CHAPTER 1: Overview

Introduction

The SPLIT.CONVERTER is a combined MADI format converter and signal splitter

with four MADI ports.

With one RU height, two redundant power supplies and a straightforward source

selector it allows for instantaneous conversion or distribution of MADI signals.

Feature Summary

MADI Ports 2 x SC-Socket multi/single-mode &

2 x coaxial BNC connector, 75 Ω (BNC/SC)

4 x SC-Socket multi/single-mode (SC/SC)

MADI Formats 56/64 channel, 48k/96k Frame, S/MUX 2/4

Sample Rates 32 kHz up to 192 kHz

Power Supply This device is equipped with two wide range power

supplies (84 V to 264 V AC / 47 Hz to 63 Hz / safety

class 1)

How it works

Using the rotary input selector for each port, any output can be fed from any input.

All ports are independent from each other, allowing the SPLIT.CONVERTER to

route and convert up to four asynchronous MADI streams simultaneously.

The signal routing is bittransparent and operates without any delays. All common

sample rates and MADI formats are supported, and will pass through the unit

without modiﬁcation. It is therefore also possible to convert and route proprietary

data formats.

CHAPTER 1: Overview

Applications

SPLIT.CONVERTER can be used to convert MADI signals in “mixed environments”

or for distribution of MADI signals.

Typical applications include:

• Switching converter units between control rooms

• Redundancy splitting/switching (manually) during recording or live sound

applications.

• Splitting signals for live events (FOH, monitoring, recording)

• Conversion between optical and coaxial connections to link devices

• Conversion between single-mode and multi-mode

• ...

CHAPTER 2: Legal issues & facts

Before Installing This Device

WARNING!

Please read and observe all of the following notes before installing

this product:

• Check the hardware device for transport damage.

• Any devices showing signs of mechanical damage or damage from the

spillage of liquids must not be connected to the mains supply, or

disconnected from the mains immediately by pulling out the power lead.

• All devices must be grounded. The device is grounded through its

IEC power connections.

• All devices must be connected to the mains using the three-cord power

leads supplied with the system. Only supply electrical interfaces with the

voltages and signals described in these instructions.

• Do not use the device at extreme temperatures. Proper operation can

only be guaranteed between temperatures of 5ºC and 45ºC and a

maximum relative humidity of 80%, non-condensing.

• The cabinet of the device will heat up. Do not place the device close

to heating sources (e.g. heaters). Observe the environmental conditions.

Defective Parts/Modules

WARNING!

This device contains no user-serviceable parts. Therefore do not open the device.

In the event of a hardware defect, please send the device to your DirectOut

representative together with a detailed description of the fault.

We would like to remind you to please check carefully whether the failure is

caused by erroneous conﬁguration, operation or connection before sending parts

for repair.

CHAPTER 2: Legal issues & facts

First Aid (in case of electric shock)

WARNING!

• Do not touch the person or his/her clothing before power is turned off,

otherwise you risk sustaining an electric shock yourself.

• Separate the person as quickly as possible from the electric power source

as follows:

- Switch off the equipment.

- Unplug or disconnect the mains cable.

• Move the person away from the power source by using dry insulating

material (such as wood or plastic).

• If the person is unconscious:

- Check their pulse and reanimate if their respiration is poor.

- Lay the body down and turn it to one side. Call for a doctor immediately.

• Having sustained an electric shock, always consult a doctor.
