MTX-MRX Editor
User Guide
MTX-MRX Editor is software for connecting, constructing, and controlling a system that uses MTX
series, MRX series, XMV series, EXi8/EXo8, R series (AD/DA), and Tio1608-D units. The settings you
make in MTX-MRX Editor are sent to the MTX series, MRX series, XMV series, EXi8/EXo8, R series
(AD/DA), and Tio1608-D units that are connected via Ethernet.
After the settings have been sent, the system will operate without a computer.
The control panel of a DCP series unit or an MCP1 can also be used to control the system in real time.
A paging system can be constructed using PGM1/PGX1 units.
If you’re using the MRX, refer also to the “MRX Designer User Guide.”

Chapter 1.
An overview of MTX-MRX Editor
An audio system control network
When multiple MTX series, MRX series, XMV series, EXi8/EXo8, R series (AD/DA), and Tio1608-D
units are connected to an Ethernet network, they will operate together as a single audio system.
This is
called an “MTX/MRX system,” and a space containing multiple MTX/MRX systems is called a
“project.” If a computer is connected to the network, the computer can control the MTX/MRX system
via the MTX/MRX.
Terms used in this user guide
●YDIF
This is a digital audio transmission format that uses Ethernet cables to send and receive
up to 16 channels of audio and word clock. YDIF makes it easy to connect MTX units
to share buses and expand the number of input/output channels (Cascade mode), or to
connect MRX and XMV/EXi8/EXo8 units so that digital audio signals can be conveyed
without deterioration (Distribution mode).
* If the MRX is part of an MTX/MRX system, only Distribution mode is available.
This format does not include control signals. To send and receive control signals, you
must separately connect the NETWORK connectors.
●Dante
This is a digital audio transmission format developed by the Audinate Corporation that
uses Ethernet cables to send and receive up to 1024 channels of audio together with
word clock and control signals. An MTX/MRX system can use up to 64 channels, and
there can be a maximum of 256 channels for the entire project.
●UNIT ID
This is a unique ID that is assigned to the MTX/MRX, XMV, EXi8, EXo8, PGM1,
MCP1, R series (AD/DA), and Tio1608-D.
The unit ID is specified on the rear panel of each unit. On the MCP1, this is specified
in the utility screen of the unit.
●Panel ID
This is a unique ID assigned to a DCP. It must not conflict between DCP units that are
connected to the same MTX/MRX.
The panel ID is specified for each DCP.
●Components and parameters
Audio processing modules such as equalizers and compressors are called
“components.”
Editable elements of a component are called “parameters.”
●Configuration
This is the basic group of parameters, which you will set first in MTX-MRX Editor.
Here you will specify how audio is patched between the MTX/MRX and the other
external devices.

These settings are not included in a preset file.
●Preset
A preset is a set of parameters. Presets can be recalled from a DCP unit, a wireless DCP,
or an MCP1 unit, via GPI, from an MTX unit or MRX unit, or from MTX-MRX Editor.
Fifty presets can be stored in an MTX/MRX system.
●Emergency mode
If the “Preset” dialog box’s [Emergency Recall] setting is [ON], the MTX/MRX will
enter this mode when it receives an EMG (Emergency) signal from an external device,
or when the input to the +24V [GPI IN] pin (IN 8 for the MTX3, and IN 16 for the
MTX5-D and MRX7-D) falls below 2.5V. In this mode, the unit will operate as follows.
• The current state will be remembered. This remembered state is used to return to the
original state when the unit exits Emergency mode.
• The preset specified by the “Preset” dialog box’s [Emergency Recall] setting will be
recalled.
• Operations from an external controller such as a DCP will no longer be received. (On
the MCP1, only the utility page can be operated.)
• If [Block all paging] is selected in the “PGM1/PGX1” dialog box, the entire paging
system including the scheduler will stop.
• The unit will be taken offline from MTX-MRX Editor.
• All MTX/MRX units in the same MTX/MRX system will enter Emergency mode.

What are YDIF connections?
(Cascade mode and Distribution mode)
An MTX/MRX system has the following two connection modes. When connecting multiple YDIF
devices (when making YDIF connections), you must choose one of these modes. In either case, the
system can easily be expanded at low cost.
Use the “Device Configuration Wizard” dialog box to switch modes.
●Cascade mode
This allows up to eight channels of matrix buses to be shared between multiple MTX
units. Mic inputs can be expanded to a maximum of 32 channels, and eight mixes can
be created.
In cascade mode, YDIF is used as the internal bus; this means that an EXi8 on the input
side and an EXo8/XMV on the output side cannot be connected via YDIF.
Cascade mode cannot be selected if the MTX/MRX system includes an MRX unit.
●Distribution mode
This is used when inputting audio signals from an EXi8 to an MTX/MRX, when
inputting/outputting between MTX/MRX units, and when outputting from an MTX/
MRX to an XMV/EXo8. This allows a single audio signal to be distributed to multiple
output destinations. An MTX/MRX and XMV can be digitally connected via YDIF to
easily construct a high-quality system.

What are Dante connections?
(Daisy-chain connection and Star connection)
A Dante network can be connected in two ways.
Set the DIP switches of the devices as appropriate for the type of connection.
❑Daisy-chain connection
In a daisy-chain connection, each device is connected to the next device, in a chain. This method
makes it simple to construct a network, and does not require a network switch. Use this method for
simple systems in which a relatively small number of units are to be connected.
As the number of connected units increases, you will need to increase the latency. Also, if a problem
such as a broken cable occurs, the network will be disconnected at that point, and communication
with units beyond that point will be impossible.
❑Star connection
In a star connection, devices are connected with a network switch at their center. By using a network
switch that supports gigabit Ethernet, you can create even large-scale networks that require high
bandwidth. We recommend that you use a network switch that supports functionality for
controlling and monitoring the network (e.g., QoS, which gives priority to clock synchronization
and audio transmission for specified data routings).
With this type of connection, it is typical to create a redundant network so that audio will continue
being conveyed even if a problem occurs with the network.

❑About redundant networks
A redundant network is a network consisting of two circuits: a primary circuit and a secondary
circuit. Normally, communication occurs on the primary circuit, but if a problem such as a broken
cable occurs on the primary circuit, communication will automatically switch to the secondary
circuit. By using this type of connection with a star connection, you can construct an environment
that is more resistant to network problems than a daisy-chained network.
In order to communicate with MTX-MRX Editor or a Wireless DCP when operation has
switched to the secondary Dante connection, you must re-connect the computer or Wi-Fi
access point to the secondary Dante network switch.

Patching Chapter 1. An overview of MTX-MRX Editor
MTX-MRX Editor User Guide
15
Patching
In a digital audio network such as YDIF or Dante that comprises the MTX/MRX system, you will
make settings on the transmitting device to specify “which output channel/bus’s signals will be sent
to which channels of the digital audio network,” and make settings on the receiving device to specify
“which channels of the digital audio network will be received on which input channels.”
This type of patching mechanism allows the signal of one channel of the digital audio network to
be received by multiple devices.
In MTX-MRX Editor, settings for transmission/reception within the MTX unit are made in the
“MAIN” screen, settings for transmission/reception within the MRX unit are made in the “MRX
Designer” window, and settings for transmission/reception with external devices such as the XMV
or EXi8 are made in the “EXT. I/O” screen.
Settings for connecting the MTX/MRX’s analog output to the XMV’s analog input are also made in
the “EXT. I/O” screen.

Connect the devices and your computer as shown in the configuration diagram.
Connect the device to the computer using its [Dante] connector for a Dante-equipped unit
or its NETWORK connector for an MCP1 and YDIF-equipped unit. Normally you will
connect the devices to the computer via a network switch. Only in the case of Dante-
equipped models when using a daisy-chain connection, you will connect the units to the
computer in a daisy-chain. If there is only one MTX/MRX unit, you can also connect the
computer directly to the MTX/MRX. If connecting the MCP1 and PGM1, you will need
an IEEE802.3af compliant PoE network switch or PoE injector. For details, refer to the
respective installation manual.
Turn on the power of the device.
In the MCP1’s settings page, verify that IP Setting is set to [UNIT ID], and set the
UNIT ID.
Select the network card and specify the IP address of the computer.
To select the network card, use the “Network Setup” dialog box which you can access from
the [System] menu. Set the network card’s IP address to 192.168.0.x (x is a number other
than 0, 255, or the unit’s UNIT ID) and the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0. The IP address
setting for the network card is made in Control Panel “Network Connections.” You can
access “Network Connections” by clicking the [Open Network Connections] button in the

1FBS setting area
FBS (Feed Back Suppressor) is a function that prevents the unpleasant acoustic
feedback that occurs when sound from a speaker is picked up by a mic and re-
amplified. In addition to being unpleasant, acoustic feedback places a strain on the
speakers, and can damage them. To prevent such feedback, place the speakers so that
their sound will not be picked up by the mic and amplified. If acoustic feedback still
occurs, you can use FBS to improve the feedback margin.
FIXED
After the speakers and mics have been installed, and while the MTX series settings are
being made, this method proactively finds feedback points in the current sound system,
and applies the appropriate filters. This is effective for mics whose position is fixed.
•[ON] button

is in use, and updates the filter settings accordingly. This is effective for wireless mics
whose location is not fixed, and which can be used in a variety of positions.
•[ON] button
Turns the DYNAMIC function on/off. FBS operation will begin when you turn this on.
• [CLEAR] button
Clears the filter settings. A confirmation message will appear. Click the [Yes] button

Performing FBS detection for the FIXED type
In order to obtain good results, you should set up the mics, speakers, and other sound
equipment, and adjust the output EQ settings before performing detection. If you want,
FIXED can also be used in conjunction with DYNAMIC.
1. Adjust the power amp output volume.
While vocalizing into the mic, gradually raise the power amp output to the volume
at which the system will be operated in actual use. In addition, clap your hands and
verify that feedback does not occur.
2. Maintain silence in the space for which you want to suppress feedback.
3. Select the input channels in MTX-MRX Editor.
4. Click the [FBS/AGC] button.
5. Click the FIXED [DETECT] button to open the detection start screen.
6. Click the [START] button in the detection start screen. Detection will
start.
Raise the faders little by little during detection. You can make fine adjustments by
operating the mouse wheel.
Feedback will occur, but the MTX will immediately detect that frequency and insert
a filter. Repeat this operation. When you have obtained a satisfactory result, click the
[STOP] button to end the procedure.
7. After detection has ended, click the [CLOSE] button to close the screen.
• The indicator will light when the following occurs.
-When a frequency is displayed
-When a currently-displayed frequency is rewritten
• If you don’t notice any result, it may be that detection has failed. Click the [CLEAR] button
to discard the detection result. If you want to make the settings once again, adjust the
position of the mics and speakers, adjust the volume, and try the above procedure once
again from step 1.
In some cases, detection will not occur correctly if the overall volume is raised excessively,
or if the mics and speakers are too close, or if sound from a speaker is directly entering a
mic.
• When using FIXED, calculation will continue repeatedly even after all seven filters have
been displayed, for example to combine the frequencies that are closest to each other.
However when using DYNAMIC, if all seven filters are already displayed but new feedback
is found, the filter that was specified first and that will have the least effect on the audio
quality will be discarded, and replaced by the newly-specified filter. A filter will be
discarded automatically after a certain length of time has elapsed since it was applied.
• It is not possible to completely eliminate all feedback in all environments.
• If feedback increases when you raise a fader, and is not automatically suppressed, lower
the fader to prevent the speakers from being damaged.
The MTX cannot detect multiple feedback points simultaneously. Settings will be easier if you
raise the fader slowly so that feedback occurs gradually.

AGC (Auto Gain Controller) is a function that automatically compensates the gain
according to the input level, keeping a constant output level for an incoming signal
whose level is changing. For example, differences in how closely and how loudly a
person is speaking into a mic can make their amplified voice vary in volume, making it
less intelligible. In such cases, the volume will be automatically adjusted within a fixed
range.

“DUGAN AUTOMIXER” screen
In a system used for unscripted speech, the automixer detects the mics that are in use and
automatically optimizes the gain distribution, maintaining a consistent system gain
between multiple mics without requiring an engineer to be constantly adjusting the faders.
The Dugan Automixer provided by the MTX automatically adjusts the automix gain of
input channels 1–4 on the MTX3 or input channels 1–8 on the MTX5-D.
In this explanation, we describe using the Dugan Automixer with three mics.
The Dugan Automixer differs from the functionality of a limiter or an auto level controller.
When multiple people are speaking, the engineer can use the faders to adjust individual
levels as usual. Even when nobody is speaking, the mic audio level is detected and the gain
is distributed automatically, so the faders can be left raised.
The automixing algorithm is only complete when all the channels in an automixing group
are summed.

When one person speaks, the gain of that mic
instantly rises, and the gain of the other mics
decreases. The same thing happens when a
different person speaks.
When two people speak simultaneously, the
gain is automatically distributed between the
two mics so that the total gain remains constant,
and the gain of the remaining mic decreases.

• If the [level] indicator lights red, lower the mic input gain.
2Meter
The meter provides three display modes: gain (green: automix gain) /input (yellow:
input level) /output (blue: output level). The display mode switches each time you press
the [meters] button in the master field.
Normally you will leave this in the “gain” display mode.

3[weight] slider
Adjusts the relative sensitivity between input channels. Set the meter display to “gain,”
and adjust the weight setting so that the meters are at approximately the same level
when there is no input. For example if noise is heard near a certain mic (e.g., air
conditioner wind noise), lowering the weight value of that channel will reduce the
noise.
The automixer calculates the proportion of a specific channel’s input level relative to the
mix of all inputs in the group. The following examples describe how weight control
works.
❍If the weight setting value is raised on one channel
• The automix gain value of that channel increases, and the value of other channels
decreases.
• Channels with a high weight setting will more easily obtain automix gain in
comparison to other channels.
❍If the weight setting value is lowered on one channel
• The automix gain value of that channel decreases, and the value of other channels
increases.
• If people speak simultaneously into multiple mics, it will be more difficult to
differentiate them from the other mics.
4[group] button
Selects the group to which each channel belongs. Click the button to switch the group.
Two groups can be specified on the MTX3, or four groups on the MTX5-D.
5[override] button
When the master field’s [OVERRIDE] button is on, the setting of this button
determines whether the corresponding channel switches to “man” mode or “mute”
mode.
• If you turn on the [OVERRIDE] button of the master field when the [override] button
of the channel control field is on, the channel mode changes to “man.”
• If you turn on the [OVERRIDE] button of the master field when the [override] button
of the channel control field is off, the channel mode changes to “mute.”
• When the [OVERRIDE] button of the master field is turned off, that channel returns to
its previous mode.
6Input channel number
Indicates the input channel number.
7[man]/[auto]/[mute] buttons
These buttons toggle the channel between man/auto/mute.
man : The audio is passed through without modifying the gain. Select this mode
if singing into the mic.
auto : The automixer is turned on. Select this mode for conversation.
mute : The channel is muted.

In a sound system that includes multiple speaker units, it
may appear to a listener that the voice of the person talking
is originating from a nearby speaker unit, rather than from
the person themself. In such cases, you can correct the
perceived localization by delaying the audio to the distant
speaker unit according to the distance between the speaker
unit and the person who is talking.
If sound from different speaker units is mutually
interfering, adding a slight delay to one of the audio signals will shift the interfering
frequencies, lessening the unnatural sensation.

■Pre-installed LIBRARY
In the libraries that are preinstalled with MTX-MRX Editor, the limiter’s threshold value
is the value when using a power amp whose voltage gain is 26 dB.
As necessary, you should adjust settings such as the MTX’s limiter settings and output
level, and the power amp’s voltage gain and attenuator.
For example if you’re using a power amp with a voltage gain of 30 dB, you should either
lower the power amp’s attenuator value by 4 dB, or lower the MTX’s limiter threshold value
by 4 dB.
The voltage gain will differ depending on the type and settings of the XMV. For details,
refer to the XMV’s user manual.

“MY4-AEC” screen
In this screen you can make settings for the MY4-AEC installed in the MTX5-D’s [SLOT]. This screen
will not appear if any other card is installed or if no card is installed.
For example settings, refer to “MTX5-D/MY4-AEC System Setup Manual.”
In this screen you can make settings for the signals of the MY4-AEC.
In a teleconferencing system, the local and remote environments are respectively called the Near-
end and Far-end.
The MY4-AEC’s acoustic echo canceller (AEC) determines the echo component included in the
mic input signal by using the signal from the Far-end as the reference signal, and subtracts only the
echo component of the Far-end from the mic input signal. This allows clear audio from the Near-
end to be transmitted to the other party.
The MY4-AEC’s signals can be specified using the following choices and screens.

You can connect the MTX/MRX to your computer and send the settings created using MTX-MRX
Editor to the MTX/MRX, or synchronize the MTX/MRX with MTX-MRX Editor and edit the
settings. You can also load data from the MTX/MRX into MTX-MRX Editor.
The state in which the MTX/MRX and MTX-MRX Editor operate in synchronization is called the
“online state.” The action of bringing them into this state is called “Synchronization.”
Synchronization will match the settings of MTX-MRX Editor and the MTX/MRX itself; when the
settings of both are in a matching state, they will go online, allowing the MTX/MRX to be
controlled in real time.
If emergency mode occurs, the system will go offline. It is not possible to synchronize with an
MTX/MRX system that is in emergency mode.

“GPI” dialog box Chapter 7. Dialog boxes/Software applications
MTX-MRX Editor User Guide
224
❑“GPI” dialog box
GPI stands for General Purpose Interface. By using the GPI input/output, you can remotely control
the MTX/MRX via custom-made controllers or external devices. A controller that is connected to
the GPI input connector can be used to switch presets on the MTX/MRX or to control the
parameters of components. GPI input/output settings are made individually for each device.
Display devices such as LEDs and lamps or external control equipment made by other
manufacturers can be connected to the GPI output connector, letting you control the external
device according to the state of presets or parameters.
For hardware-related details such as how to connect the [GPI] connector, refer to the owner’s guide
of each unit.
<Usage example 1>
Using a home-made switch panel to switch presets
Connect a momentary switch to each of the MTX/MRX’s [GPI IN-1] through [GPI IN-3]
connectors, and make settings so that they will recall Preset1–3.
<Usage example 2>
Controlling the volume of the MTX/MRX
Connect a variable resistor to one of the MTX/MRX’s [GPI IN] connectors, and assign
Output Ch Level to the GPI Input Port so that the volume will be controlled.
<Usage example 3>
Controlling the volume of multiple MTX/MRX units
Connect a variable resistor to one of the MTX/MRX’s [GPI IN] connectors, and assign
ZONE Out DCA Group to the GPI Input Port so that the zone volume of multiple
MTXMRX units will be controlled in tandem.
This dialog box can be edited only while offline.

Calibration procedure
1. Connect your external device to the MTX/MRX’s [GPI] connector.
2. Select the check box of the channel numbers for which you want to
perform calibration.
If you want to select all channels, select the [All Ports] check box.
3. To specify the detection range, increase the input from the external
device to the maximum and click the [Max] button; then decrease the
input to the minimum and click the [Min] button.
This lets you specify the optimal detection range as appropriate for voltage drop
caused by wiring or due to the specifications of your devices.
• The threshold for on/off switching will be the center value between the maximum and
minimum input voltage values (the sum of the maximum value and minimum value,
divided by 2). To prevent malfunctions, you should allow plenty of range for
detection.
• If the voltage has dropped because of cable length or noise, adjust the maximum
and minimum input voltage values. Since voltage may become unstable, configure
and set up your external circuit to ensure that there is ample distance between the
maximum and minimum values.

Workflow for paging settings
The workflow for making paging settings is as follows. For specific settings, refer to “MTX Setup
Manual.”
Notice
Input channels to which audio signals from a PGM1 are assigned should not be mixed in the “MATRIX”
screen. If these signals are mixed, the input from the PGM1 units will be output to the zone even if PTT
is off.
1. In the “Device Config Wizard” dialog box, configure the PGM1.
2. In the “Device Config Wizard” dialog box, specify which PGM1 unit will
be the 1st Priority Mic, and expand PGX1 units as necessary.
3. In the [DANTE] screen of the [EXT. I/O] screen, patch the PGM1’s
output to the input of the MTX5-D.
Drag&Drop

Notice
Input channels to which audio signals from a PGM1 are assigned should not be mixed
in the “MATRIX” screen. If these signals are mixed, the input from the PGM1 units will
be output to the zone even if PTT is off.
5. In the “PAGING” screen of the “ZONE” screen, assign the input from
the 1st Priority Mic specified in step 2 to 1st MIC.
In this example, CH1 is assigned to 1st Mic, CH2 to Mic2, CH3 to Mic3, CH4 to
Mic4, and STIN3L to SD.
6. As necessary, specify zone groups (collections of zones) in the right side
of the “PAGING” screen of the “ZONE” screen.
By assigning a Zone Group to a single zone/message select button of the PGM1, you
can lower the Program volume for multiple zones and broadcast using the PGM1.

Settings for controlling devices across subnets Appendix
MTX-MRX Editor User Guide
265
Settings for controlling devices across subnets
If you are controlling devices on a subnet that is different than that of MTX-MRX Editor, all devices
are distinguished by their IP address.
For this reason, it is necessary to make settings so that the IP settings of devices placed in MTX-
MRX Editor (these are called virtual devices) match the IP settings of devices on the network (these
are called real devices).
The IP settings of virtual devices are made in the “Match Device by IP Address” dialog box, and the
IP settings of real devices are made in the “IP Address” dialog box.
The following things are not possible between real devices that are assigned to different subnets.
•Preset Link
• Dante audio communication
Set the IP addresses so that they are unique for the entire communication path. If devices of the
same IP address exist on the communication path, they might not be distinguishable.
First, use the “Match Device by IP Address” dialog box to specify IP addresses for the virtual devices.
1.
In MTX-MRX Editor’s [System] menu, click [Match Device by IP Address].
The “Match Device by IP Address” dialog box opens.
2. Select the [Distinguish devices by IP Address] check box.
3. Click the tab of the system for which you want to specify IP addresses.
4. Specify the system’s subnet mask and default gateway, and the IP
address of each device.
If it is OK for the IP addresses to be consecutive, proceed as follows.
4 -1. In the “IP Address Range Finder” area’s IP Address field, enter the
IP address that you want to use.
4 -2. In the [Subnet Mask] list box, select the subnet mask.
4 -3. Click the [Find Range] button.

Settings for controlling devices across subnets Appendix
MTX-MRX Editor User Guide
266
“Range” shows the IP address setting range.
4 -4. Click the [Apply IP Address] button.
IP addresses are automatically assigned to the virtual devices in the system.
5. Click the [Apply] button.
6. Repeat steps 3 through 5 to assign IP addresses to all virtual devices.
7. When you have finished making settings, click the [OK] button.
Next, use the “IP Address” dialog box to specify IP addresses for the real devices.
When doing so, make settings that match the IP addresses of the virtual devices that were specified
in the “Match Device by IP Address” dialog box.
1. Set the computer’s IP address to “192.168.0.253” and the subnet mask
to “255.255.255.0”.
2. As the device’s settings, set IP SETTINGS to [UNIT ID] or set IP SELECT
MODE / IP Address Mode to [STATIC (IP) (Auto)], set the UNIT ID of all
devices to something other than FD so that none of the devices conflict,
and then power-on the devices.
3. While still offline, click MTX-MRX Editor’s [System] menu item [Device
Information].
The “Device Information” dialog box opens.
4. When all devices are shown in the “Device Information” dialog box,
click the [IP Address] button.
The “IP Address” dialog box opens.

Settings for controlling devices across subnets Appendix
MTX-MRX Editor User Guide
267
5. Click the [Auto-Assign IP Addresses] button so that the virtual device IP
settings specified in the “Match Device by IP Address” dialog box are
applied to the “IP Address” dialog box.
The “Auto-Assign IP Addresses” dialog box opens.
The IP settings of the virtual devices are shown.
6. If you need to connect to a DNS server, specify the [DNS Server] setting.
7. If there are no problems with the IP settings of all devices, click the
[Assign IP Addresses] button.
The settings are applied to the “IP Address” dialog box.
If there is a problem or if you want to change the settings, click the [Match Device
by IP Address] button, make the settings in the “Match Device by IP Address” dialog
box, and then click the [Assign IP Addresses] button once again.
You can also make IP settings for the real devices manually while referring to the IP
settings of the virtual devices. In this case, in the “IP Address” dialog box, select the
[Use the following IP Address] option button, and then enter the [IP Address] and
[Subnet Mask].
8. In the “IP Address” dialog box, select the device and click the [OK]
button.
The settings are applied to the real device.
9. In the device’s settings, set IP SETTINGS to [PC] or set IP SELECT MODE
/ IP Address Mode to [STATIC IP (MANUAL)], and then restart.
This completes the settings.
If the “Match Device by IP Address” dialog box’s [Match Device by IP Address] check box is
selected, use the IP address to associate the virtual device and real device. If the IP
addresses of the virtual device and the real device are different, the devices are shown both
in the Project screen’s network device area and in the MTX/MRX system’s area, even if the
UNIT ID is the same.
