6. First Usage 6.1 Quick Start The user interface of the MADI Bridge is characterized by a clearly structured architecture and an unambiguous labelling of the front and rear sides. The device can thus be used easily with- out a manual, because numerous displays show the state of the device in a strictly logical way. -

Furthermore, on request the complete status is send back, which includes all front panel displays and key states. Each MADI Bridge can be programmed with its own ID. This allows to remote control multiple units, even via the same MIDI channel. A de- tailed description of the MIDI commands can be found in chapter 13. -

2 km. Single mode allows for much longer distances, but it uses a completely different fibre (8 µm). By the way, due to the wave-length of the light being used (1300 nm), the opti- cal signal is invisible to the human eye. User's Guide MADI Bridge © RME... -

3348 (digital tape machine of the first MADI generation) becomes unreadable when passed through the MADI Bridge. Fortunately this problem was easy to be fixed. The inputs 5 and 6 of the MADI Bridge can be made compatible to the 3348 by internal jumpers. -
