Appendix D - Remote Protocols
Remote Protocol B - PRE™ (AVID)
Introduction
The ANDIAMO.MC can emulate an PRE™ device. As both devices differ in feature
set and design some characteristics need to be oberserved:
• PAD affects 30 dB not 18 dB as the PRE™ device
• Different gain ranges of PRE™ (gain 0 dB to +69 dB) and ANDIAMO.MC
(input sensitivity 0 dB to -54 dB), i.e. values higher than +54 dB will have no
effect.
• Device values are not read back by Pro Tools®. Only new values are written
to the device. Pro Tools® will not monitor changes that are not made by the
application.
NOTE
Due to the unidirectional control protocol without status report, settings via device
user interface or other remote ports are restricted when Remote Protocol B is
activated.
Setup
The remote protocol requires a MIDI link between Pro Tools® and the ANDIAMO.
MC. The MIDI data needs to be embedded into the MADI signal - aka ‘MIDI over
MADI’ (ANDIAMO.MC does not provide MIDI plugs).
To control all 32 channels of the ANDIAMO.MC, four PRE™ devices with eight
channels each need to be configured.
To establish a remote control connection some adjustments in the Pro Tools®
application are required:
• Check for present MIDI I/O (Setup - MIDI - Input Devices)
• Configuration of PRE™ and MIDI communication channel
(Setup - Peripherals - Mic Preamps)
• Channel assignment for each device (Setup - I/O … - Mic Preamps)
