Descripción
The DiGiCo MOD-DMI-MADI-B is a professional digital audio interface card designed to provide standard MADI connectivity for compatible DiGiCo systems. It supports up to 64 channels of digital audio input and 64 channels of digital audio output at 48 kHz or 96 kHz. The card uses 75Ω coaxial BNC connections for reliable transmission between compatible digital audio devices. MADI provides a practical method of transporting high channel counts over a relatively simple connection. The DMI-MADI-B is suitable for professional live sound, broadcast, recording, and system integration applications. Its high channel capacity makes it useful for expanding digital I/O within complex audio systems.
BNC MADI Connections
The DMI-MADI-B uses 75Ω coaxial BNC connections designed for standard MADI audio equipment. BNC connectivity provides a secure and widely adopted connection method for professional digital audio systems. The card can connect compatible DiGiCo racks and external MADI devices using standard coaxial MADI infrastructure. Its dedicated BNC interface allows straightforward integration into systems already using coaxial MADI connections. The robust connection format is well suited to professional touring and fixed-installation environments. This provides engineers with a familiar and reliable method of connecting high-channel-count digital audio equipment.
48 kHz and 96 kHz Operation
The DMI-MADI-B supports MADI operation at both 48 kHz and 96 kHz sample rates. At 48 kHz, the interface supports up to 64 channels of digital audio input and output. At 96 kHz, the B connection must be connected to provide the full available channel count. This flexibility allows the card to integrate into systems operating at different professional sample rates. Engineers can configure the card according to the requirements of their console, rack, and connected MADI equipment. The dual-rate capability makes the DMI-MADI-B suitable for a wide range of professional digital audio workflows.
DiGiCo Rack Integration
The DMI-MADI-B can be used to connect compatible DiGiCo racks and systems through a standard MADI connection. It supports integration with systems such as the D2-Rack, SD-Rack, and SD-MiNi Rack when equipped with the appropriate connector configuration. This allows digital audio to be transported between compatible racks and DiGiCo processing systems. The card provides an efficient way to expand I/O connectivity without relying exclusively on proprietary connection formats. Its modular design allows MADI connectivity to be incorporated into compatible DiGiCo configurations. This makes it useful for flexible system expansion in professional audio environments.
SD and 4REA4 Integration
The DMI-MADI-B provides useful integration capabilities between DiGiCo SD consoles and 4REA4 systems. When used with an SD/4REA4 configuration, the card allows an SD console to control I/O connected to the 4REA4 system. This provides engineers with centralized control of compatible digital audio resources. The MADI connection transports the required audio channels between the connected systems. Such integration is useful when expanding system I/O or combining different DiGiCo platforms. The DMI-MADI-B therefore provides a flexible connection solution for larger and more complex installations.
Professional System Compatibility
The DMI-MADI-B is designed for use across a range of DiGiCo professional audio systems and compatible MADI equipment. It is compatible with DiGiCo S-Series, Quantum Range, SD12, Orange Box, and 4REA4 systems. The card can also connect to standard BNC MADI audio devices using its 75Ω coaxial interface. Its high channel capacity and flexible sample-rate support make it suitable for live sound, touring, broadcast, recording, and installation applications. The modular DMI format provides a convenient way to add MADI connectivity to supported DiGiCo systems. This makes the DMI-MADI-B a practical solution for professional high-channel-count digital audio distribution.
