CHAPTER 1: Overview CHAPTER 1: Overview Introduction The SPLIT.CONVERTER is a combined MADI format converter and signal splitter with four MADI ports. With one RU height, two redundant power supplies and a straightforward source selector it allows for instantaneous conversion or distribution of MADI signals.
CHAPTER 1: Overview Applications SPLIT.CONVERTER can be used to convert MADI signals in “mixed environments” or for distribution of MADI signals. Typical applications include: • Switching converter units between control rooms • Redundancy splitting/switching (manually) during recording or live sound applications.
We would like to remind you to please check carefully whether the failure is caused by erroneous configuration, operation or connection before sending parts for repair. page 8 of 24 SPLIT.CONVERTER Manual - Version 2.0...

DirectOut website: www.directout.eu. Intended Operation The SPLIT.CONVERTER is designed for the conversion and distribution of MADI signals (AES10) and other signals which meet the electrical specifications of MADI. WARN ING ! No compensation can be claimed for damages caused by operation of this unit other than for the intended use described above.

Note that an unlit LED does not guarantee that the device is free of voltage. To ensure that the device is completely disconnected from mains voltage, the power chords must be disconnected. page 16 of 24 SPLIT.CONVERTER Manual - Version 2.0...
MADI input (64 ch), connect MADI input signal here N OT E SC Ports may be equipped with multi-mode or single-mode modules. Mixed combinations offer the comfortable conversion between multi-mode and single- mode I/Os. See „Examples“ on page 19. SPLIT.CONVERTER Manual - Version 2.0 page 17 of 24...
CHAPTER 4: Operation Signal Routing All four MADI input signals are fed to a routing matrix where they can be distributed to any output. This allows the SPLIT.CONVERTER to convert and distribute MADI signals: Encoder PORT A (ABCD) Turn the rotary control to the desired position to select the desired input source for output A.
