Align the edges of the card with the guide rails inside the slot, and insert the card into the slot. Push the card all the way into the slot so that the connector at the end of the card is correctly inserted into the connector inside the slot. NOTE When connecting unbalanced cables to the [INPUT] connector, use a jumper wire to connect the “-” and “G” of the Euroblock.
About Dante This product features Dante technology as a protocol to transmit audio signals. Dante is a network protocol developed by Audinate. It is designed to deliver multi-channel audio signals at various sampling and bit rates, as well as device control signals over a Giga-bit Ethernet (GbE) network. Dante also offers the following benefits: • It transmits up to 512 in/512 out, for a total 1024 channels (in theory) of audio over a GbE network.
About Dante About redundant networks About Dante Controller A redundant network consists of two circuits, a primary circuit and a secondary circuit. Normally, the network operates on the primary circuit. However, if the primary connection is broken, the secondary circuit will automatically take over communications. Therefore, using a redundant network with a star topology would increase resiliency against unexpected network problems relative to a daisy chain network.
Quick Guide This section explains basic settings and connection procedures for constructing an MTX/MRX system using the MTX5-D. Some of the steps may not be necessary for your system; if so, proceed to the next step. Preparations Use MTX-MRX Editor to make the required settings before you actually install and connect the equipment. 1. Prepare a computer in which to install MTXMRX Editor. 2. Install MTX-MRX Editor in your computer. For details on installation, refer to “MTX Setup Manual.” 7.
Quick Guide 8. Make DCP settings. Assign the parameters of the MTX5-D to the switches and knobs of the connected DCP units. Here you can also specify the brightness of the DCP’s LEDs. For details on how to make DCP settings, refer to “MTX-MRX Editor User Guide.” 9. As necessary, make settings for devices other than the MTX5-D. For details, refer to “MTX Setup Manual.” 10. Specify and store a preset. You can use presets to change the volume of zones and the audio source to play (e.g.
Quick Guide On-site work (Settings in MTX-MRX Editor) Use MTX-MRX Editor to make adjustments for the entire system. 1. Connect the computer to the MTX5-D/XMV/ EXi8/EXo8 via a network switch. If you’re using only the MTX5-D, you can connect it directly to the computer. 2. Start up MTX-MRX Editor and load the project file that you previously created. 3. Power-on the MTX5-D. 4. Power-on the XMV/EXi8/EXo8 and the analog input amps. 5.
Various Procedures Recalling (switching) presets Using the scheduler With the MTX/MRX system, input/output port patching, matrix mixer settings, and the parameters of XMV amps within the same MTX/MRX system are stored together as a “preset” in the MTX5-D and in MTX-MRX Editor for recall when desired. Each MTX/MRX system can store 50 presets. MTX-MRX Editor is used to edit presets. The scheduler can switch presets or play music and sound effects from the SD memory card at the date and time you specify.
Various Procedures Connecting via the [GPI] connector GPI (General Purpose Interface) devices can be connected to the rear-panel [GPI] connectors. GPI allows a variety of control signals to be exchanged with external controllers or other devices. • Connection examples using the [GPI IN] connector Example: Controlling the MTX5-D from a switch box MTX5-D +5VDC +V CPU IN A/D 100k Example: Controlling the MTX5-D with a 10k ohm linear taper potentiometer.
Various Procedures Using the MTX5-D to play audio files saved on an SD memory card The MTX5-D can use commercially available SD memory cards to play back audio files such as music and sound effects without needing to connect a CD player or other audio device. The MTX5-D can play back audio files in either MP3 or WAV formats. Initializing the MTX5-D Here’s how to initialize the MTX5-D’s internal memory, restoring it to the factory settings. 1. Power-off the MTX5-D. 2.
Various Procedures 4. When initialization is completed, power-off the MTX5-D once again. 5. Set the rear panel DIP switches 7 and 8 to the “RESUME” position. 6. Power-on the MTX5-D again. The MTX5-D will start up in its factory-set state.
