Input Options
Word Clock - Termination
Checking this option terminates the word clock input internally with 75 Ohms.
Optical 2 In
SPDIF will turn the optical input into an optical SPDIF input, ADAT into an ADAT input (default).
Please note that using the optical input with SPDIF disables the AES input via XLR.
MADI Input
Options: Optical - default. Coaxial - the BNC word clock input can be used as coaxial MADI
input. Auto - the UFX+ scans both inputs for a valid MADI signal and activates one as soon as a
MADI signal is found. Split – uses both inputs with 32 channels each.
DSP – Record EQ+D
Switches EQ and Dynamics of all input channels into the recording path. In case Loopback has
been activated the EQ and Dynamics of the Output channel are within the recording path. See
also chapter 27.6.
Output Options
AES Format
The AES output signal can have the Channel Status Professional or Consumer (SPDIF). This
setting is also valid when ADAT2 has been set as AES/SPDIF output. For further details please
refer to chapter 21.2.
Optical 2 Out
This optical TOSLINK output can operate as ADAT or SPDIF output.
MADI Output
Options: Optical - default. Mirror - the BNC word clock output can be used as coaxial MADI
output carrying the same signal as the optical output. Split - uses both outputs with 32 channels
each.
MADI Format
Defines the format of the MADI output signal. MADI can be a 56 or 64 channel signal.
MADI Frame
Sample rates higher than 48 kHz can be transmitted using the normal 48K Frame, or using a
native 96K Frame at the card's output.
Input Status
Indicates for inputs Word, AES, ADAT1 and ADAT2 whether a valid signal (Lock, No Lock) or a
valid and synchronous signal (Sync) is present. The third column shows the sample frequency
detected by the hardware (coarse recognition, 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz etc.).
Clock Options
Word Clock I/O – Single Speed
The word clock output signal usually equals the current sample rate. Selecting Single Speed
causes the output signal to always stay within the range of 32 kHz to 48 kHz. So at 96 kHz and
192 kHz sample rate, the output word clock is 48 kHz.
The word clock input usually adapts to the current sample rate range. For example a 48 kHz
word signal can be used to sync the internal clock of 96 and 192 kHz. When the option Single
Speed is active the interface’s sample rate follows the external sample rate even over Single,
Double and Quad Speed. A word signal of 192 kHz will cause the
UFX+ to use 192 kHz inter-
nally. This feature is also called Follow Clock.
