In the Hardware Setup window, the “Output Trim” settings are irrelevant to the Delta-Link MADI HD because its inputs and outputs are all digital. Therefore, they can be used to set various Alpha-Link parameters as follows:
Channel Number | Parameter | If “A” is selected | If “B” is selected |
1 | Number of MADI channels | 56/28/14 | 64/32/16 |
2 | MADI NFS mode | Normal | Special |
3 | MADI DFS/QFS mode | SMUX | High Speed |
4 | WordClock input | WordClock | FrameClock |
(48kHz /44.1kHz) |
The 56/28/14 channel MADI mode of the Delta-Link MADI HD does not currently support varispeed operation whilst the 64/32/16 channel MADI mode for any unit can only run at fixed rate. In both modes the Delta-Link MADI HD unit’s tolerance for sample rate variation is ±0.5%.
