Interfacing to Maestro
Two MADI inputs are provided on the rear panel of the Maestro chassis.
These inputs are labled MADI IN-1 and IN-2. MADI IN-1 is used for Back-
ground signals A, B, C, and D, each input supports 16 audio channels as 8
AES pairs. MADI IN-2 is used for Audio Mix Over signals A, B, C, & D,
each also supporting 16 audio channels as 8 AES pairs.
It is not possible to share the Background and Mix Over inputs on a single
MADI converter box. It is possible to use a Sonata AES-to-MADI converter
for only the background signals while using the Maestro rear panel AES
connectors for Mix over signals (see
Figure 2 ). However, a Sonata AES-to-
MADI converter or an Apex router with MADI connections is required for
full 16 channel support for either background or mix over signals.
