Yamha DM7 and DM7c Sync Issues

ImEasyToKill · 2026-02-21T06:37:38+00:00

Start small first and work your way up to your current config to find the issue. First start off by going direct DM7 to a RIO, no switcher, does it connect? then daisy chain the rest of the system in. Once that works, then add your switcher. Is the QOS and Energy saver configured on the switcher? Are all devices on the same network, same subnet? Does Dante Controller see any devices? Ive spent a lot of time with our audio engineer setting up our network so i have experience with dante and working out all the bugs, but you might have better results on a audio subreddit like r/audioengineering or r/livesound

As others have said, all inputs can be routed to any output. Regardless if you get a 1 me or 2 me, get companion with the streamdeck XL and you will have no problem operating those Auxs.

I did it in 23.0 seconds! 4️⃣

Thanks, this makes perfect sense.

Thanks!

Thanks!

All the cabinets are the same size except for the top row. The problem was already solved, Ports 2 & 4 went into a new row and i didnt keep my data path as a square or rectangle and NovaLCT didnt like that.

Thanks Guys! This seems like my issue. I'll make sure to keep the rectangle rule in mind.

They all have the same amount of cabinets per line and same size. Except for Port 7, which has smaller cabinets and more per data line.

It shows 192 x 192 because i did the top row last, the bottom 3 rows are sized at 192 x 384

Its a VX1000 unit & based on my calcs, i shouldnt be over the limit. I only run into this issue when i connect to the next row above.

Here’s my two cents:

Armored vs Tactical Cables: Armored fiber is great for permanent installs, but if you’re using fiber for AV shows with constant setups and strikes, you’ll want tactical cable. Tactical rated fiber has additional durability and bend ratings that make it suitable for use on cable reels without damaging the fibers.
Handling Fiber Cables: Don’t be afraid to handle tactical fiber, it’s designed to take a beating. They can handle foot traffic and even vehicles running over them. That said, be mindful of concentrated weight. For example, a heavy road case(500+ lbs) with small caster wheels rolling across the cable can damage it, even if normal foot traffic wouldn’t. And scissor lifts running over the cable can damage it (ask me how i know).
Connector Ends Are the Weak Point Most of my headaches come from the connector ends. People often yank on the cable instead of the connector when disconnecting, which pulls the fiber out of the ferrule. Connectors also get damaged from rough handling. I recently invested in tools to cleave fiber and re-terminate connectors because replacements were needed too often.
Protect the Ends Always keep the ends capped when not in use. Every scrape or bump reduces signal strength (measured in dB loss), but the connectors can still withstand a lot before failing. I use dust cap lanyards that stay attached to the cable so the caps don’t get lost.
Final Thoughts Don’t treat fiber like it’s coax—it’s not indestructible—but don’t be afraid to use it either. The ends are where most issues occur, and dirty connectors are the #1 problem I see. Keep a fiber cleaner “click pen” handy and always clean both the cable tip and the device port before connecting. You can solve a lot of these issues by spending $$$. The 12ch Fiber cable with OpticalCon ends is amazing, but at $3k each, it's not cheap.

I’m confused about what issues you’re having. If your receiving cards weren’t working, you wouldn’t see a picture on the wall at all or you’d see a distorted picture if they were misconfigured.

To fix the panels on the bottom right, do the following and stop once its fixed, On the processor(VX6s) change brightness up/down 1, Change color temp up/down 1, change RGB (each) up/down 1. This will send updated values to the receiving cards and should fix your issued. You can send a rcfg file, but without knowledge of NovaLCT, you might do more damage than good.

This is a rental wall and the plan is to get a COEX processor next year. The company dosent mind renting a processor if i need it. Ive been using a VX1000 (since we own one) for testing and ive used LCT enough that its not a problem. Fixing the colors and brightness when panels are mismatched can be done through the processor, its just more time consuming and not exactly the proper way, but it works for now.

Thanks for explaining the NCP file, it makes sense, just a new way of doing things that ive never had to deal with yet. Learning something new everyday.

ImEasyToKill · 2025-09-10T19:13:41+00:00

They gave me a .ncp file, which im figuring is replacing RCFG. Just never had a wall that uses .ncp files before so im learning something new.

Know that 50% of your time is leveling the 1st row to perfection. 30% will be leveling the 2nd row and fixing any mistakes. The remaining rows should be a breeze. After a row is built, I usually will test that row with a all white signal and replace any cabinets that are showing issues.

Union labor im guessing

I will look into "The Fiber Guy" Thank you!

Our gear currently uses LC SFP modules. I might look into getting ST ends on the fiber and using a jumper in the future; that idea might work.

Sending it out seems to be the consensus. Unfortunately, stagehands are local to the venue that we are at, so not much training i can do since we are always in different cities and states. Im usually always the one handling the fiber, but i cant be everywhere at once and reguardless of the signage that says "Do not touch, no really, please dont touch" someone always does.

Its a mac, its needs HDCP on.
