Example: 64ch/32ch 48kHz If there is no input signal, no signal is shown. 88 MADI INPUT FRAME This shows the MADI input signal frame type (48K Frame/96K Frame). If there is no input signal, no signal is shown. 88 MADI INPUT SELECT (IF-MA64/EX only) Set the input connector used. Options: COAXIAL (default), OPTICAL 88 MADI OUTPUT CH MODE Set the output channel mode. Options: 64ch/32ch (default), 56ch/28ch NOTE Left of /: 1×Fs channel mode Right of /: 2×Fs channel mode 88 2×Fs MADI OUTPUT FRAME Set the MADI output signal frame type when the unit's sampling frequency is 88.2/96kHz. Options: 48K Frame, 96K Frame (default) CAUTION A MADI signal with a 88.2/96kHz sampling frequency and 48K Frame type cannot be distinguished from a 44.1/48kHz sampling frequency MADI signal. For this reason, a 48K Frame MADI input signal that does not match the sampling frequency of the receiving device cannot be received as proper audio data. When using a 48K Frame MADI signal, always match the sampling frequencies of the signal sending and receiving devices. NOTE The signal from the IF-MA64/EX MADI COAXIAL IN connector is output through its MADI COAXIAL THRU connector whether the unit is on or off. When the unit is turned on/off, however, the signal output from the MADI COAXIAL THRU connector will be momentarily disrupted. For this reason, time turning the unit on/off carefully when the signal output from the MADI COAXIAL THRU connector is being used by a connected device. Timecode synchronized recording This unit captures the timecode from its built-in timecode generator at the start of recording and uses it as the file start time.

MADI INPUT STATUS
This shows the channel mode/frame frequency of the MADI
input signal.
Example: 64ch/32ch 48kHz
If there is no input signal,
no signal
is shown.

MADI INPUT FRAME
This shows the MADI input signal frame type (48K Frame/96K
Frame).
If there is no input signal,
no signal
is shown.

MADI OUTPUT CH MODE
Set the output channel mode.

2×Fs MADI OUTPUT FRAME
Set the MADI output signal frame type when the unit's sampling
frequency is 88.2/96kHz.
Options:
48K Frame
,
96K Frame
(default)
CAUTION
A MADI signal with a 88.2/96kHz sampling frequency and
48K Frame type cannot be distinguished from a 44.1/48kHz
sampling frequency MADI signal.
For this reason, a 48K Frame MADI input signal that does
not match the sampling frequency of the receiving device
cannot be received as proper audio data.
When using a 48K Frame MADI signal, always match the
sampling frequencies of the signal sending and receiving
devices.
NOTE
The signal from the IF-MA64/EX
MADI COAXIAL IN
connector is output through its
MADI COAXIAL THRU
connector whether the unit is on or off.
When the unit is turned on/off, however, the signal output
from the
MADI COAXIAL THRU
connector will be momen-
tarily disrupted.
For this reason, time turning the unit on/off carefully when
the signal output from the
MADI COAXIAL THRU
connector
is being used by a connected device.
