  • Page 18 Operating Line Level differs from the default ex-factory settings of +18 dBu for 0 dBFS. Procedure for Hardware alignment: 1. Shut down your Hapi. 2. Unscrew all DA8 modules that need adjustment. 3. Pull gently out (5-7 cm is enough) to access the DIP Switches. There is one block of 4 dip switches per channel.
  • Page 19 Output Level to +24 dBu (since there is no 21 dBu hardware setting) Once this is set and the DA modules are screwed back in place. Power up the Hapi and go to the Hapi Setup Page>Module, select each D/A module for software calibration.
  • Page 20 Single mode fibers have a lower power loss characteristic than multimode which means that it supports longer runs but single mode fibers are more expensive. The multimode version (IOM-HAPI-MADM) is the most widely used optical MADI connection, but for fiber lengths of more than 600m Merging Technologies recommends to use the single mode version (IOM-HAPI-MADS).

    MADI (Module) A MADI module is available and can be fitted in one of the Hapi slots. It provides users with up to 64 channels of MADI I/O for use with the system. The signal sent to the MADI Outputs (both Coaxial and Optical are available simultaneously) are configurable in blocks of 8 channels and can be sourced from any other module in the Hapi.
  • Page 27 Enabled Hapi interface will reinvent how systems come together. Synchronization and Control information Audio is not the only information that can pass down the RAVENNA connection. Hapi is able to send sync and control information such as LTC/MIDI/RS-422 and GPIO down the same wire to and from the Hapi unit.
