Configuration and Operation of an 52/XR MADI Router 7.1.4 Linked 52/MB at a MADI Port If a MADI port was linked to an 52/MB MADI Breakout System, you are able to define the layout of the connected 52/MB device here. Basically, this part of the configuration is to make the whole configuration process easier. The 52/MB hardware itself must not be configured.
Series 52 - 52/XR MADI Router Manual 7.1.5 Configuring MADI Redundancy Slot 13 to 18 (and slot 34 to 39 in a 6 HU frame) can be operated in a normal or a redundant mode. If switched to redundant, a MADI port duplicates the signals of the corresponding port on the left side of the router backplane. Choose Enabled in the column Redundancy at the DSP Frame I/O to define the respective MADI port as redundant.
Configuration and Operation of an 52/XR MADI Router 7.1.6 Synchronisation Selecting the Audio branch, displays the synchronisation window. Here you can do refinements on the current device synchronisation. It is possible, to configure two independent synchronisation sources. Sync Source 1 is always meant to be the master sync source and is used by the system as long as it is available.
