7.3 ROUTE Menu
The [ROUTE] button opens the routing menu. It is used to create routings by first
selecting an output stream with the [OUT] encoder and then assigning a MADI signal to
it from any of the twelve physical input ports (full stream routing) or the four matrices
(channel block or individual channel routing) by turning the [IN] encoder.
Full Stream Routing
Full Stream Routing describes a fully transparent MADI connection between an input
and at least one output port. This type of connection refreshes the signal from the input
electrically but keeps all of its original data and timing information. This means that as
long as a signal is detected, it is passed on, regardless of its sample rate, or the sample
rates of any other input, or the internal clock of the MADI Router.
To create a routing, follow the steps below:
1. While on the IDLE screen, press the [ROUTE] button
- As an alternative, you may also turn the [OUT] encoder.
2. The screen changes to STREAM ROUTING and a red cursor at the
bottom of the screen indicates the currently active output port.
3. Rotate the [OUT] encoder to the desired output port.
4. Start rotating the [IN] encoder left or right to select the source for the
connection. The cursor now moves along the input icons. While it moves,
the patches are immediately activated.
