● The [ROUTE] button opens the main routing page from which all MADI signals
can be routed in streams, individual channels, or in groups of 2, 4 or 8 channels.
● The concept of the patching operation is to address an output first.
Selecting an output is non-destructive and will not alter the current routing.
It should always be the first step when creating a patch. Conversely,
adjusting the input selector is destructive and changes the routing
immediately. A useful consequence of this mode of operation is that the
user can always turn the output encoder to toggle through channels and
ports to verify the current routing.
● The firmware should always be updated to the newest available version (see
Chapter 7.5.6). The firmware version is shown after powering on the unit.
6.2 Creating a Simple Routing
Connecting a physical input port to one or more physical output ports, regardless of
connector type, sampling frequency or channel count, is easy and straightforward.
1. Verify that you have a valid input signal (source) on the STATUS display
by checking if the icon of the respective input shows a small green
indicator, or that the LED next to the connector on the back panel is on.
2. Press [ROUTE]
3. Turn the [OUT] encoder in either direction to select the desired output
port
4. Turn the [IN] encoder in either direction to select the desired source port
5. Press [ROUTE] again to return to the STATUS display.
