Customer Requirements
Two MADI inputs are provided on the rear panel of the Maestro chassis,
numbered 1 and 2. MADI IN 1 is used for Background signals A, B, C, and
D, each supporting 16 audio channels as 8 AES pairs. MADI IN2 is used for
Audio Mix Over signals A, B, C, & D, each also supporting 16 audio chan-
nels as 8 AES pairs.
It is not possible to share Background and Mix Over inputs on a single
MADI converter box, but it is possible to use a Sonata AES-to-MADI con-
verter for only the background signals while using the Maestro rear panel
AES connectors for Mix over signals (see
Figure 17 ) and vice versa. How-
ever, 16 channels of audio can be embedded in the background video
sources; providing you with an alternative to using a MADI box for back-
ground sources if embedded audio is supported within your facility.
Embedded audio is not supported for Audio Mixer inputs.
