There are 16 channels of audio signal in Distribution mode.
The audio will circulate, but an intermediary MTX/MRX unit can replace
the signal.
The XMV is only able to receive.
When connected via YDIF, the XMV will send the audio signals without
change to the EXi8/EXo8 or the MTX/MRX. The audio signal will loop
unless the EXi8/MTX/MRX unit outputs a different signal or the output
is stopped.
If MTX/MRX units and other YDIF units are connected
YDIF patching is done in the “EXT. I/O” screen.
