Page 4 Introduction Example 3) Using cascade mode to add MTX input channels (analog connection) Cascade mode allows the matrix buses to be shared between MTX units. This mode lets you use two MTX units to increase the number of inputs, and output the combined inputs to a single amp. In cascade mode, audio cannot be transmitted to the XMV via YDIF.
Page 5 Introduction Example 4) A system using Dante In this example, existing amps continue to be used, while we set up a new system at a distant location, with connec- tions made using Dante. The system using the existing amps is labeled System A, and the new system is labeled System B. In example 4, our explanation will be centered on the network settings.
