Patching
In a digital audio network such as YDIF or Dante that comprises the MTX/MRX 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-MRX Editor, settings for transmission/reception within the MTX unit are made in the
“MAIN” screen, settings for transmission/reception within the MRX unit are made in the “MRX
Designer” window, and settings for transmission/reception with external devices such as the XMV
or EXi8 are made in the “EXT. I/O” screen.
Settings for connecting the MTX/MRX’s analog output to the XMV’s analog input are also made in
the “EXT. I/O” screen.
By making patching settings for the MTX and 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 of the MTX.
External device settings can also be edited in the “EXi8,” “EXo8,” “XMV,” and “R/Tio” screens.
