MTX Setup Manual

Example 1) Basic MTX3 system example (analog connections)

 Settings in the “MATRIX” screen
Here you can specify which input channel will be sent to which zone. For details on send level and other parameters,
refer to “MTX Editor User’s Manual.”

In this example, make the settings shown in the above illustration. Clicking a cross point (a square area) or dragging
cross points will switch it on/off. If you right-click on a cross point, a context menu appears. You can select [All OFF]
to turn off all cross points. The cross point shows the send level as the amount of green.
With the settings shown here, the two microphones in hall A (CH3 and 4) are broadcast only to hall A. In addition, CD/
BGM/SD (STIN1–3) are being broadcast to the entire building. The microphone in the entrance (CH1) is assigned to be
broadcast to the entire building in the event of an emergency, and is therefore assigned in the “ZONE” screen
(described next) as 1st PRIORITY. If channel 1 is turned on in the matrix, the signal from the matrix (attenuated) and
the signal from Priority will be combined and output. Similarly, the microphone in the kitchen (CH2) is assigned as 2nd
PRIORITY that is valid only in zone 4 (Kitchen), and therefore is not specified in the matrix.
For the input channel faders in the lower left of the screen, the grayed-out faders show input levels, and the other faders
show input channel send levels. Grayed-out faders cannot be operated in this screen.

MTX Setup Manual

Example 1) Basic MTX3 system example (analog connections)

 Settings in the “ZONE” screen
In the “ZONE” screen you can make Priority DUCKER settings. The Priority Ducker function temporarily attenuates
the inputs from other channels when audio is input from a specified input channel, ensuring that the audio from the
specified input channel will be broadcast clearly. Priority is given in the order of “1st PRIORITY > 2nd PRIORITY
>Matrix Out signals.”

ZONE select
button

In this example, we assume that the microphone in the entrance (CH1) will be used to speak to the entire building.
Therefore, we select CH1 as the 1st PRIORITY SOURCE for zone 1 through zone 4, and click the [ON] button located
at the right of 1st PRIORITY to make it light. We select the kitchen microphone (CH2) as the 2nd PRIORITY
SOURCE only for zone 4 (Kitchen), and click the [ON] button located at the right of 2nd PRIORITY to make it light.
Because there’s no need to make settings for zones 5 through 8, make sure that the [ON] button at the right of 1st PRIORITY and 2nd PRIORITY are unlit (turned off).
Use the ZONE select buttons to switch the zone.
For details on each parameter, refer to “MTX Editor User’s Manual.”

MTX Setup Manual

Example 1) Basic MTX3 system example (analog connections)

 Settings in the “ROUTER” screen
In the “ROUTER” screen you can assign zones to outputs.
In this example we will leave the default settings unchanged, since the assignments are ZONE1=OUTPUT 1,
ZONE2=OUTPUT 2, ZONE3=OUTPUT 3, and ZONE4=OUTPUT 4.

MTX Setup Manual

Example 1) Basic MTX3 system example (analog connections)

 Digital Control Panel (DCP) settings
Here’s how to assign functions to the DCP that is installed in each zone.
To make these settings, choose the [Controller] menu item [Digital Control Panel].

Here we will use the example of the DCP located in Hall A of the Preset 01 Basic library.
Use the drop down list at the top of the screen to select the DCP for which you want to make settings.
When you click one of the numbered buttons, a “Settings” dialog box will appear; assign parameters to the controls. If
you assigned [SD Song Select & Play], enter the name of the file that you want to play.
When you’ve made the assignments, click to select “01 [No data]” and then click the [Store] button. In the “Store
Library” dialog box, change the name to “Basic” and then click the [OK] button.

In Basic, switch 1 is the preset select switch for the Party settings. Switches 3 and 4 control pause/resume for playback
of audio sources on the SD memory card. The knob controls the output level of zone 1.

MTX Setup Manual

Example 1) Basic MTX3 system example (analog connections)

Next click the [Copy] button, and then click “02 [No Data]” to select the second library item. With this selected, click
the [Paste] button. The library item you created as “Basic” will be copied.

After changing the PARAMETER of switch 1 to “01,” double-click “Basic” in “02 Basic” located in the left of the
screen, and change the name of the library item to “Party.” (After you’ve entered the name, press the key to
confirm the name change.) After making this change, click the [Store] button to overwrite-save the library item.

In Party, switch 1 is the preset select switch for the Basic settings. Other settings are the same as for Basic.

 Storing a preset
Now we’ll store the settings we’ve made up to this point as a preset.
By recalling presets from the MTX itself or from the DCP, you can switch the settings as appropriate for various situations.
To store or recall a preset, click the camera icon in the upper part of MTX Editor.

When you click the camera icon, the “Preset” dialog box will appear. You can create up to 50 presets.
Click the preset number that you want to store; the line will be selected. Then click the [Store] button, specify the preset
name, and click the [OK] button.
Click a location where the DCP column indicates “No Assign,” and choose a library that you specified on the DCP.

MTX Setup Manual

Example 1) Basic MTX3 system example (analog connections)

Up to this point, you made separate settings for zone 1 and zone 2. However in some cases, such as a party, you might
want to remove the boundary between zone 1 and zone 2 so that they can be a single meeting area. In this case, make
settings in the “ROUTER” screen to route zone 1 to output 2, so that zone 1 and zone 2 can be used as a single space.

MTX Setup Manual

Example 1) Basic MTX3 system example (analog connections)

If you store these settings as a different preset, you’ll be able to easily switch to settings suitable for a party.
If you use Recall Filter to specify that only ROUTER and DCP settings are recalled, other settings such as gain will
remain at the Basic settings even if you recall a party preset.

This completes settings in the offline state. Save the settings once again.

Q&A
Q:
A:

If YDIF connections are in a ring, does the order of connections matter?

Q:
A:

How should I make connections when daisy-chaining the Dante network connections in example 4?

The order is very important. If you ignore the order, it will not be possible to correctly specify the YDIF routing. Make
connections according to the “Configuration Diagram” displayed in [File] menu  [Print Configuration Diagram].

Make connections as follows.
Do not route the connection from the System B network switch to the System B XMV4280-D via the System A network switch. This will cause the Dante network to loop within System B, making communication impossible.
