5. Technical Specifications
5.1 Digital
General
? Clocks: Internal, MADI In, Word Clock In
? Low jitter design: < 1 ns in PLL mode, all inputs
? Internal clock: 800 ps jitter, random spread spectrum
? Jitter suppression of external clocks: about 30 dB (2.4 kHz)
? Effective clock jitter influence on AD and DA conversion: near zero
? Provides nearly jitter-free word clock directly from the MADI input signal
? Input PLL ensures zero dropout, even at more than 100 ns jitter
? Sample frequencies: 32 / 44.1 / 48 / 88.2 / 96 / 176.4* / 192* kHz
*Not yet supported
MIDI
? 2 x MIDI I/O via breakout cable
? 1 x MIDI I/O via MADI
? PCI bus based hi-speed operation
? Seperate 128 byte FIFO for input and output
? MIDI state machine in hardware for reduced interrupt request load
? Invisible transmission via User bit of channel 56 (up to 48 kHz)
