Default Re: HD IO - 16 Analog Inputs plus SPDIF inputs

Avid interface boxes are "only" 16 i/o but you can use that expansion port to daisy-chain like this: second box primary port goes to first box expansion port and the cable needs to be as short as possible.

Some 3rd party boxes such as Apogee Symphony II does the daisy-chaining internally. That box has space for two maximum of 16x16 i/O cards but the HD option card only has single DigiLink connector. The box feeds channels 1-16 from first i/o card and channels 17-32 from second i/o card, but it is still 100% meeting the spec.

You cannot daisy-chain more than two boxes into one card connector, because trhe cable maximum is 32 channels.
