RCI Front Panel Features
The RCI provides a network access point for remote control of the 6416m.
Any number of RCI Remote Control Interfaces can be installed anywhere in
a Pro64 network, providing multiple control access and monitor points. The
Control Group function on the 6416m and RCI allows control of active mic
channels to be divided among up to four different simultaneous users and
control points. The RCI can also be used simultaneously with m‑control for
Yamaha digital console to provide multiple points of control.
The RCI can also be used as a stand‑alone monitor station; any Pro64 network
audio resource can be selected (from the RCI or MCS) and monitored using
the built‑in headphone and/or line‑level XLR mono outputs. MCS Mic Control
Surfaces can be connected and disconnected from the RCI without affecting
network behavior.
This section describes the features and functions of all front‑panel
components of the RCI Remote Control Interface.
Headphone Input Jack
The 1/4‑inch TRS headphone input jack accepts any stereo headphone or
earphone. The mono audio signal monitored here is determined by the
currently selected A‑Net Slot as shown on the RCI front panel. The selected
A‑Net Slot being monitored is always available at both the headphone jack
and the rear‑panel XLR line‑level output. Only one Slot can be monitored at a
time; the headphone jack always monitors a mono signal.
Monitor Volume Control
This knob controls the volume for the headphone jack and has no effect on
the fixed level of the rear‑panel line‑level monitor output.
Network Mode Selection
The Network Mode section of the interface has a set of LEDs that indicate
the current network mode being used: Auto or Manual Mode. The current
network mode is set at the Control Master. In Auto Mode, no network settings
are available, the Pro64 network manages all channel allocation and VDC
resources. It does not matter which rear‑panel A‑Net port is used to connect
the RCI to the network.
In Manual Mode, the user can select a specific A‑Net port from which to draw
channel information.
