button “Write” first, confirm with “OK” and press “Close” to exit the dialog.
Check your console if all cards inserted in the slots have been recognized correctly (please refer to your
consoles manual how to do). If you have changed the default settings for “Card ID”, a restart of your console is
necessary after the change in order to recognize the cards correctly.
You may now connect the optical LINK cables between all Optocore devices.
Note: When connecting the optical LINK cables, for convenience temporarily remove the TRI-Y cable. This
especially counts for removing the optical cables.
Check your set-up by connecting to any device using either RS232 or USB connection, running the OPTOCORE
CONTROL software and starting “Online Mode” in the “Set” menu. The entire network at its current state is now
displayed in the control software. Check the “log window” for any error messages.
Optionally you may connect the TRI-Y cable to the HA Remote port of your console and attach any Ethernet
device to the LAN port of your YG2 card.
