even numbered ports may be left unused (Empty), leaving the panel with only
the main channel audio (channel A). See Figure 6.3.
Note: It is not necessary to define a block of panels as consecutive odd numbers. For
example, ports 1,3,9,11,51 could be defined as panels, with all the other slots
unused or used for other purposes if required.

6.5.2 Configuring audio over Optocore/ProGrid MADIs
Optocore/ProGrid MADIs have the advantage of allowing fully flexible audio
routing.
Optocore/ProGrid interfaces allow each channel of the MADI to be routed
individually to any channel on any destination node. The AES streams do not
have to be routed and configured in pairs. The ProGrid equipment allows fully
flexible routing and it is possible to mix close packed mono and conventional
stereo pairs on one MADI interface. It is the routing matrix in the ProGrid
equipment that is used to get the main panel port to the A channel of the AES
interface.
For example, if ports 1,2,3,4,5,7,9,11… are defined as panels in EHX, the
ProGrid must be used to ensure that the channels 1,2,3,4,5,7,9,11… are routed
to and from the A channels of the AES interfaces.
Because of the free routing capabilities of the ProGrid, the routing of panel data
is totally free format so it is possible, for example, to define stereo panels where
1. Set
card
type
2. Set alternate ports to
panels
To configure binaural audio on V-series panels on a MADI card in EHX go to:
EHX>Hardware>Cards and Ports.
This example shows how to configure ports for audio streamed in pairs, A and B.
Note that alternate ports have been set to accommodate paired audio streams.
