CHAPTER 1: Overview Introduction MADI.9648 is a synchronous MADI sample rate converter with four independent SRC blocks for bidirectional conversion of 128 audio channels. Equipped with eight MADI ports it features synchronous low latency conversion in a ratio of exactly 1:2 or 2:1 to translate between 2 FS (88.2/96 kHz) and 1 FS (44.1/48 kHz).
CHAPTER 1: Overview Applications MADI.9648 enables an easy-to-handle integration of external equipment with most recent live consoles with 96 kHz processing. Typical applications include: • monitoring • external effects • ... Scheme 6 or 8 DOWN 5 or 7 DOWN The ports underlined are used as clock (and signal source for 1 FS to 2 FS) once both input ports detect signal.
We would like to remind you to please check carefully whether the failure is caused by erroneous configuration, operation or connection before sending parts for repair. page 8 of 32 MADI.9648 Manual - Version 1.2...
