MADI
The MADI menu allows you to set the MADI settings. This is used to match the MADI parameters
with those of another MADI device for valid interoperability.
Pressing the MADI menu button brings up the MADI menu. With
the focus box selected to MADI Mode , pressing the encoder
cycles through the MADI mode options ( Auto , 64ch , 56ch , 32ch ,
28ch , 16ch , 14ch ).
The options available depend on the MADI sample rate.
●
MADI sample rates of 192 or 176.4 kHz allow 14 or 16
channel mode
●
MADI sample rates of 96 or 88.2 kHz allow 28 or 32
channel mode
●
MADI sample rates of 48 or 44.1 kHz allow 56 or 64
channel mode
●
Auto mode will detect the format of the incoming MADI
stream and display the channel number
●
Auto mode will display ERROR if the channel mode cannot be determined
Legacy (SMUX) format MADI at 192, 96 or 88.2 kHz is not supported.
N.B. It is not advised to use two devices with auto-detect modes
at either end of a MADI link.
Turning the encoder clockwise moves the yellow focus box to the
SRC option. Pressing the encoder toggles the sample rate
converters on and off.
In the MADI SRATE window pressing the encoder has no
function. The MADI sample rate is derived from the primary clock
input – see CLOCK and SRATE menus.
The fourth focus window shows MADI R State as displayed in the
REDU menu.
N.B. The MADI Tx continues to function when a MADI Rx signal is not received. While this is a
perfectly usable state for some scenarios, the units error flagging will treat this as an error as there
is no MADI Rx signal. When in this state:
●
The front panel will show an error as there is no valid MADI Rx signal
●
The unit will not lock the front panel buttons
●
The unit's OLED will not enter screen saver mode
●
The Monitoring feature will be unavailable for all signal points: MADI In, MADI Out, Dante In
and Dante out
