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.
CHAPTER 1: Overview Applications MADI.MONI can be used in numerous applications where MADI connections are used. Both quick integrity check of the physical link and monitoring the audio signal serve the aim of solid operating conditions in MADI environments. Typical applications include: •...
• Contact your DirectOut representative for exchanging the battery. • Do not expose the battery to temperatures below 0°C or higher than 45° C. • The battery is excluded from warranty claims. page 8 of 40 MADI.MONI Manual - Version 1.1...
