MADI-XX

Analog and digital groups
When digital and/or analog input cards are installed, the external input bus may be assigned to
the upper and/or lower bargraph rows for monitoring. Bar groups are automatically created based
on the following rules:
With 2 analog input cards and a row selected as EXTERNAL IN, the meter scale for analog
signals is used for all 64 channels in that row.
With 1 analog input card (no second card) and a row selected as EXTERNAL IN, the meter scale
for analog signals is used but only 32 bars will be shown for that row.
With 1 analog input card and 1 digital input card, and a row selected as EXTERNAL IN, the row
will be split into 2 groups. If the first external input card is analog then the first group will show the
scale selected for analog and meter the analog channels. The second group will show the scale
selected for digital and meter the digital channels. The opposite applies if the first external card is
digital.
With 2 digital input cards and a row selected as EXTERNAL IN, the scale chosen as the digital
scale is always used.
Where ‘analog’ and ‘digital’ groups have been automatically created, the gap between the groups
can be controlled using Group Spacing from 0 to 100 pixels.
Tip: The scale assigned to a group can be any of the supported scales and need not necessarily match
the signal type.
Note: The scale for MADI out is always that chosen for digital signals, regardless of whether
MADI sources are selected from an analog input card or not.
