Euphonix Max Air Mixing Console Operations Manual Quickstart to Common Tasks

The rst 24 devices coming into the fourth MADI input (in this case the second Digital
Format Converter) are patched to the 24 External Inputs of the console. Note that it is
also possible to patch these into channels: the router allows any patch output to be sent
to more than one source.
Assign External Inputs a Format and a Button3.7.2
Select 1. System from the Main Menu.
Select the 2. Externals tab.
Select 3. Sets 1–8
Set the format to 4. Stereo L R.
To assign Ext Mon Inputs 1 and 2 to Device 1 button as a stereo pair, touch the 5.
buttons labeled 1 and 2 in the rst row and touch Set Format.
Touch the 6. Device 1 button on the far left and name the device Off Air.
Repeat the steps above for all externals.7.
The system allows any combination of formats. For example, a 5.1 Dolby E monitor set
of six inputs could be assigned as a 5.1 format to device button 2.
NOTE: Regarding 5.1 formatting: Euphonix’ 5.1 formatting follows the post produc-
tion convention of L, C, R, SL, SR, and B (or LFE). If you choose to have the
channel order match that of the Dolby E format (L, R, C, LFE, Ls, Rs) you
can either cross-patch to the correct channels or proceed as follows to make
a 1:1 channel order. Select the rst two external input channels of the device
in question, select “5.1” in the Format Selector and then DE-select the C, SL,
SR, B buttons within the Format Selector itself. Hit “Set Format” and the rst
two channels are now 5.1L and 5.1R. De-select these two channels and se-
lect the adjacent pair. In the Format Selector box, de-select L & R and choose
C and B instead. Hit “Set Format”. The next two external input channels are
now 5.1C and 5.1B (a.k.a. LFE). De-select these two external input channels
and select the next two adjacent. In the Format Selector box, se-select C &
B and choose SL and SR instead. Hit “Set Format”. The last pair of external
input channels are now formatted to be SL and SR (or Ls, Rs, if you prefer)
and you have a true Dolby formatted 5.1 input which can be patched 1:1 from
the output of the decoder or monitoring tool.
