6. First Usage
6.1 Overview & Basic Concepts
Connect a power cable to either of the MADI Router's AC inlets and flip the adjacent power
switch. The device will go into Standby or Power On mode, depending on the state that the
device was in when the rear switch was last turned off. This is indicated by the color of the
illuminated Standby switch on the front of the device - red for standby, white for power on.
When in Standby mode, pushing the Standby switch (inside the illuminated circle on the front
panel) will power on the MADI Router. Note: in standby mode, the connectors of the unit do
not send or receive any signal.
The following information is important to understand in order to successfully operate the MADI
Router:
● The device’s features are controlled with a set of four buttons and two rotary encoders
that can also be pushed. Throughout this manual, the buttons and encoders are
referred to as [ROUTE], [GANG], [PRESET], [SETUP], [IN] and [OUT].
● After powering on, the device shows the current routing status on the TFT display. The
buttons [ROUTE], [PRESET] and [SETUP] open different menus on the display.
Pushing one of these buttons several times leads back to the status display.
● The device has four I/O groups labeled A, B, C and D. On the display, inputs are shown
as a horizontal line of icons in the upper half of the display, ordered by group, then by
format: A Optical, A Coaxial, A Twisted Pair, B Optical, B Coaxial, B Twisted Pair, etc.
● Four additional inputs labeled “MX 1” to “MX 4” appear when turning the [IN] encoder
beyond the furthest right MADI input icon. They are used to combine audio channels
from several MADI inputs into up to four new MADI signals. See Chapter 7.3 for details.
● The outputs are shown likewise as a horizontal band in the lower half of the display.
Routings are shown as a line going from an input icon (upper half) to an output icon
(lower half).
● If the IDLE display is active, [IN] can be turned to inspect the signals at each individual
input in detail.
