Page 6: Chapter 1: Overview Introduction
CHAPTER 1: Overview Introduction The M.1K2 is a 16 port MADI Routing System. It provides routing of whole ports down to single channel level offering a 1024 by 1024 crosspoint matrix. You can distribute MADI signals en bloc in a port matrix and you may also create your own MADI stream using the channel matrix. -
Page 7: Feature Summary
(84 V to 264 V AC / 47 Hz to 63 Hz / safety class 1) Applications M.1K2 can be used for distribution and creation of whole MADI streams, routing of single audio channels between MADI streams and independent routing of embedded serial data and MIDI data. -

Page 16: Network Integration
CHAPTER 3: Installation Network integration To set up your DirectOut M.1K2 initially (or after a reset) you need a working IP connection with the controller of the device. M.1K2 is delivered with a fixed IP address (10.0.0.24). So first you will have to change the network settings of your computer to setup the IP connection. - Page 17 After setup log in and check the firmware version (go to ‘Misc -Version- System Information’). If a newer firmware is available, go to ‘Configuration- Device-Firmware Update’ and perform a firmware update. The latest version of the firmware is available on the M.1K2 product page at www.directout.eu. M.1k2 Hardware Guide - Version 1.3...

Page 21: Clocking
CHAPTER 4: Operation Clocking M.1K2 may use a variety of clock sources: • internal (44.1 kHz / 48 kHz) • word clock • video (PAL / NTSC) • a specifi c MADI input port The system may be operated with one clock source only or may use different clock sources at a time (PolySync™). -
Page 22: Remote Operation
To use the USB port as virtual serial port a serial USB driver (for Windows®) has to be installed on the computer fi rst. The driver is available on the M.1K2 product page at www.directout.eu. See „Appendix F - USB Serial Driver Installation“ on page 36. -
Page 23: Chapter 5: Troubleshooting And Maintenance
