Cascading the VM200
You can connect up to three VM200s together in a cascade configu-
ration to enable 36-plus channels of digital mixing. A two-mixer cas-
cade is illustrated below.
In this figure, the stereo buss signal flows from the VM200-A S/P DIF
OUT to the VM200-B S/P DIF IN. (S/P DIF OUT outputs the stereo
buss signal in digital form.)

INT44.

set to SPDIF44. Refer to “Setting the Master Word Clock” on page 162
