CHAPTER 1: Overview

Introduction

The M.1k2 is a 16 port MADI router. It provides routing of whole ports down to single channel level offering a 1024 by 1024 crosspoint matrix.

You can distribute MADI signals en bloc in a port matrix and you may also create your own MADI stream using the channel matrix. PolySync™ provides the ability to use different clock sources on individual ports. So the router may be divided into single ‘clock groups’ that can run at different sample rates.

Port redundancy may be applied to have a spare signal that will be used when an input signal breaks. Two extra matrices may route serial data and MIDI data - that is embedded into the MADI signal independently from the audio signal.

CHAPTER 4: Operation

Introduction

This chapter describes the basic operation of the device. Note that throughout this manual, the abbreviation FS refers to sample rate or sample frequency. So, when dealing with scaling factors, the following sample rates can be written as:

• 44.1 kHz = 1 FS; 88.2 kHz = 2 FS ; 176 kHz = 4 FS

• 48 kHz = 1 FS; 96 kHz = 2 FS; 192 kHz = 4 FS

Global Control

The control on the right of the front panel indicates the power supply. Power switches are on the back panel:

Power 2 Switches

Enable / disable power supply.

PSU 1 & PSU 2 2 LEDs (green): indicate the status

of both power supply units

LED OFF = Power supply inactive

LED ON = Power supply active

LED blinking 4 times per second = The power supply was active, and is now inactive. Whether this is a fault state depends on the circumstances.

If both PSU LEDs are blinking and the fan is blowing at full speed, the FPGA is being programmed. This only happens during reboot after an update.

The green LEDs (PSU 1 & PSU 2) indicate that a working power

supply is connected to the power supply unit. Note that an unlit LED does not guarantee that the device is free of voltage. To ensure that the device is completely disconnected from mains voltage, the power chords must be disconnected.

DirectOut Technologies

CHAPTER 4: Operation

Device State & RESET

As most of the system information is available in the GUI (or a telnet shell) only, the basic system state is indicated by the LED “ STATE”.

If the device can’t be reached via network an emergency recovery may be executed using the RESET button (see „Appendix A“ on page 22).

STAT E LED (green) indicates

current system state.

LED ON = controller is idle (normal operation)

LED “heartbeat” = controller is idle (normal operation)

LED blinking once per second = factory default network setting is active

LED blinking 4 times per second = unsaved

conﬁguration data, device will return to idle state after saving to the ash memory.

RESET Push button

Press and hold >5s for emergency recovery.

The behaviour of the LED “STATE” may be conﬁgured in the GUI

(see the “Software Guide”).

CHAPTER 4: Operation

Clocking

The M.1k2 may use a variety of clock sources: internal (44.1 kHz /

48 kHz), word clock, video (PAL / NTSC) or a speciﬁc MADI input

port. The system may be operated with one clock source only or may use different clock sources at a time (PolySync™). That means that one can use a bunch of ports with clock source ‘A’ while another portion is clocked by clock source ‘B’.

The selected clock source is output at both word clock outputs.

VIDEO IN BNC socket (coaxial)

connect video reference signal here (black burst PAL or NTSC; the video standard is detected automatically).

WCK IN BNC socket (coaxial)

connect word clock here.

WCK OUT 2 x BNC socket (coaxial)

connect here to receive word clock output signal.

75Ω LED (yellow): indicates the termination

status of word clock and video input.

LED ON = termination enabled LED OFF = termination disabled.

Sync (Video) LED (green): indicates the sync

status of the incoming video signal

LED ON = signal locked LED OFF = no signal present

LED ashing = signal present, not locked.

Sync (WCK) LED (green): indicates the sync status

of the incoming word clock signal

LED ON = signal locked LED OFF = no signal present

LED ashing = signal present, not locked

Appendix A

Emergency recovery

There is one static network conﬁguration which you cannot modify,

it is called ‘Factory preset’. If you somehow managed to create a dysfunctional set of network settings or cannot reach the device for other reasons, you can always return to the factory preset via the front panel.

Procedure: Press the RESET button on the front panel for about

5s. As soon as you press the button, it will start ashing rapidly. If it stops ashing, the factory preset has been activated. You can then

access the device via the initial IP address (10.0.0.24).

The LED STATE indicates the operating condition:

LED Operating condition

Constant on The controller is idle (normal operation).

Heartbeat The controller is idle (normal operation).

Blinking once per second

The factory default network settings are active.

This state should only be active when

conﬁguring the device for the ﬁrst time, or

after the RESET button has been pressed.

You can conﬁgure the network in Conﬁguration → Device → Network settings.

Blinking 4 times per second

There is unsaved conﬁguration data.

After the changes have been written

safely to the ash memory, the state

LED returns to the idle state.

Installing / Replacing I/O modules

Three different modules are available to ﬁt in to the two slots of the

M.1k2. If necessary the modules may be replaced or swapped executing the following steps.

Requirements:

• I/O module

• Screwdriver (Phillips 1)

The installation of the module does not require to open the device. The module is inserted at the front side of the device.

ESD (Electrostatic Discharge)

The components of the module may be damaged by electrostatic

discharge. Observe the precautions (e.g. the use of an antistatic

wrist strap) for the handling of parts that are susceptible to electrical discharge.

1. Remove all cables from the device.

2. Loose both phillips screws at the left and right side of the blind

plate using the screwdriver.

3. Remove the blind plate or module at the front side of the de-

vice.

As the device must not be operated with an opening, you may want to keep the blind plate in case of deinstallation of the module.

4. Unpack the module from the protective bag. Touch the module

at the metal plate only.

5. Insert the module with the pins ahead into the guide rails and

put it softly into the device. To connect the pins of the module

with the backplane of the device smart pressure is needed ﬁnally.

6. Fix the metal plate of the module screwing both screws in the

front panel.

Howto-Network

The following guide aims to familiarize with basic information to setup a TCP-IP network. Some terms and techniques are explained to

conduct you through the ﬁrst steps.

Terms

IP Address - Address of a device within your local network. Must be

unique. Example: 192.168.74.15 or 10.0.0.24

Gateway - Address of the network router. When connecting only two devices ‘peer to peer’, use the ip address of one device if it is needed to be declared. Example: 192.168.74.1 or 10.0.0.20

DNS - Address of Domain Name Server. If you are using a network router with internet access the IP address of the router can be used

here. One may deﬁne a second DNS for use once the ﬁrst one fails.

Example: 8.8.8.8

Network router-device that handles the trafﬁc within a network.

Often used with integrated ADSL modem. Not necessary to setup a peer to peer connection between two devices only. Has IP address (Gateway).

DHCP - Dynamic host conﬁguration protocol. It is used to assign

address parameters automatically to devices that are connected to a DHCP server. Network router often act as DHCP server.

Network Mask - a bitmask that splits the network into two parts

• Network contingent: ﬁxed - identical for all devices

• Device contingent: variable - unique for each device, deﬁnes

the number of available addresses within the network

The network mask (like the IP address) contains of 32 bits and is often expressed by decimals. The result of two binary calculations

deﬁnes both contingents.

Example:

IP address

1100’0000 1010’1000 0100’1010 0000’1111

19 2.16 8.74.15

AND network mask

1111’1111 1111’1111 1111’1111 0000’0000

255.255.255.0

network contingent

1100’0000 1010’1000 0100’1010 0000’0000

19 2.16 8.74.0

IP address

1100’0000 1010’1000 0100’1010 0000’1111

19 2.16 8.74.15

NAND network mask

0000’0000 0000’0000 0000’0000 1111’1111

255.255.255.0

device contingent

0000’0000 0000’0000 0000’0000 0000’1111

19 2.16 8.74.15

24 bits are already set for the network contingent, leaving 8 bits (28 = 256) left for the variable device contingent. The smallest ad-

dress 192.168.74.0 deﬁnes the network and the biggest address

192.168.74.255 is reserved. So there are 254 different IP addresses available (192.168.74.1 - 192.168.74.254).

DirectOut Technologies

Appendix D

In a network environment each device (computer, printer, D.O.TEC® M.1k2…) needs its own and unique IP address. This can be achieved by a manual setup or by using a DHCP server within a network.

The use of a DHCP may ease up the administration of a network.

However, if ﬁxed and known addresses are a need, it is helpful to

set up a network manually.
