What are YDIF connections?
(Cascade mode and Distribution mode)
An MTX/MRX 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.
Cascade mode cannot be selected if the MTX/MRX system includes an MRX unit.
● Distribution mode
This is used when inputting audio signals from an EXi8 to an MTX/MRX, when
inputting/outputting between MTX/MRX units, and when outputting from an MTX/
MRX to an XMV/EXo8. This allows a single audio signal to be distributed to multiple
output destinations. An MTX/MRX and XMV can be digitally connected via YDIF to
easily construct a high-quality system.
