Applications

EXBOX.64 can be used for conversion and refreshing
of MADI signals (AES10) and dialects of MADI.
Typical applications include:
• conversion of MADI signals (coaxial <> optical)
• refreshing the signal for cable length extension
(bridging the optical port)

How it works

The input signals are cross patched: i.e. input of
the coaxial port is output at the optical port and vice
versa.
The output signal is re-clocked and - at the coaxial
port - refreshed electrically. Both input signals are not
required to be in sync to each other.
The frame structure of the MADI signal is kept
unchanged - bittransparent signal flow. This means
that even proprietary adaptions of MADI (AES10) will
pass through the unit in their native state.
Both output ports don't carry a signal unless a valid
input signal has been detected at the corresponding
input ports.
