11. Routing Matrix
11.2.2 Connect -> Matrix Multi Connect
This element is very similar to a “
”, but it allows you to control multiple cross points from a single
MF key, GPI or logic function.
The cross points are made to and from a range of sequential inputs and outputs. In the example below we have
defined a single input (address 0 = silence) to connect to 64 outputs starting from matrix address 129. Therefore,
this example will mute all 64 channels of a MADI port.
Other applications include re-routing MADI connections or performing multiple stereo connects. Note that if you
define a larger number of outputs than inputs, the inputs wrap around – for example, two inputs would be routed to
outputs 1/2, 3/4, 5/6 and so on within the sequence.
Matrix Multi Connect
Reference name for the element.
Condition
Assigns the control signal which will make the matrix connections.
Matrix Input
Enter the address of the first matrix input you wish to connect (see
;
address 0 = silence).
Number of Inputs
Enter the number of inputs in the connection range.
Matrix Output
Enter the address of the first matrix output you wish to connect (see
).
Number of Outputs
Enter the number of outputs in the connection range.
External
Select this checkbox if the matrix to be controlled is external (i.e. not within the system
frame).
External Protocol Type
If
External
is ticked, select the communication protocol type:
·
CAN over TCP/IP
- for sapphire, crystal, Nova29 or POWER CORE.
·
MNOPL
- for mc
2
/Nova73.
·
EmBER+
- for supporting EmBER+ devices.
EmBER+ Matrix Nr
When using
Ember+
, you must enter an Ember+ Matrix number (from
1
to
5
). This
references the
element (which defines the local consumer number,
external matrix type, matrix name, etc.)
Protect
When checked, the Matrix Multi Connects cannot be removed by any other system. For
example, if the cross points are visible to other controllers such as the NovaConnect
software, setting Protect will prevent these controllers from changing their status.
