Mode - Solid State Logic MADI Bridge User Manual

MADI Bridge User Guide
MODE
The MODE menu allows you to set the Control Mode . The Control Mode setting is required when
AES user and control bits are to be transported between devices on the Dante network.
N.B. On older design MADI Bridge devices the MODE button is labelled U .
To enable the pass-through of AES user and control bits the MADI Bridge must be set to PCM 32
encoding within Dante Controller. Changing the encoding setting is detailed in the
section of this guide.
N.B. When set to 32-bit encoding the audio remains 24-bit. The additional 8 bits are used to
transport the user and control bits from the AES10 signal.
Pressing the MODE menu button brings up the Control Mode page. If 32-bit encoding is enabled
then pressing the SELECT encoder cycles through the available options ( SSL , AES10 ).
SSL mode is for use with SSL devices such as the
●
Alpha-Link LIVE - control data is transferred in the upper
audio channels
N.B. For SSL Control Mode (and any other manufacturers'
control modes using higher audio channels and user bits for
control) all audio channels must be routed one-to-one
between the two MADI Bridge devices.
AES10 mode enables transparent pass-through of the user
●
and control bits from the signal
If the MADI Bridge is set to PCM 24 encoding the Control Mode
will be fixed to None . No user or control bits will be passed
through.
