Menu 450: Dig I/O 2X mode
This menu determines the transmission method used when working with high sample rates.
NOTE: Menu 450 only applies to the AES/EBU multi-channel option module.
When set to "High Speed", each pair of odd/even tracks is transmitted on a single
balanced connection. In this case, tracks one through twelve would be transmitted on
the first six digital audio connections to the AES/EBU multi-channel option module.
When set to “1/2 Spd, 2 Line”, one track is transmitted on a single balanced connection. In this
case, tracks one through twelve would be transmitted on the first twelve digital audio connections
to the AES/EBU multi-channel option module. This mode is also known as "Dual Line" and/or
"2 Wire" mode.
The TDIF digital option card does not support the "High Speed" mode, being constrained to the
"1/2 Spd, 2 Line" Dual Line mode. Attempting to set "High Speed" mode on a TDIF board will
produce the error message "No Dig High Speed".
The ADAT option card does not support 96k
.
NOTE: Different manufacturers use different methods for transmitting high sample rates. Check
your product’s manual to determine the correct method for interfacing your MX-2424 with digital
consoles, outboard converters, etc. A mismatch of transmission method will result in clock noise
or lack of audio altogether.

When set to "High Speed", the MX-2424 sends and receives a stereo pair of audio tracks through
he 2 channel connection.

When set to "1/2 Spd, Mono", the MX-2424 sends and receives a single track of audio through
the 2 channel connection. This mode is also known as "Dual Line" and/or "2 Wire" mode.
