Description
The DiGiCo MOD-DMI-MADI-C is a professional MADI interface card designed to provide digital audio connectivity through an RJ45 connection. It supports up to 64 channels of audio input and 64 channels of audio output at 48 kHz or 96 kHz. The card is specifically designed for DiGiCo audio-over-Cat5 devices and compatible MADI configurations. RJ45 connectivity provides a practical and convenient alternative to coaxial BNC MADI connections. The interface is well suited to professional systems requiring high channel-count digital audio transmission. It provides a flexible method of connecting compatible DiGiCo equipment within a digital audio network.
High-Channel-Count MADI
MADI is widely used in professional audio applications for transporting multiple digital audio channels over a single connection. The DMI-MADI-C supports up to 64 input and 64 output channels, providing substantial channel capacity for complex audio systems. This allows multiple audio signals to be transported efficiently between compatible DiGiCo devices. The high channel count reduces the need for multiple individual digital audio connections. The interface is suitable for large live sound, broadcast, recording, and installation systems. Its MADI architecture provides an efficient solution for high-density digital audio distribution.
48 kHz and 96 kHz Operation
The DMI-MADI-C supports operation at both 48 kHz and 96 kHz sample rates for flexible professional system configuration. At 48 kHz, the card provides up to 64 channels of digital audio input and output. The interface also supports 96 kHz operation for systems requiring higher sample-rate performance. This makes the card adaptable to different DiGiCo console and rack configurations. Engineers can select the appropriate sample rate according to the requirements of the connected system. The dual-rate capability provides greater flexibility across professional digital audio applications.
Console and Rack Configuration
The DMI-MADI-C includes internal switches that determine whether the connected device is configured as a console or rack. This provides greater flexibility when integrating the card into compatible DiGiCo systems. The configuration can accommodate connections to supported DiGiCo audio devices using the appropriate MADI-over-Cat5 architecture. It can also be used with compatible D-Rack and D2-Rack systems when the correct connector configuration is available. The internal switching simplifies system configuration without requiring additional external conversion hardware. This makes the card practical for professional installations and touring systems with different connection requirements.
DiGiCo Audio Over Cat5
The DMI-MADI-C is specifically designed for DiGiCo audio transmission over Cat5-compatible connections. Its RJ45 interface provides a familiar physical connection for supported DiGiCo digital audio systems. This allows compatible equipment to exchange high-channel-count MADI audio using suitable network-style cabling. The design provides a straightforward alternative to traditional BNC-based MADI connections in compatible DiGiCo configurations. It is particularly useful where Cat5-based infrastructure is preferred for system cabling and installation. The card provides reliable digital audio connectivity while maintaining the high channel capacity associated with MADI.
Professional System Compatibility
The DMI-MADI-C is designed for integration with a range of DiGiCo professional audio systems. It is compatible with DiGiCo S-Series, Quantum Range, SD12, Orange Box, and 4REA4 configurations. The card can also connect compatible DiGiCo devices using RJ45 Standard MADI and supported D-Rack or D2-Rack configurations. Its flexible console and rack configuration options make it suitable for complex professional audio systems. The modular DMI format provides an efficient way to add RJ45 MADI connectivity to supported equipment. This makes the DMI-MADI-C a practical solution for live sound, touring, broadcast, recording, and installation applications.
