  • Page 8: Chapter 1: Overview

    The EXBOX.GPIO is a frontend for trigger signals that are processed within MADI streams. Applications The EXBOX.GPIO can be used to embed an input trig- ger (GPI) into a MADI signal and to output an incoming trigger from a MADI signal (GPO).
  • Page 9: How It Works

    The MADI ports are cross-connected; i.e. input port 1 feeds output port 2 and vice versa. MADI #1 MADI #1 MADI #2 MADI #2 EXBOX.GPIO *) Linked Port Selection Scheme © 2015 DirectOut GmbH EXBOX.GPIO Manual Version 1.0 page 9 of 44...
