Appreciate the diving into the intricacies that Yamaha failed to in their videos and user manuals, especially for those of us in the pre-purchase phase!

I had to do this on a show a few months ago where all our rios were booked and last minute we got told we had 10 show computers ( 3 content, 3 content backup, 1 music, 1 sting, 1 zoom call, 1 teams call) way away from my operator position. ran a cat5 into the wall and had that patched to ops and some usbDI's later show was flawless. saved a scene to the google drive after that configs DM3 for rio purposes.

Can you do a video about controlling qlab from the DM7/3? I know its possible I just can't find any concrete info about it.

Nice, just did this scenario using a DM3 as stage box but was using the inserts, this is way better and why I was searching YouTube for another way to do it.

Anybody know what “Remote Main” is in the patch window?

Nice! Do you think one DM3-D main LR out could feed another DM3-D into a channel pair, like a Dante cascade. I used to cascade O2R’s back in the day…

do you think this would work with any mixer that has dante? an A&H for example and use the DM3 as the Rio1608
