how it works

One of the two MADI input signals is routed to both
MADI outputs. Depending on the settings the input se-
lection is triggered manually (by a push button or by a
GPI contact) or automatically (by a trigger condition).
Trigger conditions are:
• loss of carrier (no input lock)
• loss of BLDS signal
The inputs can be prioritized for revert when the signal
is regained after a loss. Additionally the selection of an
input may by forced by a GPI contact.
External control is offered by four GPIs and the output
signal state is monitored by four LEDs and four GPOs.
The BLDS signal for enhanced signal observation is
generated by a BLDS Generator and inserted into the
MADI stream by a DAW. The artifical design of the
control signal enables detection of signal loss or cor-
ruption. An automated and inaudible switch-over is ex-
ecuted within one sample.
