For more information about each of these audio inputs and outputs modules, please
refer to section “2.2.3. Audio inputs/outputs modules” of this manual.
4.2.1.2. “Internal Module Configuration” section.
“Internal Module Configuration” section of “Board Configuration” submenu allows you to
configure the general purpose inputs and outputs GPIO (both the physical contact relays and
the opto-coupled) that are available on the rear panel in the section of common inputs and
outputs of the AEQ FORUM (please refer to section 2.2.2.1 of this manual). It also allows to
configure the operation of the optional multi-channel AES10 MADI communications module
(please refer to section 2.2.2.7 of this manual; this module is available only by means of user
license) and the AoIP functionality.
IMPORTANT NOTE: MADI and AoIP (audio over IP) functionalities are not compatible, both
options can’t be active at the same time.
There are four distinct areas in this section:
1. MADI/AOIP: allows you to configure MADI and AoIP functionalities. The advanced
configuration menu of this optional module is accessed by clicking “Click to [CONFIG]”
and then clicking again on the “CONFIG” button that will appear. A window with 2 tabs
will appear (in order to change from one tab to the other the selected option must be
“Disabled”).
• MADI: is an optional communication module within the system common I/O
section (available by means of user license: see section 4.1.1 of this manual).
This is a bi-directional fiber-optic multi-channel audio link. The physical
interface is a transceiver and the implemented standard is AES10-2003. The
configuration options are:
o “Disabled/Enabled”: deactivates or activates the module.
o “Sync”: allows you to configure whether the console will use the
synchronism extracted from MADI link (“Slave”) or not (“Master”).
o “Used”: allows you to configure how many of the 64 mono channels
available are actually in use.
