Description
The DiGiCo MOD-DMI-OP-NCS is a DMI-OPTO expansion card designed to provide Optocore audio connectivity through OpticalCon optical connectors. It allows compatible DiGiCo equipment to transport high-capacity digital audio over an Optocore network. When connected to a DiGiCo Orange Box, the card allows the Orange Box to be added to 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, broadcast, and permanent installation applications.
Optocore Audio Networking
The MOD-DMI-OP-NCS provides Optocore audio connectivity using OpticalCon connections. It enables reliable digital audio transport between compatible DiGiCo equipment over fiber. The optical network architecture provides flexible signal distribution for professional audio systems. The card is suitable for large-scale applications requiring high-capacity digital I/O networking. Its DMI format allows straightforward integration into compatible DiGiCo systems.
OpticalCon Connectivity
The MOD-DMI-OP-NCS is the OpticalCon version of the DMI-OPTO expansion card family. OpticalCon connectors provide a rugged fiber connection designed for professional audio and production environments. The card is available in multimode and single-mode configurations depending on system requirements. Its OpticalCon interface provides secure and reliable optical connectivity. This makes it well suited to touring productions and permanent installations.
Orange Box Integration
Connecting the MOD-DMI-OP-NCS to a DiGiCo Orange Box allows the Orange Box to become part of an Optocore loop. The Orange Box can then interface with another compatible DMI card for expanded digital audio connectivity. This provides a flexible method for integrating different DiGiCo audio formats into an Optocore network. At 48 kHz, the system supports 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-NCS 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 I/O within compatible DiGiCo systems. The integration offers additional flexibility for professional installations and networked audio environments. It is suitable for applications requiring distributed digital audio connectivity.
Professional Optical Expansion
The card supports 1G and 2G fiber transmission speeds for high-capacity Optocore audio networking. Its optical architecture helps simplify long-distance digital audio distribution while reducing dependence on copper cabling. The modular DMI design allows integration into supported DiGiCo equipment. It is suitable for live production, touring, broadcast, theatre, and permanent installation applications. The MOD-DMI-OP-NCS provides a scalable solution for expanding compatible DiGiCo Optocore networks.
