INSTALLATION
Content of the Box
The unit was packed carefully. Nevertheless we recommend to check the
content directly after opening the package:
1 x MC-1.1+
1 x Power cable
4 x Rubber feet
1 x Manual
Placing the Device
The unit should be set up as closely as possible to the devices to which it
will be connected, so as to avoid excessive cable lengths. Use the 4 rubber
feets enclosed with the appliance and stick them symmetrically on the
bottom side of the unit to protect the enclosure and supporting surface
from being damaged.
The device can be mounted into a standard 19“ rack and will require 1 unit.
In this case, the rubber feet cannot be attached. Install the device so that
one unit of rack space is left free both above and below the device to allow
for sufficient ventilation! The mounting depth including the terminals is
160 mm/6.7“. Another 60 mm/2.4“ should be added for the required cables.
Additional slide-in rails on the rack inside are recommended for safe installation. This will also avoid long-term mechanical deformation of the housing.
The condition of the packaging material
and the device should be checked carefully
additionally. If there are any damages
please refer to SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS,
Initial Operation, and WARRANTY
REGULATIONS.
Before installing the unit the section
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS located
at the beginning of this manual
should be read carefully.
Never expose the device and
accessories to rain, moisture,
direct sunlight, or excessive heat
produced by radiators, heaters, or spot
lights! Sufficient air circulation in the
environment of the device must be ensured!
Wiring the AES/EBU and S/P-DIF Interfaces
Connect the AES/EBU interfaces with the help of balanced electrical
cables equipped with XLR connectors on both ends. The specifications
stipulate a specific cable resistance of 110
mation of this value when purchasing the cables).
Connect the coaxial S/ P-DIF interface with the help of unbalanced electri
cal cables equipped with cinch connectors on both ends. The specifications
stipulate a specific cable resistance of 75

Especially when working with high
AES3/11 clock rates well shielded
clock lines are imperative to avoid
increased radiation! Standard cables are normally useable for clock rates up to 50.0kHz.
Special shielded cable material should be
used for transfer of higher clock rates.
Since some manufacturers offer optimized
cables for the transmission of digital S/P-DIF
and AES3/11 signals, it is a good idea to ask
your retailer for specific cables.

Steps of Operation
1 First press on »MENU« or »SELECT« key enables the last selected function
within the last selected function menu. The corresponding LED is
beginning to flash.
2 Every press on »SELECT« button will select a new function within a menu.
The LED of the selected function flashs accordingly. After the LED stops
flashing, the funcltion is activated.
3 When the needed function is selected, do not press the switches again!
After a period of approx. 4 seconds the LED of the selected function stops
flashing.
The STATUS area is not accessible by using the »MENU« and »SELECT« keys,
because it only informs about different conditions of incoming signals.
Shut-Down of Outputs
All digital audio outputs are shut-
down during function selection!
After a function is finally selected and the
corresponding LED lights constantly again,
the digital audio outputs are activated for
signal transfer.

OPERATING THE MC-1.1+
MODE + AUDIO IN + SCMS Menus
These three function menus are offering access to the whole functionality
of your MC-1.1+.
The »MODE« menu allows to select the general conversion option as uni- or
bidirectional conversion or the signal splitting mode.
Within the »AUDIO IN« menu you select for the digital audio formats
which should be converted. This menu acts in dependency of the »MODE«
menu. The system makes sure that only useful combinations of conversion
modes and proper audio formats are accessable. Therefore both menus act
together in different combinations.
The SCMS« menu (SCMS = Serial Copy Management System) let you encode
the S/P-DIF optical + coaxial output signals with three different SCMS status.
The menu »STATUS« is for control of the S/P-DIF inputs only. It is not
accessable for adjustments.
General Operation Procedure
The menu of your MC-1.1+ is strictly organized aligned to general handling
procedures when inserting the MC-1.1+ into your studio‘s data stream. Thus,
you can split up all of the necessary adjustments in three steps, which leads
to the following three questions for the basic operation of your MC-1.1+:
1) What kind of conversion should be executed → MODE?
After a function is finally selected and the
corresponding LED lights constantly again,
the digital audio outputs are activated for
signal transfer.
Shut-Down of Outputs
All digital audio outputs are shut-
down during function selection!
UNI-DIR = Unidirectional conversion, from one format to all others
BI-DIR = Bidirectional conversion, between two formats only
SPLIT = Signal splitting only
MODE
2) Which digital audio format(s) should be involved as source(s) → AUDIO
AES3 = AES3 between 25.0kHz and 200.0kHz
AES3id = AES3id between 25.0kHz and 200.0kHz
S/P-DIF op
S/P-DIF co
AUDIO IN
3) Which SCMS status is required for the S/P-DIF output signals → SCMS?
1 2
SCMS
= S/P-DIF optical between 25.0kHz and 200.0kHz
1
= S/P-DIF coaxial between 25.0kHz and 200.0kHz
2
ORIG = SCMS status as »original«
1st = SCMS status as »first copy«
PASS =
SCMS status of the S/P-DIF input signal is looped through
IN?
After these general decisions are made, your MC-1.1+ is configured for
optimal operation in your set-up! Due to the fact that the system monitors
for useful function combinations, maloperation is not possible.
So, let‘s have a look to the individual functions on the next pages.

MODE
This setting allows for unidirectional format conversion (see »MODE«, »UNIDIR«) of an AES3 source signal (see »AUDIO IN«, »AES3«) simultaneously to
all available output formats. The SCMS status of the S/P-DIF output signals
is set to original (see »SCMS -1«, »ORIG«). Thus, the original input signal is
not lost during the conversion process and available for further use!
Within the »AUDIO IN« menu, you can select with the »SELECT« button the
other available digital audio inputs. When selecting one of the S/P-DIF inputs, the SCMS status of the input signal will be displayed in the »STATUS«
area with the first (»1«) row of LEDs.
To set the SCMS status of the S/P-DIF outputs as »ORIG« or »1st«, enter the
SCMS« menu by pressing the »MENU« button repeatedly and select with
the »SELECT« button the option prefered. The SCMS settings are made independently of the SCMS status of the incoming S/P-DIF signal. If you want
to have the SCMS status of the S/P-DIF outputs equal to this one of the S/PDIF input signal, select »PASS«.

This is a special function of your MC-1.1+! It allows, as shown in the sketch
above, to receive an AES3 and AES3id signal simultaneously. The AES3 input
signal is converted to AES3id and the AES3id input signal is converted to
AES3. The other digital audio outputs are shut down. In this mode, the MC-
1.1+ is able to work simultaneously with two different sampling rates.
Any combination of two inputs for bidirectional conversion is possible to
select by pressing the »SELECT« button repeatedly within the »AUDIO IN«
menu.

When activating a bidirectional conversion option which includes a S/P-DIF
input, the SCMS status of the involved S/P-DIF output can be selected in the
»SCMS« menu. The »STATUS« menu shows the SCMS, PCM and DTS status
of the incoming S/P-DIF signal.
When activating a bidirectional conversion option which includes both
available S/P-DIF inputs, the SCMS status of both S/P-DIF outputs can be
selected in the »SCMS« menu. Therefore, both S/P-DIF inputs are marked
with »1« and »2«. You find this numbering above of the two LED rows of
the »SCMS« and »STATUS« sections. Thus, the SCMS status of the S/P-DIF optical output is selected with LED row»1« and the SCMS status of the S/P-DIF
coaxial output is selected with LED row»2«.
Correspondingly to this numbering, the »STATUS« menu indicates the
SCMS, PCM and DTS status of the incoming S/P-DIF signals.

This is also a special function of your MC-1.1+! It allows to actively split and
distribute up to four input signals to their corresponding double outputs.
That means, every input signal is transfered to two format-same outputs.
Thus, your MC-1.1+ works as a 4-way digital audio signal splitter. In this
mode, the MC-1.1+ accepts different sampling rates at every digital audio
input.

SCMS Functions
SCMS (Serial Copy Management System) settings, also know as »copy
protection bits«, affect the S/P-DIF optical and coaxial output signals
only. The AES3 and AES3id output signals are not affected because the
corresponding AES specifications do not define any SCMS encoding. Due to
this, the AES3 and AES3id output signals are free of SCMS information.
SCMS functions can be set independently of the SCMS status of an incoming
S/P-DIF signal. They are not available using the split mode.
»ORIG«
This function called »Original« sets the outgoing SCMS data-bits to indicate
that the signal source is the original master and not a copy. Therefore,
devices which are capable of evaluating SCMS data-bits will accept those
digital audio signals at their S/P-DIF inputs for recording.
»1st«
This function called »1st Generation« sets the outgoing SCMS data-bits
to indicate that the signal source is a copy. Therefore, devices capable of
evaluating SCMS data-bits will not accept those digital audio signals at
their S/PDIF inputs for recording. Due to this, valuable recordings, sounds or
commercial material will be protected against illegal copying.
»PASS«
This function transmits all SCMS information received at the active S/P-DIF
input/s to all S/P-DIF outputs without any modification.
STATUS Area
The STATUS area provides information on various signal status of incoming S/P-DIF optical or coaxial digial audio signals. Incoming AES3 or AES3id
signals will be not evaluated by this function because of the lack of the
corresponding status bits within these data streams.
»ORIG«
This status LED indicates when the incoming digital audio signal of the
active S/PDIF input is SCMS-encoded as original source.
»1st«
This status LED indicates when the incoming digital audio signal of the
active S/PDIF input is SCMS-encoded as 1st copy.
»NONE-PCM«
This status LED indicates when the incoming digital audio signal of the active
S/PDIF input is a none-standard PCM data stream, e.g. AC-3, MPEG, etc.
»DTS-CD«
This status LED indicates when the incoming digital audio signal of the
active S/PDIF input is a DTS-CD bitstream (DTS = Digital Theatre System).
