the MaXiO 032 breakout box provides two analog output channels and a digital S/PDIF output. The
M.D.I breakout cable that is supplied with the basic MaXiO XD system provides a digital S/PDIF
output but no analog output channels.
One channel pair each can be assigned to these analog outputs and to that S/PDIF output. The
button assigns the specific channel pair to the analog output channels, the button assigns the the
channel pair to the S/PDIF output. Alternatively you can assign the channels via the arrow buttons
( ) on the left side and the menu that will appear when you click on it.
Please keep in mind that you can use these outputs only when you are using the M.D.I breakout
cable (S/PDIF output, no analog outputs) or a M.D.I extension like the MaXiO 032 breakout box
(both S/PDIF and analog outputs).
5.3.1 Master Section
The Master Fader allows you to change the level of one final stereo mixed output signal. The level
can be set using the mouse, mouse wheel, or cursor keys.
You can select the output channel for the master signal by clicking on the red arrow left of the
MASTER label. Under it, the current selection will be displayed. The picture below shows channel
1/2 of Port 3 as selection. This output receives a mix of the 8 input channels from Port 1 and the 8
playback channels from Port 2 (check the description of the monitoring buttons in the next section
for reference). On this picture, the Control Panel is also configured to send out the master signal to
the S/PDIF and Analog outputs of the device / cable connected to the M.D.I port.
In many typical setups you would use output 1/2 of the first port (e.g. the first EX8000) as master
output. Via the monitoring buttons (see below) you can then mix all signals to this stereo output.
Monitoring Buttons
With the monitoring buttons under each channel (input and playback), you can enable monitoring of
the specific channel pair via the master output channel.
