"In just two years, the DMX-R100 has become Sony's most successful console ever. With more than 1,200 units in use worldwide, the mixer has far outstripped the company's sales projections, while garnering legions of satisfied users and a coveted TEC Award along the way. Whereas most analog consoles remain essentially unchanged throughout their working lives, the DMX-R100 is software-based. DMX-R100 BASICSAdapted from Sony's flagship OXF-R3 Oxford console, the DMX-R100 is a 24-bit, 48-channel (or 24 channels at 96 kHz) digital mixer with a base price of $20,000. The DMX-R100 features snapshot recall or SMPTE-driven dynamic automation of all console parameters, including moving faders with 1,024-step resolution. The DMX-R100 also offers 44.1/48/88.2/96kHz support, programmable 4-band parametric EQs, HP/LP filters and comprehensive dynamics (compressor/ducking, expander/gate).The DMX-R100 is built for speed with an intuitive touchscreen providing access to all menus. Each of the 24 channel strips (which are arranged in two switchable banks) has touch-sensitive faders with a Write button, Solo switch and a Cut feature (automated post-fader muting). The pan control displays status via a ring of 15 positional LEDs. An Access button activates the parameter setting and assignment panels in the central master section, allowing for immediate access to any channel parameter, such as EQ/filters, bus assigns, phase reverse, delay, gain trim, dynamics and any of the eight (pre/post-fader switchable) aux sends on each channel. The monitoring section is comprehensive, with talkback mic, tone oscillator, and selection of six sources in the control room and sends for studio monitoring.Sony makes the reasonable assumption that DMX-R100 users already have outboard processing gear available, so no onboard effects are provided (other than the built-in dynamics and EQ packages). The mixer includes eight effects return channels, bringing the total number of console inputs to 56 when in Remix mode. Speaking of inputs, the DMX-R100 has 24 analog inputs as standard, the first 12 of which are line/mic switchable (with phantom power) and analog insert points before the 24-bit A/D converter sections. Four expansion slots on the rear panel accept optional 8-channel I/O cards, for handling additional analog (line in/out) or digital signals ain AES/EBU, ADAT or TDIF formats.The centerpiece of the console is the high-resolution, color SVGA 600×800-pixel touchscreen, which displays parameter and operational settings, as well as dynamics or EQ curves; it also provides touchscreen control for 5.1 surround panning functions.A rear panel, 15-pin, D-sub port connects an external monitor to duplicate the console display, and a PS/2-type DIN port provides for an optional mouse and keyboard for quick data entry. Regarding surround, the DMX-R100 includes full surround monitoring control, with six discrete monitor outputs on ¼-inch TRS jacks for listening to the L/C/R/LS/RS and sub channels.Like the Oxford, the DMX-R100 offers programmable matrixing via a set of simple menus that handle all program, aux, monitor and input/output routings for fast setups — all under touchscreen control.With its compact 45×27-inch footprint and numerous sync features, the DMX-R100 is equally suitable in post or traditional studio environments. A “select machine” panel determines which of six connected transports is controlled by the tape recorder-style transport keys; a large jog/shuttle wheel doubles on transport control and data entry functions. Automation data can be stored/backed up onto the internal 3.5-inch floppy drive, and automation moves can be defined as SMPTE frames or MTC beats/bars; snapshots can be triggered as SMPTE events. Of course, wordclock I/O (with 75⌠ termination switch) and video sync (NTSC or PAL) are standard, along with 9-pin control."
