[. . . ] NOTE: Si1 has only two option slots but the same principles apply. An example of an invalid configuration: 64 Channel Input Expansion Bus < Card #1(AES) INPUTS 1-8 active < Card #2(MADI) INPUTS 1-64 active In this example there is a clash between the two cards as both are trying to `route' to buses 1-8 and the conflict must be resolved by resetting of the routing dip switches on one or other of the cards. Outputs ­ The operation of the outputs is slightly different; whilst it is the case that only one audio source in the console may feed any given output or expansion bus any or all of the cards may `listen' to what has been routed to the expansion bus. This topology allows great versatility when you are required to provide direct outputs to multiple destinations simultaneously. The DIP switches on the option cards may still be used to limit or choose which signals the card uses in the event you do not wish all cards to re-transmit all channels. NOTE: In the case of an invalid input configuration the console will not boot. A typical example of an output configuration: 64 Channel Output Expansion Bus > Card 1(AES) Outputs 1-8 Active > Card 2 (MADI) Outputs 1-32 Active >Card 3 (MADI) Outputs 1-64 Active Card Switch Settings: Each Si option card features 8 DIP switches arranged as two groups of four, these enable or disable inputs to or outputs from the option card and expansion bus. The table below illustrates the function of the DIP switches found on the Si Series option cards: Setting any given input switch shall enable routing of the INPUTS TO THE OPTION CARD to the given channels on the expansion bus. Setting any given output switch shall enable routing of the SIGNALS ON THE EXPANSION BUS (outputs from the console) TO THE OPTION CARD. It is important to remember that the patching of I/O signals to / from the expansion bus is unrelated to the setting of the physical switches on option cards; the card switches dictate only which channels of the option card bus the option card can monitor / route to. NOTE: There are some exceptions to the above, please refer to the Switch Settings section of each card type for full details. Si Series Optical MADI Card The MADI I/O card can establish a 64-channel MADI input and output to a remote device such as stage box or other equipped device. Optical inputs and outputs are provided on SC connectors available in multi-mode versions only. The auxiliary interface can be used as a redundant link.
