PDM II - Bypass functionality defined
All PDMs (PDM and PDM II) have a bypass relay that is activated by;
- pressing the BYPASS button on the front of the unit
- loss of power to the unit.
- a soft reboot of the unit.
However, the bypass is a hard relay and can only bypass PHYSICAL inputs (Analog or AES) to the same physical output type. The following table shows where BYPASS can be used during an update.
INPUT Source | OUTPUT Source | Works in BYPASS |
Analog | Analog | YES |
AES 3 | AES 3 | YES |
Analog | AES 3 | NO |
AES 3 | Analog | NO |
Analog or AES 3 | Any AoIP (AES 67 or Livewire) | NO |
Any AoIP (AES 67 or Livewire) | Analog or AES 3 | NO |
