Options 
EQ+D for Record 
Switches EQ and Dynamics of all input channels into the recording path. In case Loopback has 
been activated the EQ and Dynamics of the Output channel are within the recording path. See 
also chapter 27.5. 
Word Clock In Term. 
Checking this option terminates 
the word clock input internally 
with 75 Ohms. 
Mirror MADI1 Output to MADI2 
and 3 
This option provides a quick and 
simple solution to mirror the first 
MADI output to outputs 2 and 3. 
The outputs are reduced to 
2+2+64 channels (one MADI 
port). All the data routed and 
mixed to MADI port 1 is sent to 
MADI port 2 and 3 as well. 
Redundancy Mode 
With redundancy mode active the 
number of input channels is 
reduced to 66 (AES plus one 
MADI). The two other MADI ports 
are used as fail safe inputs and 
are used as soon as the signal on 
the 'Current MADI Input' fails. 
This setting is also a perfect 
choice if the card is used as 
single MADI I/O, saving 
resources and providing simpler 
channel selection dialogs. 
Clock Mode 
Sample Rate 
Used to set the current sample rate. This is the same setting as in the Audio MIDI Setup, just 
added here for your convenience. 
Clock Source 
The unit can be configured to use its own clock (Internal = Master), or one of the input signals 
(Word, MADI, AES, Sync In). If the selected source isn't available (No Lock), the unit will 
change to the next available one (this behaviour is called AutoSync). If none is available then 
the internal clock is used. The current clock source is displayed as Current Clock. 
Input Status 
Displays the state of the current input signal: 
•  Clock state (No Lock, Lock, Sync) 
•  Sample rate (coarse) 
•  MADI Frame format (48K or 96K) 
•  Channel format (64 or 56 channels)
