SMPTE/MIDI/SOUND Interface for Martin Case controllers

The Case SMPTE/MIDI/AUDIO interface replaces the MQX-32M (Music-Quest) and S-

MPU/AT (Roland) interfaces for Martin Case controllers. The new interface is compatible
with the MQX-32M interface, but only for Martin Case controller usage.

1. Features

- 2 MIDI inputs. Both inputs can be used together. The MIDI codes will be merged.
- 2 MIDI ouputs. Both outputs will be used as MIDI through when MIDI is input on the
MIDI inputs. The MIDI codes will be merged with the MIDI codes generated from the
Martin Case controller.
- SMPTE INPUT and SMPTE OUTPUT.
- SOUND INPUT. The sound input signal will be filtered to 5 frequency trigger levels
(60Hz, 400 Hz, 1.5 KHz, 5KHz and 12KHz).
- VITC timecode (future use)
- LANC (future use)
- 2 relay outputs (future use)
- 3 analogue inputs (future use)
- 1 analogue output (future use)

2. Switch settings

- Address and interrupt settings compatible with MQX-32M interface:

3. Connecting

The external connections are the same as those used with the MQX-32M interface, 1 extra
sound input is added:
- MIDI: Use PCB (PCB Case, 4 x DIN connector PN: 62014500 and
ribboncable PN: 62206001) to connect the MIDI IN/OUT to the interface.
- SMPTE-IN : Use (wireset SMPTE, Case controller PN: 62203032)
- SMPTE-OUT : Use (wireset SMPTE, Case controller PN: 62203031)
- SOUND-IN : Use (wireset SMPTE, Case controller PN: 62203032)

4. Installing the interface

4.1 Opening the controller

Unscrew the frontpannel and remove it.

4.2 Installing the MIDI DIN connector PCB and XLRs (see fig next page)

- Install the DIN connector PCB with 5mm spacers, M3 screws and nuts to the bottom
of the controller.
- Install the SMPTE-IN XLR (3 pin female), SMPTE-OUT XLR (3 pin male) and
SOUND-IN XLR (3 pin female)
- Locate an empty slot to install the SMPTE/MIDI/SOUND interface. The empty slot
can be found either at the left side of the raiserboard (under the master DMX interface)
or at the right side of the raiserboard. Do not use the lowest connector at the left side
if you have a 370 ML mainboard (the interface will push against the DIMM memory
modules).
- unscrew the interface fixing clamp of the side where you want to install the
interface.
- Remove the Master interface if you use a slot at the left side. Do not change the
jumper settings of the Master interface.
- Set the dipswitches of the SMPTE/MIDI/SOUND interface:
o Switch 3 and 7 to ON, the rest to OFF
- Mount the interface with the M4 screw , the lock washer and M4 nut.
- Mount the interface fixing clamp.
- Remount the Master interface (if removed).

4.3 Checking the software

- Restart the controller.

- When the software is loaded, press SHIFT + SETUP (for 2 seconds).
- From the menu, select TEST UTILITIES --- CHECK HARDWARE:
o Select in the testprogram option J : CHECKING SMPTE
ƒThe SMPTE timer should start on 24 fr./sec. With the + and – key
you can test other framerates (25 fr/sec, 30 fr/sec and 30D fr/sec)
ƒIf a SMPTE signal is connected to the SMPTE-IN input, you can
test the SMPTE-IN input by pressing the space-bar.
ƒIf the test software gives following error: ERROR SMPTE-
DRIVER NOT FOUND, then go to 4.4.

4.4 Solving problems

If the above test procedure gives an error message, then something has gone wrong with the
installation :
- When restarting the controller, after starting operating system and before loading
the lightprogram, a box should appear:

SMPTE/MIDI Driver V3.0X

(C) R&D International 1998
MQX-32 INTERFACE READY

o When this box doesn’t appear, or only 1 box appears with the last line
indicating ROLAND INTERFACE ........, reinstall the latest version of the
software. The software can be downloaded from the web:
HTTP://www.martin.dk
o When the last line of the box indicates: MQX INTERFACE ABSENT, then
check the dipswitch settings of the interface (SWITCH 3 and 7 to ON, the
rest to OFF). If the dipswitch settings are correct, clean the goldplated ISA
contacts of the interface.
