The Sonata AES-to-MADI converter has an 8-position dual in-line package (DIP) switch that is located under a small cover on the rear panel. The cover must be removed to access the DIP switches. Grass Valley recommends that this cover should be in place during operation.
The Background C inputs are required to use full DVE function- ality with the Maestro product. The Maestro Channel Setup table includes a “Background MADI Expan- sion Yes/No” column. Select the “Yes” option when the Sonata AES-to- MADI converter is installed. Sonata Series — Planning and Installation Manual...
