Chapter 3: Standalone MADI Routing
This configuration requires an SH612 with non-ES firmware loaded (check that the
firmware version number displayed on the LCD at startup does not have “ES” after it).
This is the standard mode of operation for the Studio Hub.
3.1 Connections
If you have not done so, first check that the SH612’s Control port is set to RS422. See
page 9. Then to enable control of the SH612 from the configuration PC:
1. Connect one end of a 9-pin straight-through serial cable (DE-9 connector) to
the SH612 Control port.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to an RS-422 to RS-232 adapter. The RS-
422 end of the adapter should be connected to the cable.
3. Connect the RS-232 end of the adapter to the configuration PC serial port. (You
may need a female to female RS-232 adapter
3.2 Route Manager
This section discusses the standalone SH612 Route Manager application. Using the
Route Manager is a three step process represented by three tabs (across the top of the
interface) to expose editing pages.
Open the Route Manager application by double-clicking on the Route Manager appli-
cation icon on the Windows desktop.
Three tabs at the top of the router access different functions:
• Configurations and Patches: store MADI configurations and routes.
• Routing: build or change signal routing to and from each MADI device.
• Edit Current Configuration: define hardware types, number of Decks, Con-
verters and Hubs.
3.2.1 Configuration and Patches
Begin by selecting the Configurations and Patches tab and make a new configuration
in the Configuration window. Several configuration types are available in the New
menu. Activate your configuration by double-clicking it or selecting it and pressing the
Open button. It is active when it has a red check mark next to it. Then use the Patches
window to create and name a new patch.
