To create MADI redundancy:
1. Switch on "enable MADI redundancy" in the coaxial tab of the INPUT section. The port will be
renamed to MADI Auto Input.
2. Create a routing from MADI Auto Input to any output.
3. If the device should also slave to MADI Auto Input, choose it as clock master in the CLOCK section.
4. Connect both MADI signals with identical audio.
9.3. AVB Input Streams
The AVB streams received by the AVB Tool are referred to as "input streams". For these streams, the
device acts as an AVB Listener .
To establish a connection between a talker and a listener, an AVDECC Controller is required. The AVB
Tool does not include an AVDECC Controller.
AVB input streams are monitored as follows:
Description Indicator Possible solution
Disabled grey Create connection with AVDECC
controller
Streaming/Receiving green
No Data red Verify proper talker configuration
SR Mismatch red Verify that the sample rates of talker and
listener are identical
Waiting yellow … Waiting for talker to be ready
Talker Fail red Verify proper talker configuration
No Bandwidth red Use faster network speed (1 GBit/s
instead of 100 MBit/s)
Domain Boundary red Reconnect all devices and reboot switch,
ensure only AVB switches are used
Internal Error red Reboot device
9.3.1. Change AVB Input Stream Size
Each of the eight AVB streams can have a size of 1-8, 12 or 16 channels in AM824 and AAF stream
formats, or 0 channels in CRF Media Clock stream format.
