5.
DANTE (PRI/SEC):
Use this port to connect the unit to a DANTE network. Use a com-
mercially available Ethernet cable (at least CAT5) and connect it to the PRI (primary) port.
04.2.2 Verto MX
The connections of the Verto MX are explained as follows (from left to right):
1. Power supply: Connect the power supply here and lock it with the coupling nut.
Thus, the plug cannot slip out unintentionally.
2. MADI I/O (coaxial): Use these connectors for devices with coaxial BNC MADI.
3.
MADI I/O (optical):
Connect your optical fiber MADI equipment to these ports. Depend-
ing on the specification of your MADI equipment, this can be done either directly at
the device via the LC connector or via the included SC-LC adaptor.
4.
MIDI I/O:
Both the MADI and the DANTE data streams can be used to send and receive
MIDI messages. These are embedded in the DANTE or MADI data stream.
5.
WORDCLOCK I/O:
Transmit word clock to or from the Verto using these connectors.
We recommend setting the connected devices to „slave“.
6. DANTE (PRI/SEC): Use this port to connect the unit to a DANTE network. Use a com-
mercially available Ethernet cable (at least CAT5) and connect it to the PRI (primary) port.
04.3 Clocking (important!)
Generally, in a network of DANTE devices, at least one of them must be set to „master“.
Therefore set all devices connected to the Verto to „slave“.
If there are several DANTE devices connected to a network, then set your preferred de-
vice inside the DANTE controller to „Preferred Master“.
05. Operation
Operating the Verto series is simple. Connect the included power supply to the corre-
sponding connector on the back of the Verto.
Connect the ADAT (Verto 32 and 64) or MADI (Verto MX) devices to their respective
ports on the back panel. Lastly, connect an Ethernet cable (at least CAT5) to an existing
DANTE network or to a computer with DANTE Virtual Soundcard installed and the op-
tionally available DANTE Controller application (recommended).
