What are YDIF connections?
(Cascade mode and Distribution mode)
An MTX system has the following two connection modes. When connecting multiple YDIF devices
(when making YDIF connections), you must choose one of these modes. In either case, the system
can easily be expanded at low cost.
Use the “Device Configuration Wizard” dialog box to switch modes.
● Cascade mode
This allows up to eight channels of matrix buses to be shared between multiple MTX
units. Mic inputs can be expanded to a maximum of 32 channels, and eight mixes can
be created.
In cascade mode, YDIF is used as the internal bus; this means that an EXi8 on the input
side and an EXo8/XMV on the output side cannot be connected via YDIF.
● Distribution mode
This is used when inputting audio signals from an EXi8 to an MTX, when inputting/
outputting between MTX units, and when outputting from an MTX to an XMV/EXo8.
This allows a single audio signal to be distributed to multiple output destinations. An
MTX and XMV can be digitally connected via YDIF to easily construct a high-quality
system.
