6.3.2 MADI I/O Cards 1.949.430, 1.949.431, 1.949.433
The MADI I/O card can establish a 64-channel MADI input and output to the
Stagebox or other MADI-equipped device. Optical inputs and out puts
are provided on SC connectors available in multi-mode and single-mode ver-
sions, as well as a version with RJ45 connectors for twisted-pair cable and an
additional word clock output on a BNC socket.
The auxiliary interface can be used as a redundant link.
It is possible to transmit any serial control signals, such as MIDI or Sony 9-
pin (machine control) through a MADI connection without losing any audio
bandwidth or microphone control of the remote I/O box. For this purpose, an
RS422 connector is located on this card (hub frame side). The desired baud
rate can be set with a rotary switch. The pinout of the RS422 connector can
be set to “device” or “controller” with a DIP switch, depending on the 3rd
party serial device connected.
