Introduction - About

Introduction

This document gives an overview about the graphical user interface (GUI) of the D.O.TEC® M.1k2. To familiarize yourself with the functions of the device - without having an connected M.1k2 next to you - you may thumb through the following pages.The GUI is accessed by an internet browser such as Chrome, Firefox, etc. (Chrome is recom-mended).

about

What is the M.1k2?The M.1k2 is a 16 port MADI router. It provides routing of whole ports down to single channel level offering a 1024 by 1024 crosspoint matrix. You can distribute MADI signals en bloc in a port matrix and you may also create your own MADI stream using the channel matrix.PolySync™ provides the ability to use different clock sources on individual ports. So the router may be divided into single ‘clock groups’ that can run at different sample rates.Port redundancy may be applied to have a spare signal that will be used when an input signal breaks.Two extra matrices may route serial data and MIDI data - that is embedded into the MADI sig-nal - independently from the audio signal.

ControllerThe audio signals are processed through an FPGA which itself is controlled by an embedded controller. The controller runs a webserver for access of the GUI from anywhere within a net-work. Support for extra protocols (such as telnet or SWP08) offers integration within complex installations.

ModularThe host device may be equipped with three different types of modules with eight ports each (coaxial BNC, optical SC and SFP). The optical modules are multi-mode by default and may be customized to single-mode upon request.

Quick overview - The status bar

your accountThe left part is only visible when you are logged in. Your username (e.g. 'admin') is a link to a page where you access your user profile and change your password. The link labelled 'log out' does exactly that.

ContactThis link is always present and displays the information that was entered in the contact section of the device configuration (page 39). It is recommended to contain means for immediate contact with the administrator.

HelpThis link is always present and opens a popup window with the help you are reading right now. Alternatively many sections of the GUI have -buttons that take you to the corresponding section of the manual directly.

Quick overview

The status barThe status bar is always present (except for the channel matrix, which uses its own window). It displays the current device state, provides short links to the device configuration and displays warnings.

The link section

D.O.TEC®




The port status section consists of three rows:

• The upper row displays the port IDs. If any of these ports is configured to be the clock ref-erence for the word clock output, the ID is inverted (as is port 11 in the example above).

• The middle row displays the sync state for each port. This can be off (no signal), green blinking (lock but no sync) and green (sync).

• The lower row shows the current port redundancy setting and state. It displays the num-ber of the redundant port and uses colours to indicate an error or a warning. In the exam-ple above, two pairs of ports are configured to be redundant: a) port 2 and 3 b) port 6 and 11

Port 2 and 3 are in sync, so redundancy is available. Port 6 has no signal (sync LED off), so the redundancy failed on that port (red colour). On the redundancy port the state changed to a warning (orange) to indicate a problem with the redundancy.If you move the mouse over any port column, a popup will give you more details about its cur-rent state. If you click on any port column, the corresponding port configuration page is shown.

Port status

D.O.TEC®




The clock status section gives you a quick overview of the device's current clocking configura-tion and state.

The video and word clock input on the front panel have a switchable termination. If the M.1k2 is the last device on a bus, termination should be activated. The termina-tion always works on both inputs simultaneously.

• The term LED displays the current state of the termination. If lit orange, the termination is active.

• If you click on the LED image the Word clock configuration page opens where you can activate or deactivate the termination.

The WCK section displays the status of any incoming word clock signal on the front panel's WCK input.

• The LED displays the sync status of the word clock input: Off - no signal, green blinking - lock but no sync, green - sync.

• If you move the mouse over the LED, a popup gives you more details about the incoming and outgoing signal.

• If you click on the LED image, the Word clock configuration page opens.

• If the word clock input is currently selected to be the source of the word clock output, its name is inverted.

The 'intern' label is inverted if one of the built-in word clock generators (44.1kHz and 48kHz) is connected to the word clock output.

The '44.1k' and '48k' labels are displayed inverted if the frequency currently routed to the word clock output is within 0.5% of the displayed frequency.

The 'POLYSYNC' button displays the current PolySync™ setting. If there are differ-ent word clock sources in use, the button lights up. Click on the button to change the configuration on the Word clock configuration page.

Clock status

The video input at the front panel allows you to feed an analogue video signal (PAL or NTSC, autodetect) as clock source. The M.1k2 simultaneously derives a 44.1kHz and a 48kHz clock from that signal.

• The video LED displays the sync status of the video input: Off - no signal, green blinking - lock but no sync, green - sync.

• If you move the mouse over the LED, a popup gives you more details about the incoming signal.

• If you click on the LED image, the Word clock configuration page opens.

• If the video input is currently selected to be the source of the word clock out-put, its name is inverted.

Quick overview - The menu

Device status

The menuIn the top section of every page you find the menu that gives you direct access to most of the pages. The first row contains the menu sections, the second row the pages inside each sec-tion.

PortconfigurationConfiguration→Ports (page 29) or click on the port columns in the status bar.

WordclockconfigurationConfiguration→WCK(page 33) or click on the WCK section of the status bar.

Sticky menu

• The four LEDs of the GPO section display the current state of the GPO 1..4 (in the order UL, UR, LL, LR). If you click on the GPO section, the device configuration page is shown where you can configure the GPOs.

• The two PSU LEDs give you the current state of the power supplies: Off - no power, green - on, red - fail. A PSU is considered to have failed if it was on once and now is off.

• The thermometer indicates the device's temperature class (green - normal, yellow - criti-cal, red - over). If you move the mouse over the thermometer, the exact temperature is shown in a popup. If you click on the thermometer, the device configuration page is shown where you can configure the fan settings.

The default behaviour for the menu is to scroll with the page. If you want to see the menu all the times, click on the sticky pin (or press the 'm' button on your keyboard). If enabled, the menu will always be visible on top, but it will cost you screen real estate. The fixed state of the menu will be saved in your user account.

Routing - Routing → Port Matrix

Routing→Port Matrix

OverviewThe port matrix allows you to set the audio routing for a complete port at once. It is perfect for simple setups or if you want to sketch a routing and do the fineprint later.If you make a connection in the port matrix, it will always connect all channels of the se-lected ports 1:1 except locked channels. To disconnect all output channels of a port, click the crosspoint again or click in the n/C row of the matrix.To make things even simpler, two buttons give you a unity matrix or disconnect all channels at once.If you move the mouse over the intersection of two ports with different speed modes, the port names are highlighted in yellow to warn you. Of course it is possible to make the connection anyway, if you whish to do so.

Let’s have a look at this setup: There are three different kinds of connection indications:

• Green indicates that all channels of the input port are connected 1:1 to the output port.

• Grey indicates that there are some connections from the input port to the output port.

• Red indicates that all the channels of this output port are disconnected.

In the image above ports 3-12 are 1:1 connected. Output port 1 only contains connections with input port 1, but not all channels are 1:1 connected. Output port 2 contains input from port 1 and 2. Output ports 13-16 are not connected.

note: You may notice a lag in the 100ms range between clicking on the matrix and the connec-tion to show up. The matrix always shows the state inside the router and the transfer forth and back takes about this time. But that means also that you always see what is going on inside the device.

D.O.TEC®




A tool bar above the port matrix gives recalls a 1:1 or N/C preset for the whole matrix. This will only affect unlocked and accessible channels, of course.The combo cycler on the right switches between system and user defined labels. It can be operated either via mouse or the key ‘d’.

Locking ports

Toolbar

The port matrix allows to monitor and modify the channel lock state for full ports. A grey lock indicates that some, but not all channels on the port are locked. A dark lock indicates that all channels of that port are locked.To change the lock state of the port, hold down the shift key and click in the box below the port you want to lock. Holding down the shift key prevents locking/unlocking a whole port by accident.note: Once you have locked individual channels in the matrix editor (grey padlock symbol) a click will lock all channels first then unlock all channels.

Port gainsIn addition to the channel gains, you can select a port gain. Both gains will be added before being applied to the audio data.The row below the port locks displays the port gains. A green background indicates an attenu-ation, a yellow background colour a gain.

• use the mouse wheel over the box that displays the to change the gain coarsely• use the mouse wheel in combination with the shift key to change the gain in small steps• click with the middle mouse button in the box to reset the gain to 0dB• click with the left button in the box to pop up a fader. Click again to remove the fader.

• Or press the key ‘g’ and pop up all faders at once.

To change the gain of one port, you can:

D.O.TEC®




Channel gains, port gains and locksPort gains and channels gains are summed up and applied to each channel. Channel locks not only forbid modification of a channel's cross point state, but also the channel's gain. How the port gain is applied to a locked channel's gain can be set for each port via the port gain mode setting:

Renaming and labelling portsAll ports can be renamed and labelled easily by double clicking on them. A small edit frame will pop up:

To see or change the port gain mode, press the SHIFT key and keep it pressed. The row that previously contained the port gains now displays the port gain modes. Click on a port gain mode to toggle it:

attention: Toggling the port gain mode immediately affects the volume on the locked chan-nels. Please be careful using this option!

Combined - The port gain is applied to all channels on the port, locked or not.

Unlocked only - The port gain is only applied to unlocked channels on this port.

Edit the label (up to 16 characters) and select an optional label. To exit the edit frame, click outside the frame. Any changes become effective immediately.

If you need other coloring schemes than the ones provided by the eight labels, you can use the expert mode: Keep the key 'CTRL' pressed while double clicking on the label. Instead of displaying eight labels, two text fields allow you to enter the HEX values for the foreground and background colors:

Routing - Routing → Channel Matrix

Routing→Channel MatrixThe channel matrix is one of the main workspaces of the M.1k2. Please take a few minutes to learn about its capabilities.

Online and offline matrixThe channel matrix provides access down to single channel level (1024 by 1024 crosspoints). That means you can create your own MADI stream by patching signals from several input ports to an output port.There are two matrices:

• offline - to prepare a scenario

• online - reflects the actual patching state, changes will be executed immediately

Both matrices are shared between all users and protocols. That means that multiple persons or programs can modify the matrix from multiple sites simultaneously.You chose the matrix to work on by pressing SPACE or use top button in the matrix toolbox.The default view shows crosspoints (XPs) from both matrices in an overlay, dimming the inac-tive variant. You can toggle the display of the inactive matrix between 'dim' and 'off' by pressing the key 'v' .A toolbox in the top right corner lets you choose one of several tools or select the matrix for editing and affect the status of the matrix.To keep track of the matrix or for quick access in a navigation map (bottom left corner) your actual position is represented by a black rectangle.A bunch of shortcuts is available to ease up the operation. Press the key 'h' to call the diction-ary (press again to hide it).

Routing - Routing → MIDI Matrix

Routing→MIdI MatrixThe device can embed MIDI data in the MADI stream using the user bits of channel 56. Em-bedded MIDI data is de-embedded inside the device and can be routed separately from the audio data.

note: If you have no MIDI routing active for an output port, but a routing on audio channel 56, the user bits will be routed as well (without being de-embedded and re-embedded in that case). But if you use the de-embedding and re-embedding process, you can route MIDI data between ports even if they are not synchronous.

note: In order to be able to transport the 31250 MIDI bits/s on a MADI stream, there is a lower bound for the word clock of that MADI stream (since it can only transport one bit per sample). MIDI routing is not possible if the clock is lower than 32kHz. Ports that have a lower clock are highlighted in yellow to warn you. Of course it is possible to make the connection anyway, if you whish to do so.

Using the matrixTo make a connection between an input port (rows) to an output port (columns), just click in the square that intersects both. If you press on the same square again, you can toggle between the N/C and connected state.

note: You may notice a lag in the 100ms range between clicking on the matrix and the connec-tion to show up. The matrix always shows the state inside the router and the transfer forth and back takes about this time. But that means also that you always see what is going on inside the device.

In this image you can see that only ports 3, 9 and 10 carry signals that allow you to embed MIDI data correctly. Although you can make connections on the other ports (yellow squares), the data output may be garbled.

This setting is automatically stored and used again in later sessions. You can change the label display by clicking on the cycler or by pressing key 'd'.Cycle sequence:

D.O.TEC®



Routing - Routing → Serial Matrix

Routing→serial MatrixThis device can embed serial data in a MADI stream is using the user bits 1 — 9. The serial matrix allows you to de-embed and route this serial data separately from the audio routing. The MADI ports that take part in a serial routing do not have to be synchronous.If you connect audio channels 1 — 9 from one port to another port and disable serial routing in this matrix, you can achieve the same since channel user bits are routed as well. But in this case both channels have to be synchronous.

Using the matrixTo make a connection between an input port (rows) to an output port (columns), just click in the square that intersects both. If you press on the same square again, you can toggle between the N/C and connected state.

note: You may notice a lag in the 100ms range between clicking on the matrix and the connec-tion to show up. The matrix always shows the state inside the router and the transfer forth and back takes about this time. On the plus side, you always see what is going on inside the device.

D.O.TEC®



Routing - Routing → Serial Matrix

Setting the bitrateRouting serial data from one MADI stream to another can be accomplished not knowing the bitrate of the underlying data stream. But if you want to route to or from a hardware port, the bitrate has to be set.

In order to do this, choose the bitrate for (both directions of) the port you want to use in your routing from the corresponding checkbox on the left. You can chose between 9600, 19200, 38400 and 115200 bits/s for each port independently.

ToolbarAbove the matrix you have a small toolbar:

Configuration - Configuration → Ports

Configuration

A MADI signal contains information about its format (56ch / 64ch) and base sample rate. The M.1k2 will detect this information automatically. The scaling factor (speed mode 1FS / 2FS / 4FS) has to be configured to interpret the signal correctly. I.e. 1FS = 64 (56) audio channels, 2FS = 32 (28) audio channels, 4FS = 16 (14) audio channelsIf PolySync™ is enabled the clock source can be set for each port individually.The output signal of a port is defined separately to allow format conversions related to the input. E.g. 56ch signal to a 64ch signal or changing the frame structure of a 2FS signal from 48kFrame to 96kFrame.note: There is no sample rate conversion provided inside the M.1k2.

Configuration→PortsGo to Configuration → Ports or click on the port status LEDs in the status bar.

Title Bar

You can choose the port to configure by either clicking on the LED in the status bar, or by in-crementing/decrementing the port number with the arrow buttons next to the title. Additionally you can use the cursor left/cursor right keys.If you have activated user labels, the title shows not only the port number, but also the input and output port names you have given, as seen above.

Input status

On the top of each port's configuration page, you can see details about the port input signal:

• sync status shows you the current sync state (no signal, lock and sync), and when the last change occurred.

• Clock reference shows the clock reference that is currently in effect. Depending on wether Follow Port or Master clock override are active, this does not necessarily have to be the clock reference you have configured in the clock configuration section.

• speed mode shows the speed mode that is in effect currently. Depending on whether Follow Port or Master FS override are active, this does not necessarily have to be the speed mode you have configured in the clock configuration section.

• frequency is the measured sample rate currently present at the port's input.

• MadI channels shows the incoming MADI channel number, 56 or 64.

• MadI frame shows the incoming MADI frame mode, 48k or 96k.

D.O.TEC®




Clock ConfigurationThe input and output of each port always use the same clock reference and speed mode. It is not possible to change them individually. The clock reference is used to check the incoming signal against for synchronicity, and it is the clock source for the outgoing MADI stream.

• Clock reference selects the clock source for the port. You cannot configure the clock reference if Master clock override or Follow Port are active.

• speed mode sets the S/MUX mode for both the incoming and outgoing MADI streams. You can select 1FS, 2FS or 4FS. The number of channels will change to 64ch, 32ch and 16ch, accordingly. You cannot configure the clock reference if Master FS override or Fol-low Port are active.

• follow port allows you to chain the clock configuration of this port to another clock configuration. Clock reference and speed mode of the source you choose here will be mirrored as long as this function is enabled.

Follow Port

If Follow Port is active, the clock configuration elements are disabled and clock reference as well as speed mode are copied from the respective port. This way you can easily create clock domains where multiple ports are guaranteed to always use the same clock setting, and you can configure them with one click. You can see the current settings in the input status section or on the configuration page for the clock source you have chosen to follow.

Master Override

If Master clock override or Master FS override are in effect, the corresponding configuration elements are disabled. You can see the current settings in the input status section or on the word clock configuration page (see page 33).

D.O.TEC®




Input Configuration

The M.1k2 allows you to define any two MADI inputs to be redundant to each other. In case one of the incoming signals fails, the signal of the still working port is used instead.The current status of your input redundancy is always visible on each port's configuration pages and in the status bar:

If the incoming signals differ in clock or MADI mode/frame, the indicators turn yellow and give you a description of the condition. In case of an error, they turn red:

Output configuration

The output configuration section allows you to set the properties of the outgoing MADI signal:

• MadI channels sets the number of audio channels

• MadI frame sets the frame type used for 2FS mode.

note: At 1FS there are 56/64 channels available for each MADI port, respective 28/32 chan-nels at 2FS and 14/16 channels at 4FS.

D.O.TEC®




Channel RoutingThe channel routing panel lets you inspect all the sinks for the incoming channels and the sources for the outgoing channels at once. Locked channels are displayed dimmed, while con-nections with (probably) asynchronous ports are highlighted in red. Examples:

A single route in the input channel section. This input channel is routed to port 1, channel 28. In the output channel section this would indicate that the source for this output channel is port 1, channel 28.

No routes for this input/output channel active.

This input channel is routed to multiple output channels, channel 1 on ports 1—3.

The cycle box on the upper right lets you switch between system labels and user provided labels for the channels and ports. A click on the cycle box switches or pressing key 'd' cycles through the settings.

D.O.TEC®



Configuration - Configuration → WCK

Configuration→WCK

Clock sourcesThe device offers 21 word clock sources:

• MADI inputs 1-16

• Word clock input

• Video input (derives 44.1kHz and 48kHz simultaneously)

• Internal generators (44.1kHz and 48kHz)

You can use any of these sources as main reference for the device. Alternatively you can use a separate clock reference for each port (PolySync™).

PolySync™You may run the M.1k2 with multiple clock sources at a time. Once PolySync™ is activated you may sync each port of the M.1k2 to an own clock source. This provides the possibility to setup ‘clock groups’. E.g. ‘Port 1’ and ‘Port 2’ are clocked by Video @ 44.1kHz and ‘Port 3’, ‘Port 5’ and ‘Port 8’ are clocked by word clock @ 48kHz.note: There is no sample rate conversion provided by the M.1k2. Routing between ports that are not in sync to each other may result in unwanted signals at the output.

Master Clock: Using a single clock referenceIn most situations, the M.1k2 will only use a single word clock source on all ports. This is also the default when you take the device out of the box.

To create a single clock reference setup, select your preferred clock source in the section 'Master Clock' and activate the checkbox 'Use clock setting for all MADI ports + WCK' as well as 'Use FS setting for all MADI ports'. All inputs and outputs now run with the selected clock and speed mode.

Word clock inputs

On the top of the page the M.1k2 displays details about the word clock and video input. Errone-ous states such as lock (instead of sync) and no signal are printed red.

D.O.TEC®




Termination

The word clock and video input both have a switchable 75 Ω termination. If the M.1k2 is the last device in a chain, enable the termination. It can only be activated for both inputs simultane-ously.

Word clock outputThe M.1k2 has two word clock output ports at the front panel. You can route any of the 21 word clock sources to those two ports.

To route a word clock source to the output ports, simply select it in the word clock output sec-tion:

• Clock source selects the word clock reference you want for both word clock outputs.

• WCKFS The rightport can have a different multiplier as the left one, based on the same clock reference.

• follow You can let the word clock output join a clock domain to follow another port's clock reference and multiplier setting.

The right word clock output port may have a different multiplier assigned to.

Video input for PAL or NTSC signals (left) and word clock input (right).The M.1k2 derives two word clocks from the incoming video signal simultaneously, 44.1kHz and 48kHz.

D.O.TEC®




PolySync™: Using multiple clock referencesTo select individual clock references for the MADI ports, make sure the master override func-tion is disabled (see above). You can then select any clock reference you wish in the column Clock source of the table Polysync Clock references. Additionally, you can choose indi-vidual clock multipliers for each port in the row fs.

In the picture above you can also see a clock domain created by the follow Port function. Ports 2 and 3 are configured to follow port 1: Whatever clock reference and multiplier is se-lected for port 1 will be in effect instantly for port 2 and 3 as well. In the status columns you can see that the three ports have the same configuration regardless of the clock source configura-tion of ports 2 and 3. The column frequency shows the measured word clock frequency. It is updated once per second.note: Whenever different word clock references are in effect, the Polysync indicator in the status display lights up:

Wipe

To backup the complete configuration data, just press the button. After a few seconds (in which the archive is compressed to save space), your browser will download an archive with the de-vice settings and all user data.

This description says it all: If you want a fresh start or give back a rented device, press this but-ton. A confirmation dialog will make sure you didn't click by accident.

When restoring a previously generated backup archive, you can chose what parts of the ar-chive you whish to restore: Only the device configuration without replacing all the user ac-counts and data, only the user data, or both.Depending on your choice it might be possible to either reboot the device or log out and back in.Warning: Replacing the user data also overwrites the administrator's account. Make sure you have all the authentication credentials at hand!

note: If you replace the device's configuration, it will behave exactly the same way it did when the backup was made. That includes the network configuration. If you cannot find your device again after the reboot, it probably uses an old network configuration. See the section about recovery (page 52) on how to deal with that situation.

Tools - Tools → Monitoring

Tools

Tools→MonitoringThe monitor tool allows you to see the signal status of all 1024 incoming channels at once, and select any mono channel/stereo pair of channels to listen to on your monitor bus.

A lot of information is displayed at once in the monitoring tool. Lets break it down:

Input port speed and channel modeThe input speed mode is indicated by showing you how much space a single channel con-sumes in S/MUX mode. The placing of the channels is accurate in reference to 1FS.If the input signal is in 56 channel mode, the last 8/4/2 (depending on the speed mode) chan-nels are blanked out.

Input signal/sync state

Different colours indicate the sync state of all inputs relative to the monitoring output port.Green signals and no background colour: The input uses the same word clock reference and speed mode as the monitor output port, and it is in sync state. A healthy signal!

Yellow signals and yellow background colour: The input has the same nominal word clock and same speed mode as the monitor output, but a different word clock reference. That means it could possibly be asynchronously, but we do not know for certain. This is probably just a setup problem.

Red signals on a red background: Different speed mode, different word clock reference, no signal or just locked. This signal, if present at all, is in no condition to be routed to your monitor output.

D.O.TEC®



Tools - Tools → Monitoring

Signal presentThe signal display is updated once per second. If a signal peaks -60 dBFS in that period, the corresponding channel is highlighted.

Dead channelsThe router keeps track on which channels it has encountered a signal since the start or the last reset of the dead channel table. If you enable the dead channel layer, all channels that never carried a signal greater than -60 dBFS are darkened.

Peeking into channelsThe channel(s) you currently listen to is highlighted. To change the monitor source, just move the mouse over any other channel and press the left mouse button. The routing will be changed permanently.If you want to peek into multiple channels, keep the left button pressed for longer than half a second. The cursor starts blinking to indicate this time out. While keeping the left button pressed, move the mouse around: The routing changes while you are moving over the chan-nels. Once you release the left mouse button, the monitor routing returns to its previous setting.

TelnetThe device offers a telnet interface that can be used interactively or for automation purposes, be it with scripts or programs.Most features can be configured through the telnet interface, and you can activate status feed-back to monitor the device.

Using telnet manuallyYou need a telnet client to connect to the telnet service. On OS X and Linux, all you need is to open a terminal and connect to the service:

You can get a list of the possible commands at any time by typing 'help':

The resulting file can now be sent to the device:

A similar feature switches on status feedback, status on.

Using telnet with scriptsSince all you send to the telnet service is ASCII commands, you can easily type them in a text file in advance and then send the whole file to the telnet service. This way you can easily automate things.In this example we create a script that unlocks all channels, create a 1024 channel 1:1 matrix and set the clock source to word clock input. Since there is no command to unlock all channels, we simply create 1024 unlock commands in the terminal:
