Anyone know if the fiber output of the Digico Purple Box is standard optical MADI? as in can be plugged into another optical madi device for recording, like an RME HDSP card? https://www.rme-audio.de/hdspe-madi-fx.html

Or is a proprietary optical signal that must go to another Purple Box to be converted back to MADI?

I'm 99% sure it's just a dual MADI format conversion box, no special sauce or protocol (it's not Optocore).  Similarly, the Sonible ml:mio is a MADI format converter, and there's one SSL makes as well.  Just make sure you're sending "Std MADI" (64 ch) from the Digico out to the RME.  Some devices get cranky with with the 56 channel MADI that is Digico-ized, I don't know if the RME is one of them.

Hi Jonathan
 This is indeed two ports of MADI over fiber and NOT Optocore as Brian mentions.
Best Regards
