Introduction

INTrODUCTIONMADI Bridge is an interface between a Routable Audio IP Network and MADI (AES10). SSL Network I/O products useAudinate’s Dante Technology to transport Audio, plus discover and configure multiple devices on the Network. UsingAudinate’s Dante results in seamless and reliable interoperability with 3rd party Dante products. For more informationsee Audinate’s website: http://www.audinate.com/

With 64 channels per Bridge (@ 48kHz) and up to 512 channels per 1GB network link, Dante is fully scalable and capableof providing routing channel counts from tens to thousands and beyond using standard IT infrastructure. Redundant PSUs,MADI and IP Network ports mean the Bridge is built for uninterrupted operation, keeping critical devices and audio pathsfunctioning throughout the system. In addition to the inbuilt clock redundancy options in Dante controller, the MADIBridge also includes a pair of redundant sync inputs for use as a self-redundant Dante Grand master clock.

The SSL MADI Bridge features a front panel headphone socket (with rotary level control) and inbuilt headphone monitorrouting, to replace traditional patch bay routing and fault finding functionality with equivalents in the IP Audio domain.Simple front panel controls facilitate routing mono or stereo paths from MADI In, MADI Out, Dante In or Dante Out directlyto the headphones. A front panel OLED screen provides signal present metering, selectable to show four points in thesignal chain: MADI In, MADI Out, Dante In and Dante Out. GPIO connections allow the transfer of tallys and switchingfunctions across the same network as the Audio.

Hardware Connectivity

POwErMADI Bridge includes redundant PSU with IEC connectors, either supply can individuallypower the unit. Ideally, these should be connected to separate mains supplies to provideexternal connection redundancy.

DANTEThe Primary and Secondary Dante connections are provided on EtherCon connectors forthe user to decide whether ruggedised cable is appropriate. A pair of LEDs per port providenetwork information:

ACT flashes when there is network activity.

GB shows solid green when connected to a gigabit network.

The Dante Extension ports are connected to an inbuilt network switch and can be used toattach local IO, a control computer or any networked device.

Note: Dante Controller cannot be used on the secondary connection.

It is possible to set the Network ports in Dante Control to “Switched” mode rather than“Redundant” mode. While this is possible with MADI Bridge there is no need as theExtension Ports provide this functionality without the loss of redundancy.

MADIThe two ports, Primary and Secondary, function as either one redundant pair or may beused in split mode – the In and Out ports are labelled for convenience when usingindividual cables. The MADI interface is via duplex SC connectors and uses multimodefibre (62.5/125µm or 50/125µm). A pair of diagnostic LEDs per link indicate the followingconnection information:

VAL lights green when a valid MADI signal is present or red when not.

ACT lights green on the active port in the redundant pair.

CLOCKA pair of automatic failover clock inputs (A and B) is provided for the TDM (Time DivisionMultiplex) side of the unit – these can accept HD or SD video in addition to Word Clock.The inputs are unterminated so each is provided with a Thru port which may be used toadd termination (a pair of 75 ohm terminators is included) or to daisy-chain additionaldevices. The unit can also be slaved to Dante PTP (Precision time protocol). A Word Clockoutput is included so that MADI devices can be slaved to the incoming Video or Network(PTP) clock, if required.

See page 15 “Dante Controller Basics: Clocking Scenarios” for additional information.

GPIO4 General Purpose opto-coupled inputs and 4 General Purpose relay outputs allowembedding and de-embedding of logic signals across the network.

Note: This feature will be available in a future firmware release.

See Appendix D, page 20 for pinout information.

Software Features

The Front panel interface is designed to be intuitive to allow access to any function that needs to change using minimalbutton presses. Each menu has its own individual radio button that navigates to the desired page on the OLED. The otherfront panel control is the SELECT encoder; which can be rotated, pushed or pushed-and-held.

INFO MENUS

The Info menus are accessed by individual buttons to instantly navigate to the desired settings page on the OLEDDisplay. These Menus are:

LOCK – Front panel lockout and device information MON – Metering and headphone monitoring

LOCK

The LOCK Button is dual function: it both locks the front panel and displays the info screen on the OLED Display. MADIBridge automatically locks-out the front panel after 60 seconds of the SELECT encoder or button inactivity. After a totalof 2 minutes of inactivity the OLED display enters a screensaver mode. To unlock the front panel: press and hold theLOCK button for 3 seconds. When already in the LOCK Menu, pressing and holding the LOCK button for 3 seconds willlock the front panel.

Note that the Monitor (MON) Menus remain accessible even whilst in front panel lockout.

Holding both the LOCK and Z buttons together for 3 seconds restarts the MADI Bridge.

➭ The Default Info page shows the following information:

• Bridge Device name in Dante Controller• Primary Dante connection IP address • Status: ERROR/OK

– ERROR: If there is an error in any setting the default screen willdisplay ERROR and the associated options menu will flash

– OK: There is no Error• Front LOCKOUT / MANUAL

– LOCKOUT: The Front panel is locked out– MANUAL: The Front panel is not locked out

➭ Turning the SELECT encoder scrolls through the info pages. Pri IP shows thePrimary Dante Network IP information.

➭ Then Sec IP shows the Secondary Dante Network IP information.

➭ Then Firm shows the Firmware version and its release date.

Unassigned / ExpansionINFO Menus OPTIONS Menus SELECT Encoder


MON (Monitor) Menu

Signal Metering and Headphone output. Pressing the MON button brings up the Monitor Menu page.

Rotating the SELECT encoder alters the parameter highlighted by the focus box on the left. Pushing the encoder scrollsdown through the 5 options. These options are:

• Headphone Volume• Signal Location • Channel Number• Format• Monitor Signal Present and Channel Name View toggle

➭ By default when entering the monitoring page the encoder will adjust the Headphone volume.

➭Pressing the SELECT encoder will move the focus to alter Signal Location.

Signal Location options are:• M-I MADI Input• M-O MADI Output• D-I Dante Input• D-O Dante Output

➭ When Channel Number Monitoring is in the focus box rotating the encodermoves through the channels this is displayed both by the channel numberand the focus box around the signal present meters.

➭ Format. When a Stereo channel is selected the left channel number isdisplayed and the focus box surrounds 2 signal present meters.

Channel pairs are always odd: Left, even: Right.

➭ When the Signal Present matrix is in the focus window, turning the SELECTencoder will toggle to the Channel Name view. Here the OLED will displaythe ‘Channel Label’ name as entered in Dante Controller. When looking atD-I or M-O the name displayed will be the channel label and the devicethat is routed to the unit across the network.

OPTIONS MENUS

The Options Menus include parameters to be changed from the front panel or feedback parameters that need to beknown when changing options within that menu. These Menus are:

MADI – The MADI Parameters rEDU – Redundancy Settings CLOCK – Clocking setup and feedbackSrATE – The Sample Rate Information

The Options menus are accessed by individual button to instantly navigate to the desired settings page on the OLEDDisplay

To access these menus the front panel needs to be unlocked.

Within each Options Menu the OLED display is divided into 4 focus sections:

The lower half of each focus box displays the option to be changed, the upper half displays the parameter it is currentlyset too. Turning the SELECT encoder moves the focus window across the 4 sections.

The action taken when pressing SELECT encoder differs depending on the colour of the box in the lower half of the focuswindow: a yellow option toggles through the parameters, a grey option requires a press and hold (3 seconds) to engagea detect routine or to force a special state and a solid black option indicates information only (SELECT has no function).

Error IndicationCritical ERRORS will cause the appropriate Options menu button LED to flash, this will indicate which menu needsattention or where information relating to the error’s cause can be found.

* REDU – If you are in SSL Mode (Dark Fibre) and both MADI inputs are valid.* CLOCK – If the MADI Bridge has swapped over to the Secondary Clock, when the external error has been found, a

manual detection of the primary clock is needed to force it to the primary clock.See page 12 “Software Features: Clock” for further information.

* SRATE – A mismatch on the Sample Rate Detection page.

Option


MADI

The MADI menu allows you to set the MADI settings. This is used to match the MADI parameters with those of anotherMADI device for valid interoperability.

➭Pressing the MADI menu button brings up the MADI menu. With the focusbox selected to MADI Mode pressing the encoder toggles through the MADImode options (Auto, 64ch, 56ch, 32ch, 28ch)

The options available depend on the MADI sample rate.

• MADI Sample rates of 96 or 88.2kHz allow 28 or 32-channel mode• MADI Sample rates of 48 or 44.1kHz allow 56 or 64-channel mode• Auto Mode will detect the format of the incoming MADI stream and

display the channel number• Auto Mode will display ERROR if the channel mode cannot be

determined

Legacy format MADI at 96kHz or 88.2kHz is not supported.

It is not advised to use two devices with auto-detect modes at either end ofa MADI link.

➭ Turning the encoder clockwise moves the yellow focus box to the SRCoption. Pressing the encoder toggles the sample rate convertors on and off.

➭ In the MADI Srate window, pressing the encoder has no function. The MADIsample rate is derived from the primary clock input – see CLOCK and SrATEmenus.

➭ The 4th focus window shows MADI R State as displayed in the rEDU menu.


rEDU

The rEDU (Redundancy) menu allows you to set up the MADI redundancy options when interfacing various MADI devices.In addition, it provides fault-finding tools to continuity-check the validity of MADI signals directly from the front panel, orinstigate Forced Override should you need to override the automatic redundancy mode.

➭Pressing the rEDU menu button brings up the MADI Redund Mode OptionsMenu. With the focus box selected on Redund Mode pressing the encodertoggles through the options: SSL, GPI, None.

• SSL – SSL mode is for integration with SSL consoles that turn off theMADI signal on the dormant port

• GPI – The Bridge defaults to the Primary MADI input but can be forcedto the secondary by triggering GP input 1 (general purpose input – seepage 18).

• None – The MADI ports are now in split mode. For channel allocation details,refer to the appendix on page 18.

➭ Turning SELECT clockwise moves the focus box to the MADI R state option,(pressing SELECT has no function). The option reports the MADI redundancystate and as such the MADI input bridged to Dante (Pri, Sec, Pri Error,SplitMode).

When in GPI mode this reports the GPI state. When in SSL mode this reportsthe active MADI port or, if both are active reports Pri Error, as one MADIconnection should be “dark”. In SSL mode, if neither port is active, the unitdefaults to the primary port.

➭ Turning the encoder clockwise moves the focus box to Pri MADI Rx state;this option is primarily for reporting only. However, for fault-finding andrecovery this can be used to force MADI to the primary port. Pressing andholding the encoder for 3 seconds will put the Bridge into Force PrimaryOverride mode.

While in this state the display will say Force and the rEDU menu LED willflash to warn that a Force mode has been enabled. Pressing and holding theencoder again for 3 seconds will revert to normal operation.

➭ There is also a Force Secondary Port Override option when focus is on SecMADI Rx. Again press and hold for 3 seconds to engage and revert tostandard.


CLOCK

The CLOCK menu allows you to set the primary and secondary clock sources and enable the Auto Detect routine for eachsource.

➭ Pressing the CLOCK menu button brings up this page, with Pri Clk in thefocus window pressing the SELECT encoder toggles through the clockoptions (Ext A, MADI, Dante).

The clock source selected in Focus 1 option is not enabled until the AutoDetect routine is enabled in Focus 2.

➭ Turning the encoder will move the focus window across the options. Withthe Primary Detect in focus pressing and holding the encoder for 3 secondsstarts the auto detect routine; this lasts for 20 seconds.

When Ext A is the Pri Source the Auto Detect will determine if the attachedclock is Video or Word Clock. If it is Word clock it will determine the samplerate if the source is video the video sample rate will need to be set in theSrATE menu

➭ Turning the encoder again moves the focus to Secondary Clock option,pressing the encoder toggles the option (Ext B, MADI, Dante, None).

None should be used to disable the secondary clock input if nothing isrequired.

➭ Again the secondary clock auto detect routine can be enabled by pressingand holding the SELECT encoder when Secondary Clock Detect is in focus.

With SRC On, the clocking options do not include Dante. The Dante clocking is determined in Dante Controller.


SrATE

Sample rate reporting and setting when using video sync.

➭ Pressing the SrATE menu button brings up the Sample Rate menu. If thePrimary Clock is MADI, Dante or Word Clock it automatically detects thesample rate using the Primary Clock Auto detect routine in the Clock Menu.

If the primary clock source is video this option becomes manual (signifiedby being highlighted yellow) – pressing the encoder toggles through thesample rate options (44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz and 96kHz).

➭ Turning SELECT moves the yellow focus box across the menus. If theSecondary Clock is MADI, Dante or Word Clock it automatically detects thesample rate using the Secondary Clock Auto detect routine enabled in theCLOCK Menu.

If the secondary clock source is video, this option becomes manual andpressing the encoder toggles through the sample rate options (44.1kHz,48kHz, 88.2kHz and 96kHz).

➭ With the focus box on MADI Info the encoder has no function, the MADI InfoSample rate now follows that of the primary clock sample rate.

➭ With the focus box on Dante Info pressing the encoder has no function,Dante Info reports the sample rate set for the Bridge endpoint in DanteController.

Critical Status reportingIf the Sample rates do not match, and SRC is switched off, the front panel will automatically change to Manual and theSrATE Menu will flash prompting you to come to that page to determine how to resolve the issue. (This will not happen ifSRCs are enabled.)


Dante Controller Basic Settings

When Using MADI Bridge with a Dante network all the Dante and other network settings should be set from Audinate’sDante Controller software (downloadable for OSX and Windows here: Dante Controller). Detailed instruction for thissoftware can be found in the Dante Controller Manual – this guide gives you some basics that will allow you to get started.

Registration with Audinate is necessary before files become available for download.

NETwOrK CONFIGEach Dante device requires an IP address for communication – both the Primary and Secondary Network Ports can be setto either DHCP or Fixed Addresses. In redundant mode the Primary and Secondary ports must be kept on separate networksor VLANS. This document covers the basics of connecting MADI Bridge to a pair of simple networks.

Please consult a network specialist for network design when considering more complex networks – particularly thoseincluding network redundancy schemes or in cases where QoS may be required.

Key things to help you with IP addressing:The Default OLED page in the LOCK mode shows the Primary IP address; in this way you will always be able to access thedevice regardless of what mode the network ports are set to.

If either (or both) networks does not have a DHCP server and the Primary or Secondary network ports are set to DHCP theneither (or both) will resolve to a link local address eg. 169.254.x.x. This will take slightly longer to be functional from apower-up state but will always work.

If using fixed addressing the primary and secondary ports need to be on different subnets.
