8.1. MADI¶

Supports full AES5 compatibility.
Sample Rate Clock Sources: H9000 or the selected source.
32 In / 32 Out operation from 44.1kHz to 96kHz.
Optical, Coax, or ExpressCard (RME proprietary) connections.
Note
MADI coax requires 75 ohm cables, but is point-to-point only and does not allow daisy-chaining. Thus, it does not require any external termination. Termination is done internally on both transmitter and receiver ends. T-connectors should never be used.
8.1.1. MADI Setup¶
These options are available in the Setup page for the MADI Expansion Card:
- Source Select
Selects which source the MADI card receives audio from: Optical, Coax, or ExpressCard. The MADI card sends audio to Optical, Coax, and ExpressCard simultaneously.
- Tx Format
Auto/56, Auto/64, 56 ch, 64 ch.
- Lock Status
Indicates whether your selected port is connected or not. If GREEN, your MADI Expansion card is connected to your MADI interface. If RED, your MADI Expansion card is not connected or being detected by your MADI interface. Check your connections.
Note
The MADI expansion card only uses channels 1-32 and cannot be daisy chained after another MADI device.
