MTX Editor User’s Manual MTX Editor is software for connecting, constructing, and controlling a system that uses MTX series, XMV series, and EXi8/EXo8 units. The settings you make in MTX Editor are sent to the MTX series, XMV series, and EXi8/EXo8 units that are connected via Ethernet. After the settings have been sent, the system will operate without a computer. A control panel such as a DCP series unit can also be used to control the system in real time.

Chapter 1. An overview of MTX Editor An audio system control network When multiple MTX series, XMV series, and EXi8/EXo8 units are connected via Ethernet as a network, they will operate together as a single audio system. This is called an “MTX system,” and a space containing multiple MTX systems is called a “project.” If a computer is connected to the network, the computer can control the MTX system via the MTX.
Terms used in this user’s manual Chapter 1. An overview of MTX Editor ● Emergency mode If the “Preset” dialog box’s [Emergency Recall] setting is [ON], the MTX will enter this mode when it receives an EMG (Emergency) signal from an external device, or when the input to the +24V [GPI IN] pin (IN 8 for the MTX3, or IN 16 for the MTX5-D) falls below 2.5V. In this mode, the unit will operate as follows. • The current state will be remembered.

MTX system configuration examples Chapter 1.
What are YDIF connections? (Cascade mode and Distribution mode) Chapter 1. An overview of MTX Editor What are YDIF connections? (Cascade mode and Distribution mode) An MTX system has the following two connection modes. When connecting multiple YDIF devices (when making YDIF connections), you must choose one of these modes. In either case, the system can easily be expanded at low cost. Use the “Device Configuration Wizard” dialog box to switch modes.
What are YDIF connections? (Cascade mode and Distribution mode) Chapter 1. An overview of MTX Editor If only MTX units are connected Connection RING connection 01 MTX3 02 MTX3 03 MTX3 04 MTX3 Up to four MTX units can be connected. Use the [Device Configuration Wizard] to switch both settings. YDIF MODE = CASCADE YDIF MODE = DISTRIBUTION To switch the settings of the two modes, click the [System] menu command “MTX Configuration” and make settings for each matrix.
What are YDIF connections? (Cascade mode and Distribution mode) Chapter 1. An overview of MTX Editor If MTX units and other YDIF units are connected Connection RING connection 01 EXi8 02 MTX5-D 03 MTX3 04 XMV4280 05 EXo8 Up to eight units can be connected via YDIF. Cascade mode If a device other than an MTX is connected, it is not possible to select Cascade mode. Distribution mode YDIF patching is done in the “EXT. I/O” screen.
What are Dante connections? (Daisy-chain connection and Star connection) Chapter 1. An overview of MTX Editor What are Dante connections? (Daisy-chain connection and Star connection) A Dante network can be connected in two ways. Set the DIP switches of the devices as appropriate for the type of connection. ❑ Daisy-chain connection In a daisy-chain connection, each device is connected to the next device, in a chain. This method makes it simple to construct a network, and does not require a network switch.
What are Dante connections? (Daisy-chain connection and Star connection) Chapter 1. An overview of MTX Editor ❑ About redundant networks A redundant network is a network consisting of two circuits: a primary circuit and a secondary circuit. Normally, communication occurs on the primary circuit, but if a problem such as a broken cable occurs on the primary circuit, communication will automatically switch to the secondary circuit.
Patching Chapter 1. An overview of MTX Editor Patching In a digital audio network such as YDIF or Dante that comprises the MTX system, you will make settings on the transmitting device to specify “which output channel/bus’s signals will be sent to which channels of the digital audio network,” and make settings on the receiving device to specify “which channels of the digital audio network will be received on which input channels.
