Rack Connections
With a Rack selected in the left hand port selection list, the window will change to look something like the image below, depending
on the cards installed in the connected rack. The graphic shows the 6 available cards/slots, 4 input & 2 output.
In order to use the rack, the on-screen contents of the rack must match the cards physically installed in the rack connected. There
are two ways of achieving this :
Manual Conforming of Rack :
Select each card and manually select the appropriate card in the Card/Slot Type drop down menu in the lower section of the
window. Once the correct card type is selected, the Label at the bottom the selected card will turn green, indicating the card type
matches the card installed in the rack. If the Card Type name is Red, then there is a mismatch, and the error should be corrected
by selecting the correct card type.
Automatic Conforming of Rack :
Just below the rack view section of the window is the auto-conform all button. Pressing this button will correctly select the
correct card for each slot of the connected rack. Once complete, all of the Card Labels beneath each slot should turn green.
It is also possible to auto-conform on a card-by-card basis. With a single card selected (by touching any of the sockets on that
card), press the auto-conform button next to the Card/Slot type button selector in the lower section of the window. This will
automatically match the Card/Slot type for the connected rack.
Copying Audio and Listening to Copied Audio (MADI Recorder Setup)
Audio from one or two D-Racks can be copied to the MADI Port 3 Output by selecting the incoming Port(s) in the Ports list and
using the Copy Audio To drop down menu. For example, if you want to copy D-Rack 1 and/or D-Rack 2 Audio Inputs to a MADI
equipped recorder connected on Port 3, select Rack 1 in the ports list and then select Port 3 from the Copy Audio To drop down
menu. Then repeat the procedure for Port 2 copying this to Port 3 as well.
For 56 Ch Standard MADI,the 32 inputs on Rack 1 and the first 24 inputs on Rack 2 will be copied to Port 3 and can be recorded as
necessary.
For 64 Ch Standard MADI,the 32 inputs on Rack 1 and the 32 inputs on Rack 2 will be copied to Port 3 and can be recorded as
necessary.
In addition, by connecting the recorder's MADI Output to the console's MADI 3 Input, the playback can be monitored in the same
channels as the original source material. Just press the Listen To Copied Audio button to monitor playback and press it again to
return to monitoring the live sources from the rack.
