CHAPTER 1: Overview

Introduction

The M.1k2 is a 16 port MADI router. It provides routing of whole ports

down to single channel level offering a 1024 by 1024 crosspoint ma-

trix.

You can distribute MADI signals en bloc in a port matrix and you

may also create your own MADI stream using the channel matrix.

PolySync™ provides the ability to use different clock sources on in-

dividual ports. So the router may be divided into single ‘clock groups’

that can run at different sample rates.

Port redundancy may be applied to have a spare signal that will be

used when an input signal breaks. Two extra matrices may route

serial data and MIDI data - that is embedded into the MADI signal -

independently from the audio signal.

CHAPTER 4: Operation

Introduction

This chapter describes the basic operation of the device. Note that

throughout this manual, the abbreviation FS refers to sample rate or

sample frequency. So, when dealing with scaling factors, the follow-

ing sample rates can be written as:

• 44.1 kHz = 1 FS; 88.2 kHz = 2 FS ; 176 kHz = 4 FS

• 48 kHz = 1 FS; 96 kHz = 2 FS; 192 kHz = 4 FS

Global Control

The control on the right of the front panel indicates the power supply.

Power switches are on the back panel:

Power 2 Switches

Enable / disable power supply.

PSU 1 & PSU 2 2 LEDs (green): indicate the status

of both power supply units

LED OFF = Power supply inactive

LED ON = Power supply active

LED blinking 4 times per second = The

power supply was active, and is now

inactive. Whether this is a fault state

depends on the circumstances.

If both PSU LEDs are blinking and the

fan is blowing at full speed, the FPGA is

being programmed. This only happens

during reboot after an update.

The green LEDs (PSU 1 & PSU 2) indicate that a working power

supply is connected to the power supply unit. Note that an unlit LED

does not guarantee that the device is free of voltage. To ensure

that the device is completely disconnected from mains voltage, the

power chords must be disconnected.

DirectOut Technologies

CHAPTER 4: Operation

Device State & RESET

As most of the system information is available in the GUI (or a telnet

shell) only, the basic system state is indicated by the LED “STATE”.

If the device can’t be reached via network an emergency recovery

may be executed using the RESET button (see „Appendix A“ on

page 22).

STATE LED (green) indicates

current system state.

LED ON = controller is idle

(normal operation)

LED “heartbeat” = controller is

idle (normal operation)

LED blinking once per second = factory

default network setting is active

LED blinking 4 times per second = unsaved

conﬁguration data, device will return to idle

state after saving to the ash memory.

RESET Push button

Press and hold >5s for emergency recovery.

The behaviour of the LED “STATE” may be conﬁgured in the GUI

(see the “Software Guide”).

CHAPTER 4: Operation

Clocking

The M.1k2 may use a variety of clock sources: internal (44.1 kHz /

48 kHz), word clock, video (PAL / NTSC) or a speciﬁc MADI input

port. The system may be operated with one clock source only or

may use different clock sources at a time (PolySync™). That means

that one can use a bunch of ports with clock source ‘A’ while another

portion is clocked by clock source ‘B’.

The selected clock source is output at both word clock outputs.

VIDEO IN BNC socket (coaxial)

connect video reference signal here

(black burst PAL or NTSC; the video

standard is detected automatically).

WCK IN BNC socket (coaxial)

connect word clock here.

WCK OUT 2 x BNC socket (coaxial)

connect here to receive word

clock output signal.

75Ω LED (yellow): indicates the termination

status of word clock and video input.

LED ON = termination enabled

LED OFF = termination disabled.

Sync (Video) LED (green): indicates the sync

status of the incoming video signal

LED ON = signal locked

LED OFF = no signal present

LED ashing = signal present, not locked.

Sync (WCK) LED (green): indicates the sync status

of the incoming word clock signal

LED ON = signal locked

LED OFF = no signal present

LED ashing = signal present, not locked

DirectOut Technologies

CHAPTER 4: Operation

Remote Operation

The M.1k2 may be controlled via an ethernet connection or serial

data input.
