  • Page 6: Chapter 1: Overview Introduction

    Introduction Welcome to MADI.MONI, DirectOut’s battery powered, mobile monitor and tester for MADI signals. MADI.MONI provides a coaxial MADI I/O for standard BNC cabling and a fl exible SFP I/O to meet various connection standards by using SFP modules. Input signals are analysed (e.g. signal level, jitter, sample rate,...) and can be monitored via a headphone output.
