In the SETTINGS screen you can switch some global features:
BNC Termination
The wordclock of the A32 is terminated internally with a 75-ohm
resistor by default. When daisy chaining wordclock of several units,
you should leave this option set to ON. If you’re using T-connectors for
the connections set this option to OFF, because in this case only the
last unit in the chain should be terminated.
MADI 96k Frame
There are two MADI transfer standards for the SMUX/2 mode (64kHz –
96kHz):
48k Frame: Identical to SMUX/1. The signal of 1 channel is split
(multiplexed) across a pair of 2 channels in order to double the
bandwidth. The usual 64 MADI channels are therefore reduced
to 32 channels.
96k Frame: The MADI stream is natively reduced to 32 channels
by increasing the frame size and allowing channels to be
transmitted directly.
Both formats transfer the same number of channels (32). The
advantage of the 96k frame mode is that the receiver can distinguish
between SMUX/1 and SMUX/2 mode automatically and can switch
appropriately. Please ensure both units have the same setting.
