Power Supply
The MADISW has 2 internal switched mode power supplies wired together in a redundant
configuration. During normal use, both supplies will provide power to the unit, although should a
fault develop, one supply is capable of powering the unit.
PSU 1 – Shows the status of Power Supply 1.
PSU 2 – Shows the status of Power Supply 2.
Should either of the LEDs illuminate red, the unit should be sent back to the factory for repair.
Clock Status
Shows information about the status of the word clock distributor circuit.
Unlock – The Word Clock input is unconnected, the signal level too low, or the clock signal is outside
of the detection range of the unit (44.1kHz-96kHz). The MADISW is internally terminated so if
parallel connections are being made ensure there is no other termination on the signal path.
Lock – The Word Clock input is valid and within the accepted ranges.
GREEN – Signal present at 44.1/48kHz.
YELLOW – Signal present at 88.2/96kHz.
Please note that the MADISW is a switcher and not a processor, so the clock signal found in the
distributor circuit is not multiplexed into the outgoing MADI signal, nor will the unit strip clock from
any incoming MADI signal. This indication is for the word clock sub-circuit only and not an indication
of MADI sync. There is no requirement to use this word clock distributor if an alternative system is
available, although the switching core will attempt to switch on a clock edge if the signal is available.
See “Technical Info” for more information.
Channel Source
The channel A and B input source for the MADISW can be either electrical or optical format. If an
optical signal is detected, the unit will automatically switch to this input, otherwise the coaxial BNC
input is selected.
BNC – The MADISW channel input source is currently the BNC coaxial socket. Illuminates red if no
signal is detected at the connector, otherwise illuminates green.
OPTICAL – The MADISW channel input source is current the SC Fibre connection.
Output Mode
Indicates the current routing strategy for the configurable sections of signal flow.
See “Modes of Operation” for further details on this and the LED indication.
