Description
The DiGiCo MOD-DMI-OP-NC is a DMI Optocore expansion card featuring Neutrik OpticalCon multimode optical connectivity. It provides high-capacity digital audio networking for compatible DiGiCo systems and can be integrated with the Orange Box and 4REA4. When connected to an Orange Box, the card allows the converter to become part of an Optocore loop and interface with another DMI card. It supports up to 128 channels of I/O at 48 kHz or up to 64 channels at 96 kHz. The card is designed for professional live sound, touring, and permanent installation applications.
Optocore Audio Networking
The MOD-DMI-OP-NC provides optical Optocore audio connectivity through a Neutrik OpticalCon interface. It enables reliable digital audio transport over fiber between compatible DiGiCo equipment. The optical architecture provides flexible signal distribution for professional audio networks. This makes the card suitable for systems requiring high-capacity digital I/O and dependable network connectivity. Its modular DMI format allows straightforward integration into compatible DiGiCo hardware.
OpticalCon Connectivity
This version of the DMI-OPTO family uses Neutrik OpticalCon connectors for optical audio networking. OpticalCon provides a rugged connection format suited to professional production environments. The module is available in multimode and single-mode configurations, allowing users to select the appropriate optical format for their system. The MOD-DMI-OP-NC specifically provides the OpticalCon multimode configuration. This makes it well suited to touring and installation systems requiring robust fiber connectivity.
Orange Box Integration
Connecting the MOD-DMI-OP-NC to a DiGiCo Orange Box allows the Orange Box to be added to an Optocore loop. The Orange Box can then interface with another compatible DMI card for expanded audio connectivity. This provides a flexible way to integrate different digital audio formats into an Optocore network. At 48 kHz, the system can provide up to 128 channels of I/O. At 96 kHz, it supports up to 64 channels of I/O.
4REA4 System Integration
The MOD-DMI-OP-NC can also be used with the DiGiCo 4REA4 system. With SD and 4REA4 integration, an SD console can control I/O connected to the 4REA4. This provides centralized control of distributed digital audio resources within compatible DiGiCo systems. The integration is useful for professional installations and larger audio networks. The card's compatibility with both Orange Box and 4REA4 provides additional system design flexibility.
Professional Optical Expansion
The card supports 1G and 2G fiber speeds for high-capacity digital audio networking. Its optical connectivity helps simplify long-distance audio distribution while reducing dependence on conventional copper cabling. The module is designed for reliable operation in demanding live production and installation environments. It provides a scalable solution for expanding Optocore-based DiGiCo systems. The MOD-DMI-OP-NC is particularly suited to applications requiring robust Neutrik OpticalCon connectivity.
