Versatile multiple input/output and format conversion unit. 1 x TDM expansion port for connection to a Mixpander. 3 x TDIF ports providing 24 inputs and 24 outputs at up to 48kHz, and 12/24 inputs and 12/24 outputs at up to 96kHz. 64 MADI inputs and outputs at up to 48kHz or 32 MADI inputs and outputs at up to 96kHz. 24 x balanced analogue inputs and outputs at up to 96kHz.
The iBox 64-MADI-TA offers extensive connectivity, including:
- 1 TDM Expansion Bus port for connection to a Mixpander.
- 3 TDIF ports providing 24 inputs and 24 outputs at up to 48kHz, and either 24 inputs and 24 outputs at up to 96kHz (Sydec “single wire” mode) or 12 inputs and 12 outputs at up to 96kHz (Tascam “double wire” mode).
- 64 MADI inputs and outputs at up to 48kHz or 32 MADI inputs and outputs at up to 96kHz. (The MADI 56 channel and 28 channel modes are also supported).
- 24 balanced analogue inputs and outputs at up to 96kHz on sub-D connectors (for use with sub-D to XLR looms).
All the audio connectors (except the headphone output) are located on the back panel, along with an IEC connector for the self-switching, 90-250 VAC power supply.
The aluminium front panel features:
- The power switch.
- A stereo headphone output.
- The input/output routing matrix, used to set up global connections between the TDIF, analogue and MADI inputs and outputs and the TDM Expansion Bus port. When the unit is connected to a Mixpander the inputs and outputs can be routed individually from the Soundscape Mixer software. So for example, input 1 could be set to TDIF, output 1 could be set to MADI, input 2 could be set to analogue and so on: all combinations are possible.
- The Sample Rate selection button, used to select a sample rate when the iBox is the Clock Master, and Sample Rate indicator LEDs.
- The Clock source selector: the source can be internal (the iBox can generate WordClock), external (WordClock or SuperClock signal received via the input connector) or TDIF.
- A metering section for the analogue inputs and outputs with an AD/DA selection button and mode indicator LEDs, and 24 tri-colour LEDs to indicate 30dBFS (green), -3dBFS (orange) and 0dBFS (red). This section also features an “XS” LED that indicates various operation or setup modes.
