19. Configuring the HDSP MADI
19.1 Settings Dialog
Configuring the HDSP MADI is done via its own settings dialog. The panel 'Settings' can be
opened by clicking on the hammer icon in the dock. The mixer of the HDSP MADI, TotalMix,
can be opened by clicking on the mixer icon in the dock.
The Hammerfall DSP’s hardware offers a number of helpful, well thought-of practical functions
and options which affect how the card operates - it can be configured to suit many different
requirements. The following is available in the 'Settings' dialog:
• Input selection
• Configuration of digital I/Os
• Synchronization behaviour
• State of input and output
• Current sample rate
Any changes performed in the
Settings dialog are applied
immediately - confirmation
(e.g. by exiting the dialog) is
not required. However, settings
should not be changed during
playback or record if it can be
avoided, as this can cause
unwanted noises.
The status displays at the bot-
tom of the dialog box give the
user precise information about
the current status of the sys-
tem, and the status of all digital
signals.
Quick Boot
All the card's settings described below are stored in a hardware memory, and are loaded im-
mediately after a power-on of the computer. In clock mode Master even the last used sample
rate is set. Directly after switching on the computer, a stable and predictable clock state is found
at the HDSP MADI's outputs. This advanced technology completely eliminates disturbing noises
and clock network problems during power-up or re-boot.
MADI In
Defines the input for the MADI signal. 'Optical' relates to the optical input, 'Coaxial' to the BNC
socket.
MADI Out
Defines the format of the MADI output signal. MADI can be a 56 or 64 channel signal.
96 kHz
Sample rates higher than 48 kHz can be transmitted using the normal 48K Frame, or using a
native 96K Frame at the card's output.
