Important: The console must be rebooted following a change in Sample Rate.
Clocking MADI Stageboxes
By default, stageboxes are set to clock from the incoming MADI stream. This is the recommended
setting. Other stagebox clock sync options are internal or external wordclock.
The clock source and sample rate can be set from the physical
setup controls on the rear of each stagebox. The current clock
source is displayed to the right of the SETUP area: if neither clock
LED is lit, the stagebox is running on its own internal clock.
Note: The wordclock output transmits the clock signal currently in
use by the stagebox (i.e. it is not a loop thru), depending on the
stagebox's clock source setting).
To change the clock source, press & hold REMOTE and CLOCK
simultaneously until the padlock flashes green. Press CLOCK until MADI is lit. The colour shows the
following:
● Red: no MADI from master console detected.
● Red/green flashing: a single master MADI port is locked (non-redundant cabling).
● Green: both master MADI ports 1 & 2 are locked (redundant cabling).
To change the sample rate of the stagebox, unlock the controls as described above then use the
RATE button to cycle through the available options.
Note: Only 48 x1 and 48 x2 (96 kHz) clock rates are currently supported.
Note: If running at 96 kHz sample rate (48 x2), the ID field must be set to 1-32.
The controls will return to their locked state after a few seconds.
Daisy-Chaining MADI Stageboxes
Stageboxes running at 48 kHz sample rate can be daisy-chained on a single MADI stream, allowing all
64 channels of the MADI protocol to be utilised. With the controls unlocked, use the ID button to
toggle between channels 1-32 and 33-64.
● Connect the MADI Out from the console or Blacklight Concentrator to the MADI In of the first
stagebox (ID 1-32).
● Connect the MADI Out from the first stagebox to the MADI In of the second stagebox (ID 33-
64).
● Connect the MADI Out from the second stagebox to the MADI In of the console or Blacklight
Concentrator.
● Repeat the above steps for the second set of MADI ports if connecting redundantly.
Daisy chaining MADI Stageboxes is only possible at 48 kHz.
Refer to the System Examples section below for further information.
Please note: When daisy-chaining two MADI stageboxes, MIDI is not supported on the second
stagebox in the chain.
AES/EBU Connections
All AES/EBU connections on the Live console's local I/O and D32.32 stageboxes have sample rate
converters (SRC's) available. These are enabled via the console's local/MADI I/O menu (MENU >
Setup > I/O > Local/MADI Configuration).
Select the local I/O or D32.32 stagebox in the I/O page and select the specific AES/EBU input or
output you wish to sample rate convert from the lower section of the screen.
