Introduction

About M-200i RCS

M-200i RCS is application software that runs on Windows or Mac . It lets you edit M-

200i project files, and remotely control the M-200i.

The contents of this document are written with the assumption that the user has all of the basic knowledge and skills required to operate a computer . Please read the owner’s manual of your computer if you have questions regarding basic operations.

Introduction

The two modes of M-200i RCS

M-200i RCS has two modes: Offline mode and Online mode.

Offline mode

In this mode you can edit an M-200i project file via USB memory. The advantage of this mode is that you can edit mixer parameters and scene memories even when the

M-200i itself is not at hand.

fig.OfflineEdit.eps

USB memory

Edit within M-200iRCS

You can also create a new project file in M-200i RCS and load it into the M-200i.

Save the project file Load the project file

USB memory

Online mode

In this mode you can connect your computer to the M-200i via USB, and control the

M-200i remotely. Since M-200i RCS lets you use your mouse and keyboard to control the M-200i, you can operate it in a more intuitive manner. In addition, M-200i RCS can show a separate screen that is different from the screen shown on the M-200i itself, letting you view and edit more information simultaneously.

• Parameters of the RECORDER screen

• Parameters of the SYSTEM screen

• Parameters of the REAC screen

• Parameters of the USER PREFERENCE screen

• Parameters of the REMOTE screen

• Parameters of the NETWORK screen

• Parameters of the USB MEMORY screen

fig.ScrOffline.eps

fig.ScrSync1.eps

M-200i RCS will be in offline mode when you start up or when you open a project file.

Before you continue, start up the M-200i console, and use a

USB cable to connect it to your computer.

The “Synchronize” dialog box will appear.

2

In the “Project” field, specify the project to which you will synchronize: the project on the M-200i console or the project in M-

200i RCS.

Read from CONSOLE The project will be loaded from the M-200i console into M-

200i RCS.

Send to CONSOLE The project will be sent from M-200i RCS to the M-200i console.

* If two or more M-200i units are connected to the computer, select the desired unit using the UNIT pulldown menu.

3

In the “Option” field, specify whether you want to synchronize the user library.

If you check the “Sync User Libraries” option, operations on the user library of M-

200i RCS matches the user library on the M-200i console.

4

Click “OK.”

If you selected “Read from CONSOLE” in step 2, the current project will be closed, a new project will be opened, and then synchronization will begin.

A message box will ask whether you want to save the current project.

fig.ScrSyncConfirm.eps

Selection of “Send to

CONSOLE” and “Sync User

Libraries” will overwrite current libraries on the M-

200i console. Be sure to save any needed M-200i libraries to USB memory prior to sending.

When you click “OK,” project synchronization will begin.

5

When project synchronization is completed, M-200i RCS will switch to online mode.

fig.ScrOnline.eps

The M-200i console will show a progress message while the project is being synchronized. Operations on the M-200i will be disabled during this time.

In online mode, you’ll be able to remotely control the M-200i console from M-

200i RCS.

If you selected “Send to CONSOLE” in step 2 and the M-200i’s scene memory or user library contains any locked data, a message box will ask you whether you want to overwrite the data.

fig.ScrSyncConfirmLock1.eps

• If you click “OK,” the data will be overwritten.

• If you click “Cancel,” project synchronization will be cancelled.

On the “Synchronize” dialog box, you can adjust the data transfer speed.

Using M-200i RCS

REAC input/output settings

In offline mode, you can make virtual settings for an input/output unit (e.g., S-1608 stage unit, S-0816 FOH unit, S-4000S 40-channel I/O modular rack) that will later be connected to the M-200i console. This lets you make preamp gain settings or input/ output patching ahead of time, to specify the M-200i’s input/output settings that will be used at the actual performance.

1

From the “Setup” menu, choose “REAC Config.” fig.ScrReacConf.eps

Settings in the REAC Config dialog box are used to supplement offline mode.

When you load a project on the M-200i console itself, or switch to online mode, the settings for the input/output units that are actually connected to the M-200i will be applied.

The “REAC Config” dialog box is unavailable in online mode.

The “REAC Config” dialog box will appear.

• SO-DA4 (4ch Analog Out)

• SO-AES4 (4ch Digital Out)

3

Press the “OK” button to close the S-4000S Config dialog box.

If an error is displayed in step 3, one of the following situations may have occurred. Correct the mistake, and click “OK” once again:

• A module of a differing type is incongruously located between modules; e.g., input module, output module, input module

• A module of a differing type begins at an even-numbered slot

• Only the odd-numbered slot of adjacent odd-numbered/even-numbered slots is blank
