CHAPTER 1: Overview
Introduction
The M.1K2 is a 16 port MADI Routing System. It provides routing of whole ports
down to single channel level offering a 1024 by 1024 crosspoint matrix.
You can distribute MADI signals en bloc in a port matrix and you may also create
your own MADI stream using the channel matrix. PolySync™ provides the ability
to use different clock sources on individual ports. So the router may be divided into
single ‘clock groups’ that can run at different sample rates.
Port redundancy may be applied to have a spare signal that will be used when an
input signal breaks. Two extra matrices may route serial data and MIDI data - that is
embedded into the MADI signal - independently from the audio signal.
Doppelganger (Device Mirroring) allows one (or more) M.1K2s to be confi gured
to act as a slave to one master device. All confi guration data (crosspoints, port
confi guration, labels etc.) is synchronized continuously.
SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol (v1/v2) allows for monitoring of
essential device information such as power supply state; temperature; MADI
signal/synchronization state.
More features such as I/O labelling, snapshot and user management offer the
chance to personalize your setup all-embracing.
