Topic: Two questions about the ADI 648

First of all, the MADI I/O is being interfaced with 75 ohm BNC cables. The Madi optical and sync lights continuously blink. I don't remember this happening when I was using it before but my studio has been mothballed for four years so I'm a bit rusty. Is this normal if a MADI optical cable isn't being used?

The second question has to do with using the 648 as a standalone ADAT patchbay. Is it possible to power up the ADI 648 and  route signal from input to output without having the unit clocked to the MADI card? The unit is temporarily on loan to another studio right now or I'd try it before asking.

Thanks.

Re: Two questions about the ADI 648

Well, I just went over and tested the standalone patchbay scenario. It works just fine when clocked to an external WC.
