The right section of the control panel windows shows the status and the control features for the
output channels. The layout is very similar to the input section (described in the previous section).
The main part of the display is the Output Level Meter for each channel. Above that the Control
Panel displays automatically if an external device such as the EX8000 is connected to one of the
E.D.I ports. Below the level meter, controls for each specific channel are provided (MME device
selection for playback, M.D.I output channel selection). A detailed explanation for each section
starting from top follows.
Port Selection
The 32 output channels of the MaXiO XD system are grouped into 4 sections (ports) with 8 output
channels each. For each group of 8 channels (each port), you can select either the corresponding
E.D.I output (1 to 4) or the channels of the M.D.I port by clicking on the OUT PORTx label. When
you change the selection of a port, the same change will be made for the input channels.
E.D.I Device Detection
The MaXiO Control Panel will automatically detect any device connected to a E.D.I port. For
example, if EX8000 is connected to E.D.I port 1, you can control its features by double clicking on
the blue EX8000 text. A separate window will be opened.
MME Channel Mapper
The MaXiO XD system driver provides the MME device MaXiO Stereo Wave (SPDIF/PCM) that
can be used for recording and playback of stereo signals. The MME Channel Mapper section in the
MaXiO Control Panel allows you to assign the I/O channels that will be used by this MME device.
You have two options to select the I/O channel for the MME device. You can click on the arrow
button ( ) and then select the channel in the menu that will appear or you can click on the
individual icon ( ) under each channel.
The MME Channel Mapper has no influence on the multichannel MME device MaXiO Multi Wave
or on the ASIO driver ASIO 2.0 -MaXiO.
M.D.I Analog and S/PDIF Output
The MaXiO PCI/PCIe host card provides support for two analog output channels and a digital
S/PDIF output made available via a device connected to the M.D.I port of the card. For example,
