6.4.3 Connecting E-MADI 64 Audio (using Coaxial or Fiber
cable)
When you connect the external E-MADI64 Audio (using Coaxial or Fiber cable) to
the rear of theE-MADI64 card:
1) The sample rate and the number of configured ports is indicated by a
solid green LED on the front of the E-MADI64 card.
2) The red Error LED on the E-MADI64 card is turned off.
3) When the number of received channels differs from the number of
channels configured in EHX, the Channel LEDs on the front of the E-
MADI64 card flash green, oscillating between 2 types of port numbers.
4) When the received sample rate differs from the configured sample rate,
the Sample rate LEDs on the front of the E-MADI64 card flash green,
oscillating between 2 types of sample rates.
5) Audio passes into and out of the E-MADI64 card to the HX-Median
backplane.
6.5 V-Series Panels on E-MADI (Multi-channel Audio
Digital Interface)
The E-MADI card supports up to 32 V-Series panels over a suitable
infrastructure. To set up V-Series panels on MADI you need to:
Run EHX version 8.5 or above.
Configure the panel audio in the EHX software and the MADI software as
necessary.
Ensure that the panel is fitted with a V-Series AES options module (see V-
Series Panel User Guide; 4.2.2 V-Series main panel rear
connectors (AES 3) for more information.)
How the ports are configured in the software will depend on which MADI is used.
See below for details.
6.5.1 Configuring audio over MADI, the general case
Most third party equipment (e.g. RME, Lawo) treats the AES (Audio Engineering
Society) streams from a MADI as 32 linked pairs, A and B channel together. So
in the general case, the following strategy should be used to route the AES
streams:
In the card/port configuration screen in EHX, the panels should be configured to
the odd numbered ports (taking the first port as 1) of the E-MADI card. The
