X16 MADI Merge Unit Revision MM2006-1
3.3 Connecting up your X16
3.3.1 Mains power
Make sure that your IEC power connector is wired correctly (see 1.1
Mains Cable ).
Fit the IEC cable to the rear power connector on the X16, making
sure that it is fitted securely and the cable is stress free.
3.3.2 MADI Inputs
The four MADI input connections on the X16 use optical SC hous-
ings and are located on the rear panel of the unit. See
3.2 X16 Rear
Panel . If using the X16 with multiple M16 devices then optical cables
will be routed from the transmit (Tx) SC housing of the M16 to one
of the MADI input connectors of the X16.
Carefully remove the cover from the duplex SC housings on the X16
rear panel. This will reveal two optical connection points. One is la-
belled In# (where # represents inputs 1, 2, 3 or 4) and the other is
labelled Outputx (where x represents outputs A, B, C or D.)
NOTE: Take care to store the connector cover in a safe place.
Take the optical cable from the M16, or other device, and carefully
insert the mating connector into the receive (In#) connector housing
on the X16, making sure that the locating key on the cable connector
is aligned with the locating slot on the receive (In#) connector hous-
ing. Once correctly inserted, the optical connector should lock into
place. Repeat this process for each input required.
Note: Always work in a sequential order starting from MADI In1 and
working your way to MADI In4. It is not a requirement however, to
use all four input connectors.
NOTE: Confirm that the optical connector is securely locked in
place and that it is correctly located in the receive (Inx) connec-
tor.
3.3.3 MADI Outputs
The X16 provides four optical SC connectors and four coaxial BNC
connectors on the rear panel for output connectivity. See
3.2 X16
Rear Panel . These are grouped into pairs with one SC connector
and one BNC connector being available for each output group. Spe-
cific operation of each output group (OutputA, OutputB, OutputC and
OutputD) is dependant on the selected operating mode of the X16.
See
3.5 X16 MADI Merge Operation .
To connect to the optical SC housings, repeat the procedure ex-
plained in
3.3.2 MADI Inputs , but fit the optical SC connectors in one
of the Outputx connector housings.
