NOTE: It is possible, but not recommended, to connect a MADI signal without using
a corresponding sync signal. Providing an AES or Word sync results in lower
jitter and should be used whenever possible.
13. Format B AES SYNC THRU
This connector outputs a copy of the Format B AES Sync In signal.
14. Format B WORD SYNC IN
Connect a word sync signal to this BNC connector to synchronize the Format B
MADI signal. According to the AES specification, the word sync signal must use
the same sample rate as the incoming MADI signal to operate correctly.

15. Format B WORD SYNC OUT
This connector outputs a copy of the Format B Word Sync In signal. However,
this output generates a word sync signal at the Format B sample rate even if noth-
ing is connected to Format B Word Sync In. Note this important difference in
behavior from Format B AES Sync Thru.
