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

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%.
