descr bed n th s manual marked “ava lable as f rmware update”. We w ll
cont nue to supply f rmware updates to cont nuously mprove the
funct onal ty of the dev ce.
Please don't hes tate to tell us your feedback, thoughts and deas, we try
hard to make the mult verter your most valuable tool!

MVR-64
2.3. Overv ew
The mult verter s a un que dev ce wh ch allows you to convert d g tal
aud o data between the most popular formats (ADAT, MADI opt cal, MADI
coax al, MADI-TP, AES50, and Dante - plus other formats v a break-out
boxes). All nputs can freely be routed to all of the outputs n a “matr x”
fash on: When a connect on n the matr x s made, all nput channels are
1:1 routed to the output nterface.1 Even mult ple s multaneous
convers ons are poss ble, w th a super low latency down to 3 samples
( nterface dependent).
Up to 64 channels per convers on are supported at s ngle speed (x1)
modes (32/44.1/48kHz), up to 32 channels at double-speed (x2) modes
(64/88.2/96kHz) and up to 16 channels at quad-speed (x4) modes
(128/176.4/192kHz).
The dev ce s prepared for headamp remote control (Yamaha, Behr nger,
MIDAS) and can even convert between the d fferent vendor-spec f c
control formats to allow true system nteroperab l ty*.
D agnost cs are made s mple by an ntegrated headphones ampl f er and a
test tone generator. Three power nlets allow operat on from e ther AC or
DC (battery pack) w th full redundancy.
2.4. Operat ng Pr nc ples
The dev ce has been des gned for fast and s mple operat on, w th a no-
fr lls everyth ng-at-a glance concept. Most sett ngs are d rectly access ble
w thout the need to walk through lengthy menus:
To change a sett ng, f rst push the appropr ate rectangular button (e.g.
Set ). You have now entered “Menu” mode, nd cated by a yellow
bl nk ng cursor.
Move the cursor by turn ng the encoder (rotary knob) left or r ght to
move t to the des red sett ng.
Push the encoder knob (or push the appropr ate menu button aga n) to
conf rm your changes. To return to the prev ous state w thout mak ng
any changes, push the ⮌ Back button.
When the dev ce s normal operat on ( .e. not w th n a menu), turn ng
the encoder knob changes “Volume” or “Channel” of the mon tor
headphones, wh le push ng the encoder toggles between “Volume”
and “Channel” mode.
1 Channel-w se rout ng (comb n ng channels from d fferent nterfaces nto one output) s currently
unsupported. Please contact us for poss ble solut ons.
* Not supported n f rmware package 1.0.0, w ll be suppl ed as update

3. CONNECTIONS OVERVIEW
Th s chapter g ves you an overv ew of all connect ons on the back of the
dev ce. Please refer to 9. Spec f cat ons for full character st cs of each port.
3.1. AC Power
Ma ns AC nlet, 90-240VAC, 0.75A max.
Together w th the DC power port, the nputs are full redundant. If any of
the nputs fa l, the other takes mmed ately over. Dur ng the sw tchover
process, full operat onal state s ma nta ned ( .e. no nterrupt ons n the
aud o flow).
3.2. DC Power
Battery / DC nlet, nom nal 9-18V, tolerates up to 30V.
Max mum current 2.5A, typ cal operat ng current < 1A, standby current ca.
10mA.
Use th s port
to operate ndependently from AC power, e.g. from a camera battery
pack n the f eld
as battery backup f the AC nput(s) fa l. To prevent the backup battery
from dra n ng wh le AC power s present, keep the voltage below 16
volts.
3.3. ADAT
E ght ADAT nput/output ports w th 8 channels each (4 channels n SMUX
mode). The ports are mapped to the channels as follows:
Port 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Channels 1-8 9-16 17-24 25-32 33-40 41-48 49-56 57-64
Channels
(SMUX)
1-4 5-8 9-12 13-16 17-20 21-24 25-28 29-32
If ADAT s used as Clock Source, Input port 1 must be connected, and s
used as master clock.
3.4. PC/USB
The USB port s used for f rmware update, and as Remote Control Port for
the PC n the future. It s NOT capable of pass ng aud o data!

MVR-64
To nterface the aud o system of the mult verter to a computer, connect
s us ng Ethernet to the Dante port and use the Dante V rtual Soundcard
software.
3.5. RS485
The RS485 port s prepared to send and rece ve Yamaha Headamp
Remote control nformat on*.
3.6. Extens on
Th s port s des gned to connect break-out boxes to support other, non-
bu lt- n protocols and standards (e.g. AVB), or to connect add t onal ports
for system extens on.
Please contact us for the scheduled ava lab l ty of break-out boxes.
Two mult verters can be connected together v a the extens on port when
a larger number of d fferent ports s requ red.
Note: Although th s port makes use of a standard HDMI connector, t s
NOT compat ble w th HDMI dev ces. Don't connect HDMI equ pment
there! The HDMI connector was chosen because cables are ub qu tous
and can eas ly be replaced (and also because the electr cal character st cs
are perfectly su ted for th s purpose).
3.7. MADI opt cal
Th s port carr es MADI data, accord ng to the “opt cal” transm ss on
method spec f ed n AES10.
The yellow LED nd cates the current status:
Off: No ncom ng MADI data detected
On: Incom ng MADI detected, but no val d system clock
Flash ng: Incom ng MADI and val d system clock detected
The port s prepared to handle also MIDI control data (MIDI over MADI)
* Not mplemented n f rmware package 1.0.0. Funct onal ty w ll be suppl ed later v a f rmware update
9
User's Manual
compat ble to RME gear*.
Where poss ble, use the "MADI opt cal" connectect on rather than BNC or
TP connect ons to reduce the chances of no se/ nterference and to
ncrease reach.
3.8. MADI BNC
Th s port carr es MADI data accord ng to the “coax al” transm ss on
method spec f ed n AES10.
The yellow LED nd cates the current status:
Off: No ncom ng MADI data detected
On: Incom ng MADI detected, but no val d system clock
Flash ng: Incom ng MADI and val d system clock detected
The port s prepared to handle also MIDI control data (MIDI over MADI)
compat ble to RME gear*.
3.9. MADI TP
Th s port carr es MADI data, accord ng to the “MADI over Tw sted Pa r
cabl ng” method spec f ed n the draft for the upcom ng AES10 standard
(AES-X-213).
NOTE: Several propr etary mplementat ons of “MADI over Tw sted Pa r”
ex st pr or to standard zat on. Most of them are ncompat ble to the
method spec f ed n AES-X-213.
The LEDs nd cates the current status:
Yellow: L nk detected
Green: Input data val d and system clock val d
Th s port can also be used as second AES50 port (adapter cable and
altered sett ng requ red – see 8.2 Parameter sett ngs, and 10.1
AES50/MADI-TP P n swap adapter cable). Th s second port may be used
e ther as standalone port (48ch) or n channel aggregat on mode, mean ng
that both AES50 ports are treated as one s ngle nterface w th the f rst port
* Not mplemented n f rmware package 1.0.0. Funct onal ty w ll be suppl ed later v a f rmware update
