Sample Rate Selection Menu
When the card is set as a Master Soundscape device and the Internal clock setting is selected, this menu allows a sample rate to be selected. The available sample rates are 44100Hz, 48000Hz, 88200Hz, 96000Hz, 176400Hz and 192000Hz.
In all other cases, the Sample Rate menu is

MADI Standard SMUX
When the MADI standard SMUX box is checked and the card is operating at high sample rates (88200Hz or higher), the data for each audio channel is transmitted or received over two or four channels of the MADI interface (ie., two at 88200 or 96000Hz, four at 176400 or 192000Hz). The number of available channels is divided by two or four accordingly at these sample rates.
When the MADI standard SMUX box is not checked, if operating at high sample rates (88200Hz or higher), the frame rate is multiplied by two or four and the frame size divided by two or four. The same restrictions to the number of channels apply as in SMUX mode.
For MadiXtreme 128 these settings apply to both MADI ports – they can not be set independently. For either card, please ensure MadiXtreme is set to the same mode as the external device(s) connected to its MADI port(s).

Status
In the Status section, the
A port is shown as locked if a valid MADI input signal is detected and
clock synchronization has been established. If a MADI input signal is detected but clock synchronization has not been established, the displayed status alternates between Locked and Unlocked.
If no MADI input signal is detected, or if the MADI signal detected is not valid, the port will be shown as unlocked. The later case might occur if
