Modes of Operation
In order to maximize flexibility, the MADISW has several modes of operation built around varying
pre-set internal routing strategies. These modes can be set by entering the configuration mode and
selecting the routing required.
1)
Default Factory Routing – Input Sources are connected to Channel A and Channel B using
either the BNC or optical inputs (the optical source will take priority over the BNC). The
switched output will be available at both the Channel A and Channel B outputs, on both the
BNC and optical connections. For redundancy and distribution applications, the output signal
is also copied to the AUX 1 and AUX 2 BNC connectors. This is the standard switching mode
and maximizes the number of output feeds.
2)
Aux Mirror Inputs – Input sources are connected to Channel A and Channel B using either
the BNC or optical inputs. The switched output will be available at both the Channel A and
Channel B outputs, on both the BNC and optical connections. Channel A input is mirrored on
AUX 1 output and Channel B input is mirrored on AUX 2 output. This mode is useful for
recording or ‘split’ applications.
3)
Aux Distribution – AUX 1 and AUX 2 output connections mirror the AUX IN connector. This
mode may be useful in providing a split for returning a signal from a mixing console, for
example, to distribute a processing signal to a main and backup computer.
4)
Output A Mirror Inputs – Input sources are connected to Channel A and Channel B using
either the BNC or optical inputs. Channel A input will be permanently routed to the Channel
A output, whist the switched output will be available on the Channel B output. By leaving the
MADISW switched to channel B, this mode can facilitate a dual MADI format converter,
allowing stream conversion between coaxial and optical sources and inputs.
5)
A combination of the above.
