Introduction
Welcome to ANNA-LISA, DirectOut’s battery powered and mobile analyser and
signal generator for MADI signals. ANNA-LISA provides a coaxial MADI I/O for
standard BNC cabling and a fl exible SFP I/O to meet various connection standards
by using SFP modules. Input signals are analysed (e.g. signal level, jitter, sample
rate,...) and can be output or replaced by a generated signal (e.g. white/pink noise,
sine waves,...).

How it works
The signal of the selected input is analysed. Analysis results are displayed on the
device itself via simple ‘traffi c light’ LEDs, detailed information can be obtained
with a remote software that connects Bluetooth®.
Standard MADI streams can be confi gured on the device itself. Three presets store
detailed settings for signal sources (white/pink noise, sine waves, routing of
incoming channels), gains and MADI settings.
