● 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.
