FCC CFR 47, Part 15. CE Declaration of Conformity ATI Audio Inc., West Berlin, New Jersey 08091 USA, declares that all Model MCDA-208/ units are in conformity with the following EU regulations and amendments: Low Voltage Directive (LVD) 2006/95/EC (replaces 73/23/EEC) Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC): EMC Directive 2004/108/EC EMC: EN55103-1/-2:2009, electromagnetic environments E2.
AES3-2003, AES11-2003 and IEC958 SPDIF DESCRIPTION The ATI Model MCDA-208 contains an ultra-low jitter studio master clock generator, dual 1X4 AES/EBU Digital Audio Distribution. Operation of the unit is simple and straightforward, and it is housed in a rugged 2U rack mount enclosure. All audio connections are made directly to the unit’s built-in BNC connectors, and no special breakout cables or accessory jack panels are...

Since the purity of the clock reference is critical to the quality of the finished audio product, ATI has taken steps to assure that the MCDA generates the lowest jitter clock reference available. The MCDA’s internal reference is derived from a 24 MHz precision oscillator and divided down to achieve an ultra-stable signal, rather than multiplying up from a base reference as in some other units.

FRONT PANEL DISPLAYS AND SWITCHES POWER Indicates that the MCDA is powered and power switch is on. INPUT FAULT Indicates loss of carrier on any of the four inputs, INPUT 1 (CLOCK 1), INPUT 2 (CLOCK 2), AES SYNC-IN (AES SYNC) or WORD CLOCK INPUT (WCLK). CLOCK SOURCE SELECT Selects timing reference source for clock generator.

INPUT RE-CLOCKING Indicates Input Re-Clocking is On or Off. Press the RE-CLOCKING button to toggle the setting. Note that this function applies only to the AES/EBU inputs and does not affect the AES External Sync and Word Clock inputs. Settings are individual for either INPUT 1 (AES 1) or INPUT 2 (AES 2).
The switches are labeled left to right BANK A switch “1” is “DIP Switch 1 in the following tables. DIP Switches 7 through 12 have no function in the MCDA-208/DA106. In this view Outputs 1-4 are connected to input 1. OUTPUT 5 to 8 are connected to Word Clock generated by the WORD CLOCK INPUT.

MCDA-208 BLOCK DIAGRAM Input processing includes transformer isolation, cable termination, cable equalization, and AES digital audio interface receiver (DIR) and digital audio interface transmission (DIT). The output of each input signal processor is routed to a multiplexing chip which allows connection to each of the three output groups.

INSTALLATION LOCATION The MCDA is readily installed into a 2 RU, 19” rack. The MCDA is only to be installed in an inside location where it is protected from inclement weather. Operate the MCDA in temperature range of +5 to +40°C (105°F), with relative humidity ranging from 5 to 85%. POWER Connector for socket fused IEC 320/C13.
