About Varipitch
The S-MADI does not support the pitch variation (by upto 12.5%) that is allowed by the MADI standard (Varipitch). When the
CLOCK SOURCE selection is set to [MADI] or [WORD CLOCK], keep the frequency tolerance of your MADI source to +/- 40 ppm or
less. Values exceeding +/- 40 ppm may produce noise or make synchronization with external equipment impossible.
What’s REAC EMBEDDED POWER ?
This feature supplies power to connected REAC devices while simultaneously transmitting REAC signals over the same cable. This
means the devices receiving power does not need to be connected to a power cable or a battery.
