Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of this Solid State Logic XLogic SDI-MADI unit. Please be assured that it will provide
you with many years of reliable service while delivering the pristine audio quality you expect from any Solid State Logic
product.
The SSL SDI-MADI is a cost-effective solution to the problem of connecting audio equipment to the SDI-based
infrastructure found in many broadcast facilities today. Occupying only 1U of rack space, the SDI-MADI provides the
interface between SDI video bit streams and digital audio. SDI-MADI extracts up to 16 audio channels from each of the
unit’s four SDI inputs to provide a total of up to 64 audio channels in both MADI (AES10id-2008) and AES3 (AES3-1992)
formats. All SDI inputs independently auto-sense between 3G, HD and SD standards and are provided with loop-
through connectivity for downstream equipment.
With a comprehensive range of synchronising options and switchable sample rate convertors, the SDI-MADI is designed
to reliably
and seamlessly integrate into any broadcast environment where SDI-embedded audio channels require format
conversion.
This manual covers the XLogic SDI-MADI’s connections and indications, including its various options for
synchronisation and external control. Please keep the manual in a safe place once you have installed the XLogic SDI-
MADI unit.
