 SLOT field

This field enables you to make various settings related to the MY slots on the rear panel of the

console.

4 Card name

Indicates the type of card installed in the slot. If nothing is installed, “----” will appear.

5 SRC buttons

The SRC (Sampling Rate Converter) function can be switched on or off for a slot in which

an MY card (MY8-AE96S) that features the SRC function is installed. If another type of

card is installed, or if no card is installed, no SRC button will appear.

6 FREQUENCY display

Indicates the sampling frequency of input signals if the installed card can detect the

substatus of input signals, such as an AES/EBU card. If another type of card is installed,

or if no card is installed, “----” will appear.

7 EMPHASIS STATUS display

Indicates the emphasis information of input signals if the installed card can detect the

substatus of input signals, such as an AES/EBU card. If another type of card is installed,

or if no card is installed, “----” will appear.

Using cascade connections

Using multiple QL series consoles, or a QL console and an external mixing console (such as

a Yamaha PM5D) in a cascade connection enables buses to be shared among the devices.

This can be convenient if you want to use an external mixer to increase the number of inputs.

This section explains cascade connections and operation, using an example in which two QL

units are connected in a cascade configuration.

About cascade connections

To cascade two QL series consoles, you must first install digital I/O cards in the appropriate

slots, and connect the output ports of the sending unit (the cascade slave) to the input ports

of the receiving unit (the cascade master).

The following illustration shows an example in which two eight-channel digital I/O cards for

each unit are installed in the cascade slave QL unit and in the cascade master QL unit. The

DIGITAL OUT jacks of the sending unit are connected to the DIGITAL IN jacks of the receiving

unit.

In this example, up to twenty four buses chosen from MIX bus 1–16, MATRIX bus 1–8,

STEREO bus (L/R), MONO (C) bus, and CUE bus (L/R) can be shared, and the mixed signals

transmitted from the cascade master QL unit. (If you use two 16-channel digital I/O cards, all

buses can be shared among the devices.) When the required settings are made for the

cascade slave and for the cascade master, the bus signals of the cascade slave will be sent

via the slot to the buses of the cascade master, and the combined signals of both buses will

be output from the cascade master. If the Cascade Link function is enabled, the specified

operations or parameter changes performed on either QL series console will be followed by

the other QL console.

You must specify bus assignments for each slot or channel on each QL unit. Separate

procedures are outlined for the cascade slave and the cascade master.
