Connecting External Devices Before Making MADI/REAC Connections Connected Channels for MADI and REAC You can input up to 64 channels to the MADI IN connectors on the S-MADI. The connected channels vary depending on the settings of the CH OFFSET and CH MODE switches, and the REAC SPLIT OUT setting. You can make the settings from 1 through 6 shown below. fig.channel-chart.
Connecting External Devices About Connection Cables Observe the following points with respect to the cables used for connections. • Never use cables with damaged or torn coverings. • Never step on cables or subject them to undue stress. • Never wind cables too tightly or bend them double. Along with the points just described, also observe the following points for specific cable types. Coaxial Cables (75 ohm, BNC connectors) • No single cable should be longer than 100 meters.
Connecting External Devices Connecting MADI/REAC Devices Connection Example 1 : Connecting Digital Snake and MADI Device This sets up a digital snake as a stage unit and connects, via the S-MADI, a digital mixer equipped with MADI input and output. (This performs mutual MADI and REAC conversion.) Connect the stage unit (in this figure, an S-4000S-3208) to the REAC MAIN connector on the S-MADI.
Connecting External Devices Connection Example 2 : Dividing Output from a MADI Device to M-48 units You can configure a system that adds an M-48 live personal mixer to a live mixing system that has MADI output. You can also position an M-48 at Front of House for use as an output device providing monitor sound. Signal routing to the M-48 units on stage is performed by the S-4000D (splitter and power distributor). Connect the S-4000D at stage side to the REAC MAIN connector on the S-MADI.
Connecting External Devices Connection Example 3 : Connecting a V-Mixer As a Monitor Console You can add a V-Mixer to the system in “Connection Example 1” for use as a monitor console. Connect the REAC A connector on the V-Mixer to the REAC SPLIT OUT connector on the S-MADI, and connect the REAC B connector to the S-4000D. * When these connections are made, you can make settings of M-48 remotely from the V-Mixer.
Connecting External Devices Connection Example 4 : Long-distance Transmission of Optical Signals (1) Using an optical cable for the MADI connection enables long-distance transmission. In situations such as when the recording room is located away from the Front of House or you are transmitting audio from a hall/stadium to an outside broadcasting van or the like, use optical cables. * Some MADI recorders require dedicated MADI interfaces for connection with external equipment.
Connecting External Devices Connection Example 5 : Long-distance Transmission of Optical Signals (2) “Connection Example 4” is for recording a concert or the like, but as shown below, you can also make connections that do not go through a mixer. When you record the sound only, with no speaker output, place the digital snake near the sound sources and connect the recorder via the S-OPT units and S-MADI.
Connecting External Devices Connection Example 6 : Configuring a 64-channel Input/Output System Using Two S-MADI Units You can configure a system having 64 inputs and 64 outputs by linking two S-MADI units and connecting S-4000S units to each one. * When the connections shown here are made, the following four types of input/output configurations for the S-4000S become necessary.
Connecting External Devices When making connections described here, set the modes and switches as shown below. Note that the first S-MADI (at the top of the figure) and the second S-MADI (at the bottom of the figure) have different CH OFFSET settings. fig.mode-set6.eps 1st (upper) MADI MASTER MADI IN 1-40 2nd (lower) 41-56(64) 64CH BNC * When CLOCK SOURCE is set to [MADI] or [WORD CLOCK], the S-MADI is automatically set to be the REAC master device.
About the Remote Controller Notes for Serial Connections * Use the accessory RS-232C cable of S-4000R for connection. If it's necessary to use longer or shorter cable, please purchase RS-232C cable (D-Sub 9pins/male-female/ straight type). * It is recommended to use a cable of 15 meters or shorter. * Connect S-4000R or computer to S-MADI, not to Digital Snake.
