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.
However, we don't want to hold you back from reading this manual, as it includes a lot of impor-
tant and useful information.
The following information is important to know for a successful usage of the unit:
• The alpha numerical input displays of the eight outputs always show the real state. Selecting
a different input via the Up/Down keys, both display and routing change immediately.
• The 64 dot matrix shows the configuration of the selected preset. So when stepping through
the presets the matrix display serves as preview.
• Directly after loading a preset (Recall) both matrix and alpha numerical displays show the
REAL state. Changing the routing via the Up/Down keys does not cause a change in the ma-
trix display. The changed channel displays get marked with a dot, to indicate a setting differ-
ent from the formerly loaded preset (and with this from the matrix display).
• The preset 0 can not be edited. It interrupts (disconnects) all connections, thus operates like
a MUTE functionality.
• The preset NONE (no number displayed) is no preset, therefore does not react on Save and
Recall. In this setting the matrix shows the current routing instead of the currently selected
preset. Changes via the Up/Down keys can then be monitored in real-time in the matrix dis-
play.
• To prevent accidental operating errors, the keys STORE and RECALL react delayed. For the
specific function to be executed, the keys have to be pressed at least for a second.
The MADI Bridge remembers all settings before switching off and sets them automatically when
switching on the next time.
