Quick Start - RME Audio ADI-6432R BNC User Manual

4.2 Quick Start

Configuration starts with choosing the MADI input, BNC or optical.
The state of the input signal is
displayed by a total of 38 LEDs.
Shown are active input, automatic
input selection, receiver state, Sync,
56 or 64 channel format, 48k frame
or 96k frame, and audio data on a
stereo basis. The Sync LED shows
the synchronicity between input
signal and external/internal clock, or
between the active inputs.
In the AES INPUT STATE section, each of the 32 inputs has its own SYNC LED. One LED per
(stereo) input indicates audio information within the data stream. An input signal in the range of
60 kHz to 100 kHz will turn the DS LED on. An input signal in the range of 162 kHz to 200 kHz
will turn the QS LED on.
The source and frequency of the unit's clock is configured in the CLOCK SECTION. The but-
tons CLOCK let you step through the options external clock (AES, MADI, word) and internal
clock (44.1 or 48 kHz). The button STATE sets the range for the internal, but also the external
sample rate. Selecting DS will result in 88.2 and 96 kHz, selecting QS sets 176.4 and 192 kHz.
The MADI output signal can include 56 or 64 channels (FORMAT). The FRAME button switches
the MADI output into native Double Speed mode (96K), in case internal or external clock allow
this mode to be activated.
The ADI-6432 can be remote controlled by MIDI commands. The button REMOTE is used to
select the source of the MIDI remote control commands, and also the destination for the ADI-
6432's request replies. The standard MIDI ports or the MADI input and output can be chosen.
LOCK KEYS allows to switch off all buttons. This way the ADI-6432 can be secured against
accidental operating errors.
The ADI-6432 remembers all settings before switching off, and sets them automatically when
switching on the next time.
