DirectOut MADI.BRIDGE
8 port MADI switcher and router, 6x coaxial BNC, 2x optical SC, 512 to 64 channel matrix, 1x MIDI I/O for remote control, 1x USB 2.0 for firmware updates and remote control, preset management, device lock, redundant PSU
Initially developed as a simple link between MADI devices from any
manufacturer, MADI.BRIDGE acts as a patchbay, signal distributor, signal
buffer and input selector all in one device. The latest incarnation
sports a complete redesign and has gained a number of extra features
including redundant power supplies, a USB port to enable firmware
updates for future enhancements and additional remote control
capabilities.
MADI.BRIDGE enables the connection of up to 16 devices via six
coaxial (BNC) MADI I/Os and two optical multi-mode MADI I/Os. All input
signals are routed to the desired outputs in their native state, thus
supporting any format regardless of channel count, whether or not
control data and/or sample rates are included, or even violations of the
MADI protocol. Highly sensitive input stages mean that up to 100m
coaxial cable runs can be supported, even between devices. An intuitive
and easy to navigate user interface makes for fast and straightforward
operation.
“There are some products that never outlive their usefulness, and this is one of them,” remarked DirectOut CEO Stephan Flock. “Naturally
we’ve given it a bit of a facelift and added some extra features, but
the essential functionality remains unchanged because that is what our
customers have asked for. We’re only too happy to oblige!”
