Horus User Manual
Modules: MADI Sub-Menu
MADI 1 port comes as standard with each Horus. MADI 2 will be listed as “EMPTY” in Horus units
that are not fitted with the optional MADI expansion card
Mode: Sets the MADI mode to either “Standard” (56 audio channels) or “Extended”
(64 channels). To determine which setting(s) you are able to use, please
consult the user manual of the device you are connecting the Horus to in
order to see which (if not both) formats it complies with.
Physical Mode: Choose the input signal to be derived from the Coaxial or Optical MADI
connections at the back of the Horus unit. You can choose to use either or,
but not both at the same time. On the Output side, however, both Coaxial and
Optical outputs are always driven in parallel.
High Speed Frame: Choose between using Legacy or High-speed frames. For information on why
you might want to set this to something other than the default (High-Speed)
please consult the user manual of the device you are connecting Horus to.
Input: Enabling Visible to Ravenna will allow Ravenna to “see” and use the I/O
Connections (seen under the Auto-Connect utility). Use the Auto-Connect
utility to activate the I/O stream connections.
Output Sources: Users can literally route any input signal to any output module. Users can
also route any input signal to any combination of output modules. Routable in
blocks of 8 channels.
The example picture below shows a MADI output routing
Module AES 1: Routed to MADI channels 1 to 8
Module AES 2: Routed to MADI channels 9 to 16
Module AES 3: Routed to MADI channels 17 to 24
Module A/D 1: Routed to MADI channels 25 to 32
