The bracket of the board has two RJ45 network jacks, an analog stereo output via TRS jack (Phones) and D-Sub connector for the breakout cable, which provides MIDI input and output via 5-pin DIN connectors, and one AES-3 (AES/EBU) input and output with corresponding XLR connectors.
STATE LED by default lit in green to indicate that the network core has been initialized successfully. It flashes in various colors when using the "identify" command from Dante Controller (helpful to identify a specific card on the network).
Expansion Ports A and B are used to connect optional dual MADI + Word Clock expansion boards.
The Sync In connector is used to synchronize to another card.
The Sync Out 3-pin connector carries an internal word clock signal.
It can be used to synchronize multiple cards with sample accuracy, and without the need for an external connection.
The card where SYNC OUT is used is leader, the one with SYNC IN is follower. In the Settings dialog the slave has to be set to Sync In under .
