Topic: HDSPe expresscard and HDSPe madiface

I own a HDSPe expresscard connected to a multiface 2 with the latest driver update(2.77 and flash tool update to 18 rev.)
on Mac.
All is fine with this configuration but i'm wondering if I would connect a madi device to the HDSPe expresscard can that
handle the madi signal/format?

Then are the HDSPe expresscards the same as the HDSPe madiface?
I'm just talking about the cards.

Thanks in advance
Alessandro

The cards are not interchangeable.

Thanks Daniel
Then I need another card but I noticed that those cards are sold
with the breakout box included.
What to do if need just the express card?

You can not use the Madiface Expresscard without the external device...

From Mytek web page
http://www.mytekdigital.com/download_li … l_v1.4.pdf

PAGE 15
The breakout box can be bypassed by directly
connecting the Madiface to the MADI DIO card. The
connection is made with a standard 6 pin FireWire
cable, but the signal does not use the FireWire
protocol. To avoid the risk of damaging the card,
please do not connect a FireWire signal to the
Madiface port on the DIO card or on the Madiface
ExpressCard itself.

Could you explain?

I will ask also Michael from mytek

Thanks

Sorry, this product is new to me... HeadScratch ed:
Should work then...

Nonetheless, the Expresscard for the Madiface is not sold separately...

The Mytek card is tested and fully supported. Like Daniel said you have to buy a complete MADIface to use it. The breakout box will come in handy sooner or later... ;-)
