Notes: CLASSIFICATION FLAG: Verto MX performs no analog conversion -- it is a pure MADI<->Dante digital format bridge. device_class set to 'AD/DA Converter' as the closest available taxonomy match per instructions, but 'Stagebox / Expander' is arguably equally or more accurate -- flagged for review. dsp left blank (no onboard mixer/DSP/routing-matrix engine documented, unlike the A32pro/Pulse16 lines). power_watts of 14.4 taken from stated '14.4VA (1.2A at 12V)' (VA, not strictly watts) -- FLAG unit conversion. Product page notes incompatibility with Blackmagic Constellation MADI series. Ferrofish site EUR-only; price_usd $1,599.00 is B&H Photo US street price, not manufacturer MSRP -- FLAG basis (a separate web search also surfaced a conflicting $1,449 figure from an unclear/unverified source, not used here).
