DATA PORT ROUTING The EMR data port router is controlled using Quartz protocol over IP through the frame controller. In any EMR data port system that has multiple modules, any module is considered the master and any module can communicate with the control system.

    EMR User's Guide High Density Modular Audio Router (AES, Analog, MADI, TimeCode, Data) 8.3.2. Verifying Output Signals from EMR Modules The EMR AES and analog output modules provide an internal tone generator that can be used to validate the hardware, rear plate connection, wiring and patch panel (if applicable) of the output path. By using the internal tone generator it is not necessary to prove the path to an input device and through the crosspoint.
