2.6 Converting Between Third-Party Formats

2.6.1 Using Two Units (56 Bidirectional Channels)

1. Connect Format B MADI Input of the first FC726 to the Format B MADI Output

of the second FC726.

2. Connect Format B MADI Input of the second FC726 to the Format B MADI Out-

put of the first FC726.

3. At 48 kHz, use the In1 and Out1 connectors; at 96 kHz, use In1 and Out1 and In2

and Out2 connectors.

4. Connect the third-party devices as described in their sections of this chapter.

5. Connect a common sync source to both FC726s and all attached third-party de-

vices.

NOTE: Do not allow both FC726s to attempt to lock to each other’s MADI input.

2.6.2 Using One Unit (24 Bidirectional Channels)

1. Move dip switch #1 to the down position.

2. Loop Format B MADI Out 2 to Format B MADI In 1.

3. If there is no sync on Format B, select Format A as the sync source from the front

panel.

4. Connect the third-party I/O devices.

The conversion is from third-party I/O channels 1–24 to channels 25–48. As always, all

third-party inputs are still converted to Format B MADI Out 1.

For example, to convert 24 channels of ADAT to 24 channels TDIF (DA88), connect

ADAT to third-party channels 1–24, connect the three DA88s to channels 25–48 and

follow the steps above.
