MADI In 1 and MADI Out1 connectors provide 56 24-bit audio channels. At
96 kHz, they provide 28 24-bit audio channels (channels 1–28).
11. Format B MADI IN 2 and MADI OUT 2

the same audio as Format B MADI Out 1 but with the channel numbering re-
versed: Format A channels 29–56 are output on Format B MADI Out 2 chan-
nels 1–28; Format A channels 1–28 are output on Format B MADI Out 2
channels 29–56.
