CHAPTER 1: Overview

Introduction

Welcome to ANNA-LISA, DirectOut’s battery powered and mobile analyser and

signal generator for MADI signals. ANNA-LISA provides a coaxial MADI I/O for

standard BNC cabling and a ﬂexible SFP I/O to meet various connection standards

by using SFP modules. Input signals are analysed (e.g. signal level, jitter, sample

rate,...) and can be output or replaced by a generated signal (e.g. white/pink noise,

sine waves,...).

Feature Summary

MADI Ports 1 x SFP (empty cage without module)

1 x coaxial BNC connectors

MADI Formats 56/64 channel, 48k/96k Frame

Sample Rates 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, 192 kHz +/-12.5%

Bluetooth® v2.0+EDR support for remote control via mobile

devices

USB Port USB 2.0 (B) plug for charging.

Analysing Features Sample Rate, MADI Format, Signal Amplitude, Jitter,

Conformity with AES10 Spec, Eye Pattern

How it works

The signal of the selected input is analysed. Analysis results are displayed on the

device itself via simple ‘trafﬁc light’ LEDs, detailed information can be obtained

with a remote software that connects Bluetooth®.

Standard MADI streams can be conﬁgured on the device itself. Three presets store

detailed settings for signal sources (white/pink noise, sine waves, routing of

incoming channels), gains and MADI settings.

CHAPTER 1: Overview

Applications

ANNA-LISA can be used in numerous applications where MADI connections are

used. Both proper signal analysis and test signal generation serve the aim of solid

operating conditions in MADI environments.

Typical applications include:

• ensuring stable signal connections

• detection of cabling issues (poor signal condition)

• line check of pre-installed cabling

• inspection of compatibility issues between different MADI transceivers

• ...
