Overview
This document provides a step-by-step explanation of the settings needed in order
to control the DM1000 V2 from a video editor. To ensure smooth integration of the
new functionality of DM1000 V2, refer to your owner’s manual as you follow the
steps in this document to perform the necessary settings and tests. At some points
in this process, you will need to verify or change settings in your video editor, so
please locate the owner’s manual for your video editor and keep it at hand for
reference before you begin.
Functionality enabled by connecting the DM1000 V2 to your
video editor
If you connect the DM1000 V2 to your video editor and control the DM1000 from your
video editor, you will be able to use functionality such as the following:
•Crossfade audio signals by operations such as Dissolve
•Monitor the audio signals when you switch or preview sources
This functionality is controlled via the ESAM Serial II Protocol (ESAM II) -
Extended protocol, which is designed to link the operation of video editors and
mixers in a post-production environment.
The audio signal crossfade functionality of the DM1000 V2 is implemented using
the input channel level faders of the mixer block. While being controlled from the
editor, the level will be as follows:
Actual level = channel level x crossfade level (range of 0 dB to –∞dB)
This is just as though a virtual crossfader located after the channel level fader were
being controlled by the editor. In the owner’s manual, this crossfade level is
referred to as the “ESAM FADER.”
The monitor functionality sends the signal of the channel selected by the video
editor’s preview or monitor function via the DM1000’s STEREO, BUS, or SOLO
bus from CONTROL ROOM to the desired jacks (by default, the OMNI OUT
11/12 jacks). The choice of bus and its operation will depend on the preview and
monitor functionality of your video editor; modify the settings of your video editor
so that the system will operate as desired.

The following video editors have been confirmed to work when connected to the
DM1000 V2.
•Sony BVE2000, 9100 (9100 requires option)
•Accom Axial 2010, 2020, 3000
•Ampex ACE200
•Panasonic AG A850
1. Make settings in your video editor
On your video editor that has been confirmed to work with the DM1000, make
settings so that it will transmit and receive ESAM-II commands for serial control
of the mixer. The method for making these settings will depend on the video editor,
so refer to its owner’s manual for details. In particular if your editor is able to
control a mixer using methods other than serial control, you may need to change its
control method to serial control.
< Hint >
In most cases, you can make the appropriate settings for connecting the DM1000
simply by setting your video editor to control the Graham Patten Systems, Inc.
D/ESAM, which is a typical ESAM-compatible mixer.
2. Connect the DM1000 V2 to your video editor
Connect the two devices so that the ESAM-II protocol compliant editor will be
able to control the DM1000. The following table shows the pin assignments of the
DM1000’s REMOTE connector connected to the editor, and of the serial mixer
control connector of the video editor.

Note that you cannot simply use an RS232C or RS422 straight cable or cross-cable
“as is.” Refer to the pin assignment table above, and change the wiring as needed.
The cable from the DM1000 must be connected to the “serial mixer control
connector.” Video editors have a D-sub 9-pin connector for video recorders, but the
DM1000 cannot be connected to a video recorder connector or to the parallel
control connector of a video editor.
3. Connect the DM1000 V2 to your video recorders
Connect the audio signals from the video recorders to the DM1000’s audio input
jacks. You can connect to the DM1000’s analog jacks, or to the analog or digital
jacks on an MY card. If you’re using a digital video recorder, you can use the
2TRACK IN jacks, or install a card that allows transmission and reception of
AES/EBU signals, such as the MY8-AE/AE96/AE96S or MY16-AE. The MY
cards have D-sub 25-pin connectors (female), so you will need to obtain a cable
appropriate for the connector you use.
The following explanation will assume that you are using two VTRs for playback
and one VTR for recording, and that they are connected as follows:
-Playback VTR (P1) output connected to INPUT jacks 1, 2, 3, 4
-Playback VTR (P2) output connected to INPUT jacks 5, 6, 7, 8
-Recording VTR (REC) output connected to INPUT jacks 9, 10, 11, 12
-OMNI OUT jacks 1, 2, 3, 4, connected to the inputs of the recording VTR
(REC)
(If you’re using an MY card, these will be INPUT jacks 17 and following, so
substitute the INPUT jack numbers appropriately.)

In order to input/output digital signals, the audio signals must also be synchronized
with the DM1000 V2. For details on the word clock settings required for
synchronization, refer to the DM1000 owner’s manual section “Word clock
connections and settings.”
4. Enable commands to be exchanged with the video editor
In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, repeatedly press the [SETUP] key to access the
REMOTE (REMOTE PORT SETUP) page of the SETUP screen.
Move the cursor to the REMOTE FUNCTION field, select “ESAM”, and press the
[ENTER] key to confirm your choice. A screen will ask you to confirm. Select
YES to switch to ESAM mode.
Now the DM1000 will be able to transmit and receive ESAM commands.

5. Verify that the DM1000 is correctly connected to your video
editor
Now you must verify that the DM1000 is correctly connected so that it can be
controlled by the video editor. If you are unable to control the DM1000 V2 from
your video editor, it is important to determine whether the fault lies in the settings
of the editor or in the settings of the DM1000. Although it is a simplified method,
the following procedure will allow you to determine this by watching the
DM1000’s error display.
5.1 On the keyboard of the video editor, press the key that selects the player or
recorder device (e.g., P1, P2, or REC key) or the ALL STOP key.
5.2 Check whether an indication of “REMOTE Parity Error” appears in the
bottom line of the DM1000’s LCD screen. If this message does not appear,
change the setting in the screen as described in step 5.3, and try the operation
of step 5.1 again. If this message appears, it means that some type of
commands are being received from the editor. Perform step 5.4 to set the
parity correctly.
5.3 In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, repeatedly press the [SETUP] key to
access the REMOTE (REMOTE PORT SETUP) page of the SETUP screen.
Move the cursor to the ESAM PARITY parity field, select a setting other than
the current setting, and then perform step 5.1 again. Continue doing so until
the “REMOTE Parity Error” indication appears at the bottom of the LCD
screen in step 5.2. If this does not appear, it is probable that the DM1000 is
not correctly connected to the video editor, so you will need to check the
settings from step 1. In this state, the DM1000 cannot be controlled from the
video editor even if you proceed to the next step.

8
5.4 In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, press the [SETUP] key repeatedly to
access the REMOTE (REMOTE PORT SETUP) page of the SETUP screen.
Move the cursor to the ESAM PARITY field, and choose the same setting as
the PARITY setting of your video editor. Most video editors use the EVEN
setting, but some models such as the Ampex ACE200 use ODD. Change this
setting so that performing step 5.1 will does not produce the error indication
in step 5.2. If the error in step 5.2 appears no matter how you change this
setting, please re-check the connection between the DM1000 and the video
editor. It may be that there is a faulty connection within the cable or in the
connector.
< Hint >
If you operate the video editor when the DM1000 V2 is not connected to the video
editor, the video editor may indicate “Mixer Local.” This indicates that you
attempted to control the audio mixer even though it was not connected to the video
editor. If this occurs, use the above procedure to check the connection.
The DM1000 V2 does not have the ability of indicating that it received a command
from the REMOTE connector.
6. Match the frame type with the video
In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, press the [SETUP] key repeatedly to access the
TIME PREF (TIME REFERENCE) page of the SETUP screen. Move the cursor to
the FRAMES field, and choose the same frame type as the video you are editing.
The crossfade time on the DM1000 is calculated according to this frame type, so if
this setting is incorrect, you will not obtain the desired crossfade times.

7. Initialize the DM1000’s mixer settings
Initialize DM1000 settings such as fader and on/off to the factory-set condition.
This is done by recalling a scene memory. The procedure is described in chapter 14
Scene Memory of the owner’s manual. Use this procedure to recall scene memory
0. Once you’ve made mixer settings, you can store them in a scene memory. After
making the mixer settings appropriate for your environment, store them in a scene
memory.
8. Patch the INPUT jack signals to input channels
On the DM1000, the signals connected to the INPUT jacks can be patched to the
desired channel. In this example, the signals from INPUT jacks 1 and following
will be patched to channels 1 and following. In the DISPLAY ACCESS section,
press the [INPUT PATCH] key repeatedly to access the IN PATCH page of the IN
PATCH screen. Starting with channel 1, assign each channel to AD1 (INPUT jack
1), AD2 (INPUT jack 2), … etc., so that INPUT jacks 1-4 are assigned to channels
1-4, INPUT jacks 5-8 are assigned to channels 5-8, and INPUT jacks 9-12 are
assigned to channels 9-12.

10
9. Patch the bus signals to output jacks
The crossfaded signals will be routed via buses to the video recorder used for
recording. The playback audio from the video recorder used for recording will be
routed via the stereo bus and output from the monitor speakers. Patch the
appropriate bus to each jack in order to create this output signal routing.
In this example, patch buses 1-4 to OMNI OUT jacks 1-4, and patch the control
monitor L/R channels to 11-12.
10. Assign the audio channel inputs for the video recorders and
the DM1000
Specify the relationship between the DM1000’s INPUT jacks and the video
recorders. Based on these assignments, the DM1000 will interpret commands from
the video editor, and will control the appropriate channel accordingly. (On some
editors such as the BVE9100, these assignments are not used; instead, control will
occur according to the settings of the video editor. These settings are provided by
