Configuring Audio over MADI, the General Case

Most third party equipment (e.g. RME, Lawo) treats the AES (Audio Engineering Society) streams from a MADI as 32 linked pairs, A and B channel together. So in the general case, the following strategy should be used to route the AES streams:

In the card/port configuration screen in EHX, the panels should be configured to the odd numbered ports (taking the first port as 1) of the E-MADI card. The even numbered ports may be left unused (Empty), leaving the panel with only the main channel audio (channel A). See the image below.

Note:

It is not necessary to define a block of panels as consecutive odd numbers. For example, ports 1,3,9,11,51 could be defined as panels, with all the other slots unused or used for other purposes if required.
