Standard MADI Connections
If you have a standard MADI connection (not a DiGiCo Rack) to your SD9, you can set the SD9 to display the MADI with generic
signal names, i.e. MADI 1, MADI 2.. etc. through to MADI 56 or 64 instead of the usual rack style names. The naming does not
affect the signal, but makes routing signals easier.
STD MADI = 56 channel MADI
MADI 64 = 64 channel MADI
Console to Console routing
If two DiGiCo consoles are connected together using MADI, it is possible to route audio between them. The Port that is connected to the
second console should be defined as a Standard MADI Connection.
Unrouting All Outputs
All outputs to the selected port can be unrouted at once by pressing the unroute all outputs button below the cards graphic and selecting
yes in the warning pop-up which appears. "Copied" audio is not unrouted by this action.
Note that this will cancel all routing created in the channel screens and cannot be undone.
Splits & Sharing
In a multi-console system where Racks are connected with MADI and shared between two DiGiCo Consoles, only one of the consoles can
take control of the rack, with respect to Gain, Phantom Power and Pads. To overcome this, it is possible to place the SD9 into one of 3
states of operation; Isolate, Receive Only or Full Control.
Sharing is configured in the bottom right-hand corner of the window when the Splits & Sharing button is selected:
These three states can be set individually in the right column), on a per-rack basis (middle column), or globally for all shared racks (left
column).
Isolate : The SD9 will not communicate with the rack and therefore any adjustment of input gain or +48V switch will have no
effect on the rack settings
Receive Only : The SD9 will receive the rack’s existing settings but will not be able to control the gain etc on the racks.
Full Control : The SD9 will send its settings to the racks and change them accordingly.
