11.3.2. Number of Channels
The supported number of channels per port or stream at different sample rates is shown in the following
table.

Since there are two independent MADI ports, the total supported number of channels can
be multiplied by two. Since there are eight independent AVB streams, the total supported
number of channels can be multiplied by eight. The analog channel count is always 32
regardless of sample rate. The maximum amount of digital inputs is 192 channels (at 48
kHz, 64 Ch MADI). The maximum amount of digital outputs is 192 channels (at 48 kHz, 64
Ch MADI).
11.3.3. Selecting a Sample Rate
To configure the device sample rate on the device:
1. Enter the
CLOCK
section. The cursor highlights the currently selected clock.
2. Rotate the encoder to highlight the current sample rate.
3. Push the encoder. Two blue arrows will appear to indicate that the encoder can now be used to
change the current setting.
4. Rotate the encoder until the preferred sample rate is shown.
5. Push the encoder again to activate the setting.
