19. Configuring the HDSP MADI 

 

 
Configuring the HDSP MADI is done via its own settings dialog. The panel 'Settings' can be 
opened by clicking on the hammer icon in the dock. The mixer of the HDSP MADI, TotalMix, 
can be opened by clicking on the mixer icon in the dock. 
 
The Hammerfall DSP’s hardware offers a number of helpful, well thought-of practical functions 
and options which affect how the card operates - it can be configured to suit many different 
requirements. The following is available in the 'Settings' dialog: 
 
•  Input selection 
•  Configuration of digital I/Os 
•  Synchronization behaviour 
•  State of input and output 
•  Current sample rate 
 
Any changes performed in the 
Settings dialog are applied 
immediately - confirmation 
(e.g. by exiting the dialog) is 
not required. However, settings 
should not be changed during 
playback or record if it can be 
avoided, as this can cause 
unwanted noises. 
 
The status displays at the bot-
tom of the dialog box give the 
user precise information about 
the current status of the sys-
tem, and the status of all digital 
signals. 
 
 
Quick Boot 
All the card's settings described below are stored in a hardware memory, and are loaded im-
mediately after a power-on of the computer. In clock mode Master even the last used sample 
rate is set. Directly after switching on the computer, a stable and predictable clock state is found 
at the HDSP MADI's outputs. This advanced technology completely eliminates disturbing noises 
and clock network problems during power-up or re-boot. 
 
MADI In 
Defines the input for the MADI signal. 'Optical' relates to the optical input, 'Coaxial' to the BNC 
socket. 
 
MADI Out 
Defines the format of the MADI output signal. MADI can be a 56 or 64 channel signal. 
 
96 kHz 
Sample rates higher than 48 kHz can be transmitted using the normal 48K Frame, or using a 
native 96K Frame at the card's output.
