Hardware Considerations The XLogic SDI-MADI is built in a 1U 19” enclosure. It is intended to be permanently installed in a standard 19” equipment rack. The unit has no internal fans and is cooled by natural convection. There are ventilation grilles in the top, bottom and both sides of the enclosure, and care must be taken to ensure that these are not blocked by cables or other equipment when the unit is installed.

Setting Up and Operation Sample Rate Converters Sample Rate Converters Sample Rate Converters Sample Rate Converters The sampling frequency of the audio data embedded in SDI video signals is 48 kHz. This is invariant, and is enshrined in the defining standards for all SDI formats.
Synchronisation Sync To Wordclock Sync To Wordclock Sync To Wordclock Sync To Wordclock SRC sync to an external wordclock is indicated by illumination of the ‘WK’ front panel LED. The clock source should be connected to the SYNC IN connector (a BNC socket) on the rear panel. Nominal frequency is 48 kHz 50ppm, and clock pulses should be of 5 V amplitude, positive-going.
