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.
