1. . Safety precautions
This device is intended to be used in a professional
environment with restricted access only.
1.3. Foreword
Thank you for purchasing one of the most innovative digital audio converters on
the market. The multiverter was designed with true vendor independence and
interoperability in mind, with the idea to make all your gear interact seamlessly.
Please note that due to the complex nature of such a product we decided to
introduce functionality step-by-step, so you will find some functions described in
this manual marked “available as firmware update”. We will continue to supply
firmware updates to continuously improve the functionality of the device.
Please don't hesitate to tell us your feedback, thoughts and ideas, we try hard to
make the multiverter your most valuable tool!

. INTRODUCTION

. . Rear panel
MVR-64
.3. Overview
The multiverter is a unique device which allows you to convert digital audio data in
any direction between the most popular formats: ADAT, MADI optical, MADI
coaxial, MADI-TP, AES50, Dante and others (via break-out boxes).
All inputs can freely be routed to all of the outputs, with an arbitrary number of
splits and merges supported at the same time.
Channel-wise routing between dierent interfaces is supported via the remote
control via integrated web server, or via command line.
The routing matrix supports 448x448 channels (7x7 interfaces with 64ch each) at
single speed modes, 224x224 channels at double-speed and 112x112 channels at
quad-speed modes.
Using the optional SRC-64 Asynchronous Samplerate Converter Module (optional
hardware), asynchronous sample rate conversion on 64x64 bi-directional channels,
up to 192kHz is supported.
The device is prepared for headamp remote control (Yamaha, Behringer, MIDAS)*.
Diagnostics are made simple by an integrated headphones amplifier and a test
tone generator. Three power inlets allow operation from either AC or DC (battery
pack) with full redundancy.
.4. User interface
The device has been designed for fast and simple operation, with a no-frills
everything-at-a glance concept. The unit can be operated either
directly on the front panel
via the integrated web server
via command line (telnet or USB)
via MIDI (Preset recall only)
In this manual, the required steps for each operation mode are indicated by
Front panel, Web and Command line headers.
All operation modes can be used simultaneously, and any status change is
immediately reflected on all interfaces. For example, it's possible to make some
routing connections on the front panel, and later change them via the web
interface or the command line.
* Not supported in firmware 4.1. Functionality will be supplied later via firmware update

User's Manual
Front panel
Most settings are directly accessible without the need to walk through lengthy
menus:
To change a setting, first push the appropriate rectangular button (e.g. Set ).
You have now entered “Menu” mode, indicated by a yellow blinking cursor.
Move the cursor by turning the encoder (rotary knob) left or right to move it to
the desired setting.
When the cursor is at the beginning or end of the column or line, continue
turning to make it wrap around.
Push the encoder knob (or push the appropriate menu button again) to confirm
your changes. To return to the previous state without making any changes, push
the ⮌ Back button.
When the device is normal operation (i.e. not within a menu), turning the
encoder knob changes “Volume” or “Channel” of the monitor headphones,
while pushing the encoder toggles between “Volume” and “Channel” mode.
Channel-wise routing is not available from the front panel due to the lack of
controls.
Web
Thanks to the integrated web server, the multiverter can be remotely operated
from any browser. This is completely self-contained, platform independent and
does not need any additional software.
Web control is the preferred method because it oers channel-
wise routing and provides the most convenient graphical
interface.
The web server runs on the Dante module, and can be configured to run.
(A) on the same network as the Dante audio. This is the normal configuration and
allows to use Dante Audio redundancy.
(B) on a separate network, isolated from the Dante audio. In this case, the
"Primary" port is used for audio, while "Secondary" port is used for remote control.

MVR-64
(A) Remote control on the audio network
To access the web control, figure out the symbolic name (as displayed in the
Dante controller, usually MVR-64-xxxxxx (with xxxxxx being some individual
number of the multiverter), and type the following into the browser's address
bar:
http://MVR-64-xxxxxx.local
Alternatively, you can type the IP address of the Dante module (as displayed
in the "Network Config" tab) into the address bar, e.g. 192.168.0.204
Please note that, depending on the network configuration, the module's IP
address can be reassigned by the server.

User's Manual
(B) Remote control on a dierent network
In the Dante Controller, under "Network Config", set Dante Redundancy to
"Redundant".
Connect the Audio network to the "Primary" port only and configure it as
desired.
Connect the Control network to the "Secondary" port and configure it as
desired.
