Interfacing to Apex
MADI Input Mapping
The MADI inputs of the Apex router have a fixed channel assignment.
These channels can not be changed or remapped. However, the mode the
Apex router is running can change how the signals are addressed from the
control system.
The MADI inputs on the Apex router are hard wired into blocks or 32 AES
inputs, which correspond to the input cards. This means that a set of chan-
nels sent to the Apex router must align with the 32 AES paths on a given
input card. You cannot span across multiple input cards while using MADI.
In addition, the Apex router MADI input replaces the normal AES inputs
on the corresponding input card. You cannot mix normal AES and MADI
inputs on a given input card. If you leave gaps or empty inputs to the
Sonata converter, then those inputs will be dead and will not usable in the
Apex router.
Sonata to Apex Mapping Tables
In standard stereo mode the Apex will address the channels as shown in
Table 4 .
