Tip

We recommend to feed power supplies from different mains supply systems to
prevent power failures.

The 52/XR MADI Router can optional be operated with two power supplies of the type 52-5048 (48V/200W).

Sync Module Redundancy
An 52/XR MADI Router can be equipped with a redundant synchronisation module. Thus, the device becomes more
reliable concerning the internal and external synchronisation.
The 52/XR MADI Router can optional be operated with two synchronisation modules of the type 52-6710.
More information on the synchronisation and its configuration can be found in the section Synchronisation.

Controller Redundancy
An 52/XR MADI Router can be equipped with a redundant communication controller module. Thus, the device becomes
more reliable concerning the communication in the configuration and controlling network (communication with
configuration PCs).
The 52/XR MADI Router can optional be operated with two communication controller modules of the type 52-6850.

Router / DSP Kernel Redundancy
An 52/XR MADI Router can be equipped with a redundant Router / DSP Kernel module. Thus, the device becomes more
reliable concerning the routing and DSP processing.
The following Router / DSP Kernel redundancy options are possible for the 52/XR MADI Router:

Router / DSP Kernel module of the type
52-6440

Router / DSP Kernel module of the type
52-6442

3 HU frame

two modules

6 HU frame

two modules (if only the upper backplane is used)
two modules (if only the upper backplane is used) or
four modules (if the upper and the lower backplane
If you want to use both backplanes of an 6 HU 52/
are equipped with redundancy)
XR, you have to use modules of the type 52-6440.

It is not possible to use Router / DSP Kernel modules of different types in one device!

MADI Redundancy
The MADI modules in the slots 13 to 18 (and in the slots 34 to 39 in a 6 HU frame) can be configured as redundancy for
the corresponding modules of the slots 3 to 8 (and the slots 24 to 29 in a 6 HU frame). That means, if you want to
safeguard the channels of the MADI module in slot 5, you have to plug the redundant module into slot 15 and to assign
this module to be redundant with the configuration software Toolbox5.
Please find more information on the MADI redundancy and its configuration in the section Configuring MADI Redundancy.

Connecting the Device to a PC
The configuration of an 52/XR MADI Router is done with the aid of a PC. Usually an ethernet interface is employed for this
connection. The next section describes how to configure and use this interface of the communication controller.
In addition to the ethernet interface, each controller module has an USB interface. It replaces the RS232 interface known
from the former DHD systems, but the transfer rate of the USB interface is comparable with the ethernet connection.
Please follow this description to start the operation of the USB interface.

6.1

Configuring the Ethernet Interface
Every 52/XR MADI Router is equipped with an ethernet interface (with two ethernet interfaces in case of controller
redundancy). The interface - an RJ45 female connector - is located on the communication controllers. It is a standard
twisted pair interface with a data transfer rate of 100Mbit/s. The interface complies with the 100Base-TX, IEEE 802.3u
standard.
The ethernet connection of the 52/XR MADI Router allows communication with DHD application software, as well as with
conventional applications like Telnet and web browsers on one or more PCs.

Important

Please urgently note the network specifications before
using the ethernet interface of a 52/XR MADI Router.
If the 52/XR MADI Router is not run according to the
network specifications, DHD cannot guarantee the proper
operation of the device.

6.1.1

IP Basic Settings
Before delivery, each 52/XR MADI Router is configured with an IP basic setting. This setting accords to a certain pattern,
unless the customer indicates different requirements in his order.
Each controller with an integrated ethernet interface has a dedicated network address, the so-called MAC address (MAC Media Access Control). This address is always unambiguous and unique. DHD owns the MAC address range
00:0A:63:00:00:00 to 00:0A:63:FF:FF:FF, therefore this address is also referred as serial number of a DHD
device.
A network-compatible controller module is always identified in a network by its MAC address. As the first 3 Bytes of all
DHD MAC addresses always are identical, only the last 3 Bytes are indicated in DHD software applications.

Note

If you find the term "MAC address" in the context of a DHD system, it always
refers to the last three Bytes of the actual address, although this is, strictly
speaking, incorrect.

These last 3 Bytes of the MAC address are used for composing the IP address for the basic setting. Please find below an
example for the MAC address 10:00:02:
· Every single Byte is translated into the decimal format: 10h = 16, 00h = 0, 02h = 2
· Afterwards the decimal numbers are strung together; 10 is prepended, and all numbers are separated by periods:
10.16.0.2

Connecting the Device to a PC

11

The subnet mask is automatically set to 255.0.0.0, according to the classification of this IP range.
Thus the following IP basic setting results for the example device:
· IP address: 10.16.0.2
· Subnet mask: 255.0.0.0
Please learn in the following chapter how to change these settings and adjust them to your IT environment.

6.1.2

IP Configuration
The IP settings of a 52/XR MADI Router are no longer defined in the configuration file, but directly in the systems
communication controller. To set IP parameters, please use the Maintenance Window, an application, which is
implemented in Toolbox5. You can open the Maintenance Window by clicking the according command in the View menu
or by pressing F7 on your keyboard. The application opens in a window with three sections:

View of the Maintenance window after opening.
In the left upper part of the window, beneath the menu bar, you can see a list of the Series 52 systems accessible in the
network. On the right side next to it, in the largest part of the window, you can see system information of the device which
is selected in the left-handed list. Above the status bar in the lower part of the window, current messages are displayed,
sent by DHD systems in the reachable network.
You have two options to adjust the IP settings of a Series 52 system, depending on the following conditions:
a. You can see the respective device in the list in the left part of the maintenance window.
b. You cannot see the respective device in the list in the left part of the maintenance window.

If you can see the device in the list (a)
1. Right-click on the displayed device name.
2. A context menu appears. Select the Network Config... command from this menu.
3. A window opens, displaying the current IP configuration of the device.

The Network Config window shows the current IP configuration of the
device with the serial number which is entered in the Serial No text field.
Serial No - The Serial Number
The device of which you can see the network settings, is always represented by its serial number (Serial No). This
serial number is unambiguous and is only valid for one single controller. You can use the field to read out settings of
devices that are located in a different network segment. Read more about this in section "If you do not see the device in
the list (b)".
Hardware Name - The Device Name
You can provide every Series 52 system with a device name (Hardware Name) which will specify the device. This name
will help you to identify the device in the network. You can choose any name up to 20 characters; however, no space
characters are allowed. Not allowed special characters are rejected on entering.
Automatically via DHCP - Automatic IP Assignment by a DHCP Server
If there is a DHCP server on the network, which is also supposed to carry out the IP configuration of the 52/XR MADI
Router, please just select the Automatically via DHCP radio button.
Fixed - Fixed IP Setting
If you cannot access a DHCP server or you want manually carry out the IP configuration, please first select Fixed and
then fill in the according values (IP Adress, Subnet Mask, Gateway, Broadcast) into the activated text fields.

Important

In case of questions about the parameters to be set, please contact your IT
department or your network administrator.

The configuration software is represented by a executable file named Toolbox5.exe. Double click the file Toolbox5.
exe to start the application.

Note

In this manual only the most important steps to configure an 52/XR MADI
Router with the Toolbox5 software are mentioned. Please find a comprehensive
description of the configuration software Toolbox5 and its functions in the
Toolbox5 manual.

When starting the Toolbox5 for the first time, a second application is extracted, called DHD Communication Server (
DHDCS.exe). This software is handling the complete communication between DHD Devices and DHD applications on a PC.
To learn more about the DHD Communication Server, please refer to the RM4200D manual, Part 6 “Application
Software Manuals, Chapter 1 - The DHD Communication Server”. The corresponding manual file is called
“RM4200D_6_appsoftware_en.pdf”.

Series 52 - 52/XR MADI Router Manual

After the software has started, it displays an empty project list and some basic project properties, which can be
customized.

The Toolbox5 application window right after startup.
From here on, you have two ways to proceed:
1. You can create a new project to setup one or several routing devices from scratch.
2. You can load an existing project file (*.dp5) from your PC to edit the configuration of the existing devices.
A project is representing a collection of DHD Series 52 devices. Devices inside the same project are able to communicate
with each other. This interoperability is comfortable to configure functions between several devices of one installation, e.g.
talkback or on-air switching.

DSP Frame I/O Configuration
Click onto the + sign in front of the device label to reach the sub-branches of the device configuration.
On the DSP Frame I/O tab, the hardware layout of the routing device can be configured.
The selected frame size influences the number of configurable inputs and outputs in the Toolbox5, but it has no direct
influence concerning the functionality of the hardware. Depending on the chosen router frame, in the DSP Frame I/O 21 or
42 slots (actual 36 configurable slots) can be configured.

If DSP Frame I/O is selected, the currently configured layout of the router
is shown.
Slot 3 to 8 and 13 to 18 (as well as the slots 24 to 29 and 34 to 39 in a 6 HU frame) contain the MADI modules. Slot 13 to
18 (and 34 to 39 in a 6 HU frame) can be operated in a normal or a redundant mode. Please find more information on
MADI redundancy in the section Configuring MADI Redundancy.
Currently, only a single type of module can be configured on the slots 3 to 8 and 13 to 18 (as well as 24 to 29 and 34 to
39 in a 6 HU frame). To make the configuration process easier, the labels of each MADI port can be customized.
Additionally, you can set the Number of Channels for each MADI port. You can use all 64 channels of the MADI signal or
only the first 56 channels. Moreover, it possible to configure if the MADI port is linked to an 52/MB MADI Breakout System.
By choosing this option, in the course of the configuration you will have some special setup possibilities for the linked
52/MB. More information on the configuration with a linked 52/MB can be found in the section Linked 52/MB at a MADI
Port.
In the next column you choose, whether the digital format should be AES10 MADI or 32bit float. Headroom allows to
adjust a corresponding level, which should refer to the internal reference level of 0 dBint.

Important

You need at least 3 modules to operate an 52/XR MADI Router. These modules
are inserted into the DSP Frame I/O layout by default.
· Slot 1: 52-6710 Sync Module
· Slot 2: 52-6850 Communication Controller
· Slot 9: 52-6440 Router Kernel
You are allowed to change the type of the preconfigured router kernel (type
52-6442 supports 2048 channels, type 52-6440 supports 4096 channels), but at
least one routing kernel is necessary for operation.
For each of these preconfigured, essential modules, you can configure a
redundant module into the designated slot of the DSP frame.
Inserting a redundant module into the DSP Frame I/O does not automatically
enable the redundancy for this part of the system. Make sure to insert redundant
hardware into your frame, too.

Click onto the + sign in front of the DSP Frame I/O branch and select an existing port to reach the channel
configuration.
If the Number of Channels is set to 64 or 56, you can switch channels to mono or stereo and set a label for each
single input and output here. Additionally, you can set a local level adjustment for single inputs and outputs, which differs
from the global settings.

The Toolbox5 shows the inputs and outputs of a chosen MADI Port.

Linked 52/MB at a MADI Port
If a MADI port was linked to an 52/MB MADI Breakout System, you are able to define the layout of the connected 52/MB
device here. Basically, this part of the configuration is to make the whole configuration process easier. The 52/MB
hardware itself must not be configured.

The channels of the selected I/O modules can be configured to mono or stereo and you can set a label for each single
input and output here. Additionally, you can set a local level adjustment for each single input and output.
Moreover, you can adjust the headroom for the modules of the type 52-5250. Please note, that these settings influence
the internal reference level (0 dBint) you select in the Level Adjust column. If you change the headroom of an
52-5250 module and use the function Set all analog level afterwards, may be some misinterpretation will occur.
Therefore, check the values in the Level Adjust column of all 52-5250 modules and, if necessary, choose again the
wanted values for the single inputs and outputs to correct the settings.

Configuring MADI Redundancy
Slot 13 to 18 (and slot 34 to 39 in a 6 HU frame) can be operated in a normal or a redundant mode. If switched to
redundant, a MADI port duplicates the signals of the corresponding port on the left side of the router backplane.
Choose Enabled in the column Redundancy at the DSP Frame I/O to define the respective MADI port as redundant. If
the corresponding module on the left side fails, the redundant module on the right side will automatically take over.
Example
The MADI ports of slot 13 and 14 are switched to be redundant. Now they are carrying the same output signals as the
MADI ports of slot 3 and 4. They should be fed with redundant input signals of the MADI ports 3.1, 3.2, 4.1 and 4.2.

Toolbox5, DSP Frame I/O; The MADI ports of slot 13 and 14 are switched
to redundant.

Synchronisation
Selecting the Audio branch, displays the synchronisation window. Here you can do refinements on the current device
synchronisation.
It is possible, to configure two independent synchronisation sources. Sync Source 1 is always meant to be the master
sync source and is used by the system as long as it is available. If it fails and a secondary sync source is configured and
available, the system automatically switches over to Sync Source 2. If this source is not available, too, or not
configured, the system switches to Internal Synchronisation.
Currently, the Toolbox5 supports synchronisation frequencies of 48 kHz and 44.1 kHz. In a future version, also 96 kHz and
88.2 kHz will be supported. The hardware is already able to handle both higher frequencies.
Switch on the VariSpeed option, if you want to synchronise the router to an external synchronisation frequency with a
larger jitter. This option activates a VariPLL, which could handle such sources.
You can choose the synchronisation source out of a list of 9 possible sources:
·
·

·
·
·
·
·

Please refer to the section Connecting the Device to a PC to learn more about the network configuration of an 52/XR MADI
Router.

7.2

Operation with DHDOS and DHDOM
During its operation, the 52/XR MADI Router is controlled by the DHD Operation Server (DHDOS) and the user interface
software DHD Operation Manager (DHDOM).
The DHDOS acts in the background and administrates the actual control of the crosspoints.
The DHDOM is a comfortable user interface to set the crosspoint states of an 52/XR MADI Router directly or scheduled.
The software also offers a lot of additional options like user accounts and the adjustment of the software user interface
concerning the rights and needs of each single user.

Note

Please find a comprehensive description of the DHDOS and the DHDOM and
there functions in the DHDOS & DHDOM manual.

Maintenance

27

For maintenance purposes the DHD Maintenance software is provided. Start the application by double clicking the file
MTN5.exe.
It also possible to open the maintenance window in the Toolbox5 software. Therefore, choose the command
Maintenance Window of the View menu or just press the key F7.

Weblink

Please find a comprehensive description of the maintenance software and its
functions in the section Maintenance Window in the Toolbox5 Manual.

8.1.1

Firmware Update
When it leaves the factory, each 52/XR MADI Router is equipped with the most current operating software (firmware). As
we are continuously developing the software, it might occur that after a while a newer version than that on your system
will be available. Ask your DHD dealer about the current firmware version for your 52/XR MADI Router.
If a newer version is available, you first have to decide if it makes sense in your case to update the firmware.

Tip

Only upgrade the operating software of the 52/XR MADI Router if:
· you need new functions your version does not support yet,
· the new version eliminates a failure which impairs your system or
· DHD or your DHD dealer recommend that update.
The operating software of a well running system usually does not require an
update.

If you want to upgrade your operating software, first determine the firmware version that is currently running on your
system.
1. Select the system in the device list of the maintenance software DHD Maintenance (DHDMT), which you want to
upgrade with a new firmware version.
2. In the Version line of the main window you will find information about the currently running firmware version.
3. A firmware update is provided as a file. For the firmware update of an 52/XR the same file is used like for the 52/MX
Mixing Console. Firmware update files for the 52/XR MADI Router are named according to the following pattern:
MX-XR_06-03-14.fw6
The MX-XR_06 code indicates an official firmware version for the 52/XR MADI Router. Figure two (here: 03) represents
the major version of the firmware. The third figure refers to the minor version of the firmware (here: 14). The fourth
figure always must be 01, meaning that it is an official version. This figure is not explicitly pointed out in the file name.
Every 52/XR MADI Router firmware file ends with .fw6.
Select the Update Firmware... command from the Update menu and open the update file. A validity check will
follow and you will be asked to either start the update process by confirming or to cancel the process.

Confirming the firmware upload.
4. The updating process starts after pressing Yes. A progress bar is shown during the process, which will only take a few
seconds.

The progress bar during the firmware upload.
5. After successfully uploading the file, you will be asked to reset the system. The system loads the new operating
software after a restart.

Confirming the reset.

Important

A reset will interrupt the audio process of the system for a short period of time.
Please only reset your 52/XR MADI Router when you are sure that a reset will
not affect any on-air signals.

You can postpone the reset to a later time. Please note that the system will keep running the old firmware version
until being restarted.

8.3.11 52-6710A - XR Router/DSP Sync. Module

Meaning of the LEDs of the 52-6710 Module.
1. This LED is permanently on if the module is powered.
2. Indicates, that the module is running. This LED blinks. Seen from left to right over the entire system, these LEDs should
blink as a moving light.
3. Indicates, that the primary sync is active. Dependent on the configuration, the primary sync source can be the upper
BNC (Word Clock, AES3/EBU or Video), the lower BNC (Word Clock or AES3/EBU), the RJ45 connector of the sync
module (AES3/EBU), a MADI signal (MADI port 3.1 or 13.1) or the internal sync. This LED can not be on if LED 4 glows
and it blinks during the video signal locking process.
4. Indicates, that the secondary sync is active. Dependent on the configuration, the secondary sync source can be the
upper BNC (Word Clock, AES3/EBU or Video), the lower BNC (Word Clock or AES3/EBU), the RJ45 connector of the sync
module (AES3/EBU), a MADI signal (MADI port 3.1 or 13.1) or the internal sync. This LED can not be on if LED 3 glows
and it blinks during the video signal locking process.
5. The LED is permanently on if the primary sync is functional. Blinking indicates, that PLL 1 is out of range.
6. The LED is permanently on if the secondary sync is functional. Blinking indicates, that PLL 2 is out of range.
7. Indicates, that the primary AES3/EBU sync signal (connected to the upper BNC, the lower BNC or the RJ45 jack of the
sync module) is locked.
8. Indicates, that the secondary AES3/EBU sync signal (connected to the upper BNC, the lower BNC or the RJ45 jack of the

Example of Use
In the following drawing, you can find an example how to integrate an 52/XR MADI Router into an audio network.

Series 52 audio network with an 52/XR MADI Router and 52/MX consoles.
In this example an 52/XR MADI Router is located in the machine room. The router is connected to the mixing consoles in
the studios (Control Room 1, Control Room 2 and News) via MADI. Within the DHD ethernet network, the router is
able to exchange control data with other devices.
Please find more information about the wiring of an 52/XR MADI Router in the 52/XR Installation Guide.
