According to AES67\/Ravenna PTP is used to synchronize the DMI to the network. Via an internal web interface the user can control microphone and DMI parameters.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eEquipment that supports the AES 42 standard can process the output signals of Solution-D microphones directly. In all other cases, the DMI-2 portable or DMI-8 digital microphone interface is used. The DMIs convert the AES 42 data format supplied by the microphone into an AES\/EBU signal.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe Interface is operated and the microphone parameters are controlled via the Neumann RCS remote control software, which is installed on a desktop or laptop computer. The computer is connected to the DMI via a USB port and a USB to RS 485 interface converter. If a large number of microphones is used, several DMI-8's can be cascaded. In this case, each digital microphone interface can be addressed individually.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to a word clock input and output, the DMIs also have an internal word clock generator. If no master word clock signal (e.g. from a mixing console) is present at the input, the DMI internal word clock is used automatically to synchronize the microphone channels, and the signal is switched to the word clock output.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eExternal commands such as \"On Air\" (red light) can be controlled via a 9-pin user port.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eThe DMI-8\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe DMI-8, an eight-channel version of the digital microphone interface is considerably simplifying the setup for multichannel applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the proven functions of the two-channel DMI-2 portable the DMI-8 also offers the following features:\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eThe capability of cascading up to 128 channels\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eD-sub 25 outputs with Tascam and Yamaha pin assignments\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eOptical ADAT interface\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eOpen architecture for later connection to other multi-channel interfaces and audio networks, such as EtherSound and MADI\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe DMI-8 offers several possibilities for easy integration into audio networks.
