Sync
Primary sync for a DREAM II system is provided by an SX-20 sync and I/O box. This is shipped as a
standard component with DREAM II systems. Adding an SX-48 increases the number of I/O channels.
It is important to synchronise SX-48 with DREAM II, to ensure clean audio transmission through the
system. This is achieved by connecting the same primary sync source to both the SX-20 and the SX-
48. For example, if a video house sync is being used, it should be connected to both boxes, and both
boxes should have video selected as the sync source.

The MADI connectors on the rear of the SX-48 are used to transmit up to 48 channels between it and
the DREAM II system. Use MADI cables to connect to the BNC connectors on the rear of the CC-1
card installed in the DREAM II host PC.
Connect MADI Out on the CC-1 to MADI In on SX-48.
Connect MADI In on the CC-1 to MADI Out on SX-48.
To connect more SX-48s, add a CMI MADI extension board to the DREAM II host PC.
