4.3 Patch
The Patch View allows connections between the console and external devices in exact-
ly the same way as a conventional analog patchbay. The most significant difference is
that patches can be created then saved and recalled with the Title.
The Patch View implements a digital patching system that uses a MADI routing hub to
connect sources to the console and its destinations.

The following devices provide a robust and complete I/O interface:
• The Euphonix DM714 (AES/EBU-to-MADI) and MD704 (MADI-to-AES/
EBU) converters provide 26 channel inputs and outputs.
• The Euphonix AM713 (analog-to-MADI) and MA703 (MADI-to-analog) pro-
vide 24 fixed-gain channel inputs and outputs.
• The Euphonix ML530 provides 24 remote, variable gain, analog, mic/line
preamps that can be controlled from the Strip.
• The Euphonix FC727 and FC726 provide 56 channels of digital format conversion.
Some equipment, such as the Euphonix R-1, the Sony 3348HR recorder and some high
end consoles, offer a MADI interface. Most equipment, however, (i.e., mics, speakers,
DAWs that support AES/EBU and vintage gear) must convert to and from MADI using
the appropriate Euphonix converter.
