Topic: Wiring of Hdspe madi card expansion...

Hello,
I'm considering the Hdspe madi card but don't have room for the extra wc/midi card.  Could someone describe the physical wiring interconnect between the main card and the wc/midi card? How much is attached to the second panel - a card or just a cable?
Thanks
Hugh

The connection is done by a simple flat cable (typical computer stuff), which can be as long as 1 m without problems.

Re: Wiring of Hdspe madi card expansion...

Hello,
Thanks Mattias.  If I were to take a guess, I'd say the expansion panel has it's connectors soldered to a parallel pcb, which then has the flat cable idc connector on the back of it, meaning the entire expansion card is perhaps 2 cm deep behind the panel.  Am I close?  I'm asking because I'm trying to fit this in a tight space.
Thanks for the help,
H

Does the HDSPe Madi Express card come with a cable to connect the main card and the word clock card together and what is the length of the cable?

Thanks

5 cm behind the panel. 20 cm cable length.
