4. First Usage – Quick Start

4.1 Controls and Connectors

The front of the ADI-6432 features nine buttons with 31 LEDs, and an extensive Status Display

including 97 more LEDs.

MADI INPUT determines the

current input for the MADI signal

(optical/coaxial). The state of the

input signal is shown in the STATE

section (ERROR, 64-channel

mode and 96k frame format) and

also in the big LED display in

detail.

AES INPUT displays the basic state of the AES input signal: ERROR, Double Speed and Quad

Speed. The big LED display, AES INPUT STATE, shows the presence of a valid input signal

separately for each AES input. RME's exclusive SyncCheck indicates via flashing LEDs if one

of these inputs is locked, but not synchronous to the chosen clock reference.

WORD INPUT displays the basic state of the word clock input signal: ERROR, Double Speed

and Quad Speed. Note that these LEDs are only active when word has been chosen as clock

reference.

In the CLOCK SECTION the current clock reference and frequency multiplier is chosen.

MADI OUTPUT is used to configure the MADI output as 56/64 channel or 48k/96k frame for-

mat.

REMOTE defines the source for MIDI remote control operation (MADI or DIN jack).

MIDI INPUT indicates received MIDI data from the 5-pin DIN input or the MADI input.

COM indicates serial data being received or transmitted via the COM connector.

LOCK KEYS allows to switch off all buttons. This way the ADI-6432 can be secured against

accidental operating errors.
