The MADI digital I/O module is capable of inter-
facing the 8 AD and DA channels of the Sphynx
2 in blocks of eight to any of the 56 channels
available in the MADI format in standard mode or
any of the up-to 64 channels when operating in
extended mode. The allocation can be set inde-
pendently for input and output. The interface will
pass all unused channels from the input to the
output connector, with a latency of a few samples.
All module settings are made via DADman.
The physical connection is made via two BNC
connectors. One for input and one for output.

The 8 channel SDIF3 I/O module is able to inter-
face all 8 input and output channels of the Sph-
ynx 2 according to the SDIF3 specification. The
connection is made via two 25 pin female D-sub
connectors. Each connector can interface 4 input
and output channels.
SDIF3 I/O Specifications:
Connectors:
2 x 25-pin female D-sub
Formats:
DSD64 and DSD128
Sample Rate:
2.288 and 4.576 Mhz
SDIF3 I/O Pin out:
The connector is compatible with the Merging
D25 to BNC break out cable. Interfacing can also
be made directly to the Mykerinos cards by using
a 1:1 male-male D-sub cable with 8 input and 8
output 50 Ohm coaxial cables
