75-ohm Coaxial Cable with BNC connectors or Fiber optic cable for connection to MADI

3.3 Operation Requirements
The LT-MADI requires your Aurora converter to have Firmware Version 24 or above. This
should be verified prior to installing and configuring the LT-MADI card. To determine what
firmware revision your Aurora has, press the TRIM and POWER buttons at the same time with
the power to the Aurora off. If the LED flashes over the numbers 2 & 4 or above (i.e. 2 & 5, 3 &
1, etc.), then your unit is compatible with the LT-MADI. If pressing Power and Trim does not
cause any LEDs to flash, or causes a single number to flash, then your unit needs to be updated.
The Aurora firmware can be updated by a Windows PC or OSX Macintosh with a Lynx AES16
PCI audio interface installed, or via MIDI (note: firmware revision 13 or above is required for
MIDI programming). The Aurora firmware updater program is available for download from the
Lynx website at Support > Downloads. If your unit requires an AES16 to update because it has
firmware revision 12 or earlier, and you do not have access to one, there are two options for
customers within the USA and Canada:
• Option 1: Send the Aurora and LT-MADI to Lynx Studio Technology in California. We
will update the Aurora, install the LT-MADI and do a full diagnostic test within one day
of receipt. It will be return shipped via 2-Day Air.
• Option 2: Lynx Studio Technology will loan you an AES16 for updating the firmware in
your Aurora. For more information on the procedure and any questions, contact
[email protected] or call 714-545-4700 extension 206.
If you are outside of the USA or Canada, please contact your local distributor for
additional firmware update options.
