Remote control, monitoring and configuration scheduling
Although the MADI-xx is designed to be used as a stand-alone monitor it may also be used with
control and monitoring software to monitor and configure multiple units over a network.
The optional Windows PC software (SOFT-xx) provides multiple frame integration, automated
control, event logging, configuration scheduling, real time diagnostics and unlimited user setups.
It also acts as a desktop meter bridge by rendering analog and digital audio meters and alarms to
screen for multiple frames.
Channels can be named for ease of use and associated with alarms and analog or digital meters
as required.
Other optional networked monitor accessories are available to further enhance the monitoring of
multiple audio streams in multi-channel control rooms.
For example, the ALARMS-xx remote alarm reads up to 32 channels of alarm data from a
single MADI-xx or AM-xx frame.
The unit has front panel LED indicators which show each type of alarm condition for each
channel. ALARM-xx units may be easily cascaded to monitor more channels.
REMOTE-xx is a 1U hard wired remote control panel which replicates the front panel keys to
allow MADI-xx or AM-xx to be mounted away from the main operational position.
Both REMOTE-xx and ALARMS-xx can be connected via LAN or RS422.
Audio level and alarm data may also be distributed over a LAN to other devices that can render
audio meter bargraphs and alarm status information to screen and the protocol used is available
by request.
Available accessories include audio input breakout cables for converting from XLRs (or
BNCs in the case of unbalanced AES/EBU) to 25 way and 37 way D connectors.
