Introduction

Precautions for Rack Mounting

Operation of this device is guaranteed within a temperature range of 0 to 40°C. If you mount this unit along with other Rio-D3 unit(s) or other device(s) in an EIA standard rack, the heat from each device will raise the temperature inside the rack, which may prevent the unit from achieving full performance. When rack mounting the unit, always observe the following requirements to avoid heat buildup:

• If three or more Rio-D3 units are mounted without space in the same rack, set the fan speeds to HIGH.
• If multiple units are mounted in the same rack with their fan speeds set to LOW, leave 1U space between every two units. In addition, ensure sufficient ventilation by installing a ventilation panel in these spaces, or simply leave the open spaces uncovered.
• When mounting the unit in a rack with devices such as power amplifiers that tend to generate a significant amount of heat, leave 1U or more space between this unit and other equipment. In addition, ensure sufficient ventilation by installing a ventilation panel in these spaces, or simply leave the open spaces uncovered.
• To ensure sufficient airflow, leave the rear of the rack open and position it at least 10 cm from walls, ceilings or other surfaces. If the rear of the rack cannot be left open, install a commercially-available fan kit or similar forced ventilation system to secure sufficient airflow. If you have installed a fan kit, there may be cases in which closing the rear of the rack will produce a greater cooling effect. For more information, refer to the instruction manuals for the rack and fan kit.

Recessed Installation

If you want to recess the front panel surface of the device from the front edge of the rack, you can adjust the position of the rack mount brackets to recess the device by 50 mm or 100 mm, as shown in the illustration below.

In the same way, rack mount hardware can also be attached to the rear panel surface.

NOTE

When you install the brackets, use the same screws that you just removed from the unit.

About Dante

This product features Dante technology as a protocol to transmit audio signals. Dante is a network protocol developed by Audinate. It is designed to transmit multi-channel audio signals at various sampling and bit rates, as well as device control signals over a single Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) network.

It also offers the following advantages:

• Under optimal conditions in a Gigabit Ethernet environment, you could theoretically transmit 48 kHz/24-bit audio via up to 512 ins and 512 outs, for a total of 1,024 channels.
• Devices in the network can be detected and set automatically, and device names can be assigned as desired.
• Dante uses high accuracy network synchronization standards to achieve sample-accurate playback with extremely low latency and jitter.
• Dante supports redundant connections via primary and secondary circuits to defend against unforeseen difficulties.
• Connecting a computer to Dante network over Ethernet enables you to directly input or output audio signals without using any audio interface devices. (Please note that you need to use Dante Virtual Soundcard or Dante Via.)
• Audio can be transmitted between devices up to 100 m apart using a CAT5e network cable. However, the maximum practical distance may vary depending on the cable used.

Visit the Audinate website for more details on Dante:

https://www.audinate.com/

More information on Dante is also posted on the Yamaha Pro Audio website:

https://www.yamahaproaudio.com/

This product uses a Dante module provided by Audinate Pty. Ltd.

You can use Dante Controller to display information about the Dante module used in this product.

Visit the Audinate website for more information on the open-source software license applicable to each Dante module:

https://www.audinate.com/software-licensing

NOTE

If you are using a Dante network, do not use the network switch EEE function*: The EEE function may deteriorate the clock synchronization performance and interrupt audio. Therefore, please note the following: - If you are using managed switches, turn off the EEE function on all ports used for Dante. Do not use any switch that does not allow the EEE function to be turned off. - If using unmanaged switches, do not use switches that support the EEE function. In such switches, the EEE function cannot be turned off.

* EEE (Energy Efficient Ethernet) is a technology that reduces switch power consumption during periods of low network traffic. It is also known as Green Ethernet or IEEE802.3az.

Dante Network Settings and Audio Routing

This product does not feature a function that enables you to change Dante network settings, such as Sample Rate, Latency or Encoding. The Dante network settings will be controlled from Dante Controller or the supported digital mixers.

For details on Dante network settings, refer to the corresponding owner's manual for the supported digital mixer.

The audio inputs to and outputs from multiple Dante devices can be freely routed within a Dante network.

This means that you will need to make settings that specify the destination to which each channel's signal will be sent.

Use Dante Controller to specify the Dante network and audio routing settings.

Dante Controller can be downloaded from the following website.

https://www.yamahaproaudio.com/

For details on Dante Controller, refer to the Dante Controller owner's manual on the same website.

About Connections

There are two ways to connect this product to a Dante network: daisy-chain connection and star connection.

NOTE

A daisy chain connection is suitable for a simple system with a small number of devices. Use a star network if a large number of devices are connected.

Daisy Chain Network

A daisy chain is a wiring scheme in which multiple devices are connected together in sequence. In this way, networking is simple and requires no network switches. If you connect a large number of devices, you must set a higher latency value to avoid skipping audio that could be caused by an increased delay in signal transfer among the devices. Also, if a connection is broken in a daisy chain network, the signal flow is interrupted at that point and no signal will be transferred beyond that point.

About Connections

Star Network

In a star network, each device is connected to a central network switch. Using a GbE-compatible network switch enables you to configure a wide-band, large-scale network. We recommend a network switch that features various functions to control and monitor the network (such as QoS, the ability to assign priority to data flows - e.g., clock synchronization or audio transmission on certain data circuits.)

With this topology, it is common to configure a redundant network so that an unexpected network problem will not affect any audio or otherwise stable communications.

About redundant networks

A redundant network consists of two circuits, a primary circuit and a secondary circuit. Normally, the network operates on the primary circuit. However, if the primary connection is broken, the secondary circuit will automatically take over communications. Therefore, using a redundant network with a star topology would increase communication stability relative to a daisy chain network.

If you change the port selection on the Rio-D3, the Port Identify command will be executed for one second.

Turning Remote Only On/Off

The Remote Only function disables parameter editing from the front panel of the Rio-D3 to prevent unintentional changes to parameter values.

This function is always off when the Rio-D3 starts up.

NOTE

• You can still edit the SETUP menu items (SETUP and CONTROL) even when Remote Only is On.
• You can still adjust parameters from a supported device even when Remote Only is On.

To turn It On

Set it to On from the supported device when the device and the Rio-D3 are synchronized. Even if the connection to the supported device is lost while the Remote Only function is On, the function will remain turned On.

When Remote Only is On, the REMOTE ONLY icon appears on the home screen of the Rio-D3 display.

REMOTE ONLY icon

To turn it off

Disable the function from the supported device, or turn the power to the Rio-D3 off and then on again.

When Remote Only is turned off, the REMOTE ONLY icon disappears.

Control from an External Device

Connecting the Rio-D3 to a supported device enables you to control the Rio-D3 remotely. The display of the supported device that is connected to the Rio-D3 indicates the model name and UNIT ID of the Rio-D3.

For information on connecting a supported device to the Rio-D3, and monitoring and controlling the unit from the device, please refer to the owner's manual for the corresponding supported device.
