Re: MTRX Studio and DVS Monitoring
Hi Jan,
Thank you very much indeed for the info. Penta is definitely a beautiful piece of advanced tech and definitely the way to go on the long run! Looks like a perfect way to expand the Mtrx Studio, I am so glad you brought it to my attention! I will probably get it as soon as my budget allows. Until then I need a „temporary solution” that will keep studio running- I can hook the bricasti to mtrx in analog for now, but the problem is with my stereo mastering converters- they use AES to connect. So... will probably have to get the AVIO thingy but you got me REALLY scared with the src. Let me ask a basic question here... say I run a mastering session in 96k in PT ( Mtrx getting 96 clock via digilink) and connect AVIO AES to the second rj45 at the back of mtrx studio unit and hook the stereo Da and DA converters there and clock them as slaves to MTRX ( wordclock?). Will it mean any additional src going on? Or anything that would compromise the quality? If not I could perform this until I get the Penta unit. Thank you in advance for your time ! |

Does that mean that the preamps might also be controllable via pro tools as well, like the MTRX pre's are?

I actually have the Focusrite PCIe Dante card for routing audio from Abelton Live into Pro Tools. Do you happen to know if the Focusrite can be used with Live and Mac system audio simultaneously, in other words shared between apps?

I have all my MTRX inputs sent up to Dante so I have the same IO labelling between Logic/Live/other native apps and Pro Tools Ultimate/HDX. It works brilliantly. The only thing it doesn't work 100% for is Zoom- not sure why. I use another output device for Zoom.

Can the Focusrite be used by Logic/Live and Mac system at the same time or is it just one or the other? I don’t want to have to keep switching between the two.

First of all, the Avio adapters, and many of the similar devices with 2 or 4 channels, are powered by PoE (Power over Ethernet) and do not have a separate power supply. PoE basically means that the device receives power through the network connector. The second network port on the MTRX Studio does not provide PoE so it can not power an Avio adapter (or other similar type of adapter). In order for this to work, you must therefore have a network switch which can provide PoE, and install this between the MTRX Studio and the Avio adapter. Regarding your question about SRC, that is a bit difficult to answer as there are different ways of implementing SRC. In theory it could be OK to do as you suggest, but it is not something I can guarantee. I suggest you contact the Audinate support team and ask them the question. In any case, this solution will not solve the issue with 192 kHz sample rate. I have also looked at other 2 ch. Dante to AES adapters and have not found any that does not use SRC. Some devices only have SRC on the incoming AES so the outgoing AES is locked to the Dante sample rate, while others have it on both input and output. And it generally seems that you can not disable the SRC on any of them. I am not sure how helpful this is to you, but that's what I know.

Re: MTRX Studio and DVS Monitoring
Jan,
Thank you! I will do everything I can to get the Penta asap. Seems to be the only reasonable option... really I understand I will be able to simply connect it to the MTRX Studio rear net port2 and I will see the AES in/out and the clock that will appear there will automatically follow digilink ? Thanks again, Robert |

I am thinking Penta 721s on the long run, but for now I just realised that maybe I am not seeing the most obvious temporary solution: I still have my Omni and maybe it could be used to hook up at least one AES input and 4 AES outputs to the system.... The question is how to connect things properly? I tried to connect MTRX Studio to HDN PCI primary and omni to HDN PCI ext port. Pro Tools can see both units but the sync goes wild and PT is reporting clocking issues, Not sure how to clock things properly. Experimenting all the sync options, let me know what's your suggestions? Should Digilink be set pri/pri in Dadman in this scenario?... |

Re: MTRX Studio and DVS Monitoring
Depending on your use case.. If you don't need 64 channels of bidirectional audio connected between MTRX Studio and HDN, simply connect Port 1 of HDN to Port 1 of MTRX Studio, Port 2 of HDN to Primary Port on Omni (disable monitoring). Word Clock out of MTRX Studio -> into Word Clock in on HD Omni.
