14. Configuring the HDSPe MADI
14.1 Settings Dialog
Configuring the HDSPe MADI is done via its own settings dialog the app HDSPe Settings. The
mixer of the HDSPe MADI, TotalMix FX, can be opened by starting the app Totalmix.
The HDSPe's hardware offers a number of helpful, well thought-of practical functions and op-
tions which affect how the card operates - it can be configured to suit many different require-
ments. The following is available in the 'Settings' dialog:
Configuration of digital I/Os
Synchronization behaviour
State of input and output
Current sample rate
Any changes performed in the
Settings dialog are applied imme-
diately - confirmation (e.g. by exit-
ing the dialog) is not required.
However, settings should not be
changed during playback or rec-
ord, as this can cause unwanted
noises.
Use the drop down menu Proper-
ties For to select the unit to be
configured.
Use the tab About to see the cur-
rent driver version and firmware
version of the card.
Sample Rate
Used to set the current sample rate. This is the same setting as in the Audio MIDI Setup, just
added here for your convenience.
MADI Out
Defines the format of the MADI output signal. MADI can be a 56 or 64 channel signal.
96 kHz
These Double Speed sample rates can be transmitted as native 96K Frame, in case connected
devices support this format. For technical reasons 176.4 kHz and 192 kHz are always transmit-
ted as 48K Frame (S/MUX4).
MADI In
Defines the input for the MADI signal. Optical relates to the optical input, Coaxial to the BNC
socket. Auto Select works as automatic input selection, in case only optical or coaxial is present
as input signal. AutoSelect also enables redundancy operation. If the current input signal fails,
the other input will be used immediately, provided a valid signal is found there.
