Pass MADI subframes
All bits of a subframe are passed to the output transparently (including
proprietary bit assignments).
This setting is necessary when control data – for example to control a
microphone preamp – is present and should be passed on. However, since
individual channels may contain additional information such as the the grouping
of channels and their channel numbers, there may be problems if the receiving
MADI device decodes this information. This is not the case for RME MADI
devices and this setting should be switched on.
When using the matrix, it is important to note that embedded data is always
patched with the individual audio channels. Therefore it is important to patch the
audio channel containing the data to an output channel with the same channel
number (for example channel 56 for the “MIDI over MADI” feature of RME
devices). For further information about which channels are used, please consult
the manufacturer of the MADI devices involved.
New MADI subframes
Except audio, all input bits are ignored. Legal MADI bits, including a suitable
Channel Status Block are generated.
This setting removes all data except for the audio data itself and generates a
new MADI signal when using a matrix. This feature should be switched on if the
receiving device does not properly recognize the MADI signal from the Router.
7.5.4 Remote Operation
This mode is at the time of writing not implemented and required for a future extension
to the MADI Router.
7.5.5 Lock Device
Activating “Lock Device” with the [IN] Encoder secures the device from accidental
operation. It is possible to unlock the device by pushing
[SETUP] + [IN] + [OUT]
at the same time.
