•

All power cords must be disconnected to isolate this apparatus completely.

•

Caution: To reduce the risk of electric shock, plug each power supply cord into separate branch circuits employing separate service grounds

•

This equipment is not supplied with a detachable power cord. The device should be connected to a power supply only of the type described in the Installation Guide or as marked on the device. The power cord must be earthed and precautions should be made so that the grounding is not defeated.

CAUTION: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. THIS EQUIPMENT HAS MORE THAN ONE POWER CORD. TO REDUCE THE RISKS OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DISCONNECT BOTH POWER SUPPLY CORDS BEFORE SERVICING

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of un-insulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating instructions and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

Important Safety Information

Important Safety InformationImportant Safety Information

This apparatus has no mains switch or other user-operated control for disconnecting the AC mains power. The mains plugs or the appliance couplers (IEC sockets) are used as the disconnect devices. Either device must remain readily operable and accessible when the apparatus is installed for use.

This unit includes thermally resettable fuses that are integral to the power supply circuitry, but the unit must always be powered from a supply fitted with an HRC type (High In-Rush Current) fuse with a rating of 1 A.

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of this Solid State Logic XLogic SDI-MADI unit. Please be assured that it will provide you with many years of reliable service while delivering the pristine audio quality you expect from any Solid State Logic product.

The SSL SDI-MADI is a cost-effective solution to the problem of connecting audio equipment to the SDI-based infrastructure found in many broadcast facilities today. Occupying only 1U of rack space, the SDI-MADI provides the interface between SDI video bit streams and digital audio. SDI-MADI extracts up to 16 audio channels from each of the unit’s four SDI inputs to provide a total of up to 64 audio channels in both MADI (AES10id-2008) and AES3 (AES3-1992) formats. All SDI inputs independently auto-sense between 3G, HD and SD standards and are provided with loopthrough connectivity for downstream equipment.

With a comprehensive range of synchronising options and switchable sample rate convertors, the SDI-MADI is designed to reliably and seamlessly integrate into any broadcast environment where SDI-embedded audio channels require format conversion.

This manual covers the XLogic SDI-MADI’s connections and indications, including its various options for synchronisation and external control. Please keep the manual in a safe place once you have installed the XLogic SDIMADI unit.
