15
Mute buttons
: this button allows you to mute the output signal on channel 1/2 or on channel 3/4.
When the button is red, mute is enabled – otherwise disabled.
6.4 Digital Section
Digital Out section
: here you can select the source for the optical and coaxial S/PDIF output It can
either be
from OUT 1/2
or
from OUT 3/4
, depending on the selection. The MAYA44 XTe S/PDIF
output is capable to send out professional (
PRO
) and consumer (
CON
) status bits, depending on the
selection. Some digital devices will only process either one of the two signal types on their S/PDIF
input.
Digital In section
: allows you to select the digital input source. When this is set to
Loopback
, the
digital input signal will be internally taken from the S/PDIF transmitter – this means that you can
internally record and process 1:1 copies on a pure hardware level inside the MAYA44 XTe
hardware. The recommended and default setting is
External
, as it processes the signal from the
physical coaxial S/PDIF input from MAYA44 XTe instead. Below that, the
status
area displays the
current S/PDIF input signal state.
6.5 DirectWIRE
What is DirectWIRE?
DirectWIRE is a driver technology, developed by ESI, which can be used for routing audio streams
internally within applications using EWDM Audio MIDI Drivers exclusively developed by ESI.
With the DirectWIRE router, an application can record from other application’s audio outputs
without external wiring or any loss of data when they are running at the same time.
DirectWIRE also allows you to easily rip any audio stream in real time by transferring data thru
DirectWIRE from MP3s, live On-line Broadcast and On-demand content, and more.
DirectWIRE is not available under Mac OS X.
DirectWIRE Panel
Click on
DirectWIRE
on the MAYA44 XTe control panel. The DirectWIRE dialog as shown below
will appear. DirectWIRE digital virtual wiring technology, developed by ESI, routes audio streams
internally within applications using standard audio drivers such as WDM, ASIO and MME, even
when they are running at the same time.
