Patching
In a digital audio network such as YDIF or Dante that comprises the MTX system, you will make
settings on the transmitting device to specify “which output channel/bus’s signals will be sent to
which channels of the digital audio network,” and make settings on the receiving device to specify
“which channels of the digital audio network will be received on which input channels.”
This type of patching mechanism allows the signal of one channel of the digital audio network to
be received by multiple devices.
In MTX Editor, transmission/reception settings for the MTX unit are made in the “MAIN” screen,
and transmission/reception settings for external devices such as the XMV or EXi8 are made in the
“EXT. I/O” screen.
Settings for connecting the MTX’s analog output to the XMV’s analog input are also made in the
“EXT. I/O” screen.
By making settings for external devices in the “EXT. I/O” screen, the parameters of an external
device can be edited in the parameter edit screen that appears when you click the port/external
device parameter recall button in the “MAIN” screen.
