4.2 PatchNet
PatchNet is a digital patching system that uses a MADI routing hub to connect sources
to destinations.

The following Euphonix devices provide a robust and complete I/O interface:
• The DM714 (AES/EBU-to-MADI) and MD704 (MADI-to-AES/EBU) converters
provide 26 channels of digital I/O.
• The AM713 (analog-to-MADI) and MA703 (MADI-to-analog) converters
provide 26 fixed-gain channels of analog I/O.
• The ML530 provides 24 remote, variable gain, analog, mic/line preamps that
can be controlled from the Strip on the console surface.
• The FC727 and FC726 provide 56 channels of digital format conversion.
Some equipment, such as the Euphonix R-1, the Sony 3348HR recorder, and some high
end consoles, offer a MADI interface. Most other equipment, however, (i.e., mics,
speakers, DAWs that support AES/EBU and vintage gear) must have their inputs and
outputs converted to and from MADI using the appropriate Euphonix converter.
PatchNet allows connections between the console and external devices in exactly the
same way as a conventional analog patchbay. The crucial difference is that once a patch
is made it can be saved and recalled with the Title.
NOTE: To clarify the use of the terms Inputs and Outputs in PatchNet, Device per-
tains to equipment other than the System 5-B console. Therefore, Device In-
puts refers to inputs to an external device, not the console.
