Overview

The marc extender expands the marc 4 digi with additional connections to the optical Toslink I/O. Besides the electrical S/PDIF I/O the extender alternatively provides a balanced AES/EBU I/O with XLR connectors. The features are made complete by a wordclock input. The Marc 4 digi thereby evolves to an universal digital solution with professional connection possibilities.

Like every member of the Marc-series, the marc 2 extender excels due to easy installation and a steadily controlled high quality of manufacturing. It operates perfectly with Intel and AMD based systems.

In-/Outputs

Digital: The card provides electrical in- and outputs for S/PDIF (RCA) and AES/EBU (XLR). They can be operated with 24bit and 96 kHz. This way high quality converters or signal processors can transmit data without quality-loss due to dithering or resampling. At the same time there is a 2-pol digital input on the basic card which can be fed with e.g. the signal of a CD-ROM drive. The digital XLR and RCA-Connectors are located on the extender board just like the WC-input.

Wordclock: The Marc DIGI Extender provides a wordclock input (BNC-connector).
