Stage and Local I/O Rack Overview 59
Using MADI Outs on Stage 64 and Stage 32
The two MADI Out connectors on the Stage 64, and the single MADI Out on Stage 32, provide fixed one-for-one digital splits of
input channels from the corresponding unit (up to 64 input channels from Stage 64, and up to 32 from Stage 32) at a 48 or 96 kHz
sample rate. These let you connect an external MADI device such as a Pro Tools | HD MADI without needing to configure the
VENUE software Patchbay. You can enable and disable the MADI Outs on a per Stage unit basis.
Channel assignments for each Stage 64 MADI Out are as follows:
The single MADI Out port on Stage 32 carries up to 32 input channels (depending on Stage 32 I/O configuration) regardless of sam-
ple rate.
