MADI I/O Components
The following tables summarize the I/O capabilities of Avid’s MADI converters for System 5. The DF66 MADI I/O depends on the
number of SP663 DSP cards installed. Each card provides four MADI I/Os for a maximum of 24 MADI inputs and 23 MADI outputs
(MADI out 1 is reserved for the MA703/MC524 monitor connection).
For modular I/O, only mic, analog, AES, and embedder/de-embedder modules are shown. Refer to the Modular I/O Configuration
Guide for more details on sync, MADI I/O, and remote control modules as well as general configuration requirements.
